Assessment criteria

Reproduced verbatim from the Pearson specification — the same grid the assignment brief carries. A unit grade is the highest band where all criteria in that band (and every band below it) are met.

Pass

4 criteria
A.P1Reduce waste in a given business process by suggesting improvements
A.P2Reduce waste in a given business process by suggesting improvements based on comprehensive mapping
B.P3Implement 5S recommendations in an engineering work area
B.P4Implement 5S recommendations effectively in an engineering work area based on a comprehensive 5S engineering work area scan

Merit

2 criteria
A.M1Evaluate the benefits gained from reducing waste in a given business process
B.M2Evaluate the benefits gained from the effective implementation of 5S in an engineering work area

Distinction

2 criteria
A.D1Sources of information
B.D2Sources of information

Command verbs in this unit

The verb decides the depth expected — that is what separates Pass from Merit and Distinction work on the same learning aim.

ReduceImplementEvaluateSources
Pearson's ladder runs Identify → Describe → Explain → Compare / Analyse → Evaluate / Justify / Assess. A Merit or Distinction criterion on the same aim always implies the Pass beneath it: an “evaluate” answer that never first “explains” fails, however polished it reads. Hover a verb for what it demands.

Learning aims

  • A. Implement waste reduction techniques in an engineering workplace
  • B. Make improvements to the organisation of an engineering work area using a 5S work area scan

How checkb.tech checks this unit

Upload a learner's submission and checkb.tech reads it against exactly these criteria, reporting each one as met, partly met, or not met — with the evidence that informed the verdict cited, so every call is auditable.

The check runs against the official Pearson documents for this unit, and identical evidence always produces an identical result — the same script gets the same verdict every time.

It never awards a grade. You stay the assessor: confirm, dismiss, or act on every criterion before your assessment decision is final.
