This unit (BSBFLM309) describes the skills and knowledge required to support the organisation's continuous improvement systems and processes. Particular emphasis is on actively encouraging the team to participate in the process, monitoring and reporting on specified outcomes and supporting opportunities for further improvements. It applies to individuals with roles of responsibility who use initiative, organisational and communication skills to influence the ongoing development of the organisation. At this level, work will normally be carried out within known routines, methods and procedures, and may also involve complex or non-routine activities that require some discretion and judgement.
