Criteria Description Task no.
P1 Explain how three engineering processes are used safely
when manufacturing a given product or when delivering a
given service.
P2 Explain how human factors, as an individual or a team, affect
the performance of engineering processes.
M1 Analyse why three engineering processes are used to Task 1
manufacture a product or to deliver a service and how
human factors, as an individual and a team, affects the
performance of engineering processes.
D1 Evaluate, using high quality written language, the
effectiveness of using different engineering processes to
manufacture a product or to deliver a service and how
human factors, as an individual and a team, affect the
performance of engineering processes.
Vocational Scenario or You are working as a final year apprentice in a small engineering company.
Context You have been using some engineering processes to manufacture Steel Bolts
as part of your team. Your Manager wants you to look at whether the
company is using the most appropriate engineering processes when
manufacturing Steel Bolts.
I certify that the work submitted for this assignment is my own. I have clearly referenced any sources
used in the work. I understand that false declaration is a form of malpractice.

You are working as a final year apprentice in a small
engineering company. You have been using some
engineering processes to manufacture Steel Bolts as
part of your team; your manager is pleased with your
work and has decided that you should be given some
more responsibility. He wants you to look at whether the
Vocational Scenario or
company is using the most appropriate engineering
Context
processes when manufacturing Steel Bolts
Your manager has asked you to examine a Steel Bolt
and to report back on the engineering processes that can
be used to make it, including health and safety factors,
and how human factors could affect the performance of
these processes. The report will impact upon company
investment decisions in the future.
Task 1
You are going to evaluate the effectiveness of
engineering processes and how human factors affect
them.
To do this:
The Steel bolts needs to be produced using a range of
engineering processes. You need to:
• Research the processes used (at least three), including
relevant health and safety factors and
legislation/regulations; and
• Research how these engineering processes can be
affected by human factors (individual and team).
You then need to:
Produce a report that evaluates the effectiveness of
the engineering processes (at least three) used to
manufacture the product and how human factors affect
the performance of the engineering processes. Your
report should include:
• Information on the advantages and limitations of the
engineering processes used (at least three) compared
with the advantages and limitations of using other
possible processes, which should include justifications
as to which processes are most effective, by referring
to the specific requirements of the product or service –
as part of this, you must provide thorough details

about how the engineering processes work/operate,
including health and safety factors and legislation and
regulations that apply; and
• Evidence that you have a strong awareness of a range
of human factors, and can judge how they impact on
the performance of the engineering processes from
both an individual and team perspective.
Checklist of evidence A report, prepared as an individual, detailing
required engineering processes and the impact that human
factors can have on their performance, using a case
study context based on a given engineered product.
