Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

recognise and replace deteriorated or worn parts

plan and meet seasonal deadlines

identify most effective and economic option in the replacement, repair and overhaul of components

use and maintain welding and thermal cutting equipment

use literacy skills to read, interpret and follow organisational policies and procedures, develop sequenced written instructions, record accurately and legibly information collected and select and apply procedures to a range of tasks

use oral communication skills/language competence to fulfil the job role as specified by the organisation including questioning, active listening, asking for clarification, negotiating solutions and responding to a range of views

use numeracy skills to estimate, calculate and record routine and more complex workplace measures and data

use interpersonal skills to work with others and relate to people from a range of cultural, social and religious backgrounds and with a range of physical and mental abilities.

Required knowledge

assemblies and components of drive, electrical and hydraulic systems

operational requirements of machinery and equipment

detailed knowledge of mechanics and equipment operating systems

storage and use of welding equipment

OHS legislative and enterprise requirements

environmental codes of practice with regard to the major repair of machinery and equipment.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole.

Machinery and equipment may include:

harvesters

tractors

seeding machines with components such as metering systems, air flow control, blower drives, air system, electronic monitoring systems, hydraulic hoses and couplings

engines

boom spray units

harvesters

associated grain-handling equipment.

The repair and replacement process for machinery may involve:

rectifying major faults and restoring machinery and equipment systems to an acceptable status of operation by replacing worn, failed, faulty or damaged mechanical, hydraulic, basic electrical or frame and support structure parts and components.

The repair and replacement process for machinery may include:

carrying out tests and making adjustments

rectifying faults by welding, aligning, tightening, securing or adjusting components that are not a part of normal service operations

Major repairs may require dismantling and assembly operations.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
