Evaluate and select bodywork materials, equipment and processes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit covers the work involved in evaluating and selecting the materials, equipment and processes required for the bodywork operations.

The unit applies to those with responsibility for resource coordination and leadership of others individually and in teams.

This unit covers the competence to research and evaluate the full range of bodywork materials, equipment and processes and to select that most appropriate for each particular specified application taking into account evolving technology and market needs.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Locate, interpret and apply information.

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment.

Lead others and work effectively to improve production quality and outcomes.

Evaluate materials, equipment and bodywork processes considering:

materials and equipment currently available

materials and equipment innovations and potential

equipment capabilities and availabilities

workforce availabilities and capabilities

cost benefit analysis (or equivalent).

Identify the impact of decisions in terms of commercial, environmental and safety risks.

Encourage participation of staff in the planning of work activities and changes.

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Access to a full range of current and emerging bodywork technology information.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competence.

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role.

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

research, collect, organise and understand information related to bodywork materials and equipment, including technical, regulatory, environmental and safety requirements.

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of work with managers/supervisors, workers and customers, coordinated evaluation of options and reporting of outcomes.

plan and organise activities, including the systematic identification, research and evaluation of options

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity.

use mathematical ideas and techniques to model the options and statistically compare results and potentials.

create and apply systematic problem-solving techniques which will anticipate variables and cater for evaluations and comparisons.

use the full scope of available workplace technology related to bodywork materials and equipment and to their analysis and evaluation.

Required knowledge

industry sector developments and trends in terms of materials and equipment.

company or equivalent business policies and plans, including forecast systems and products.

company bodywork, market, work systems and existing equipment.

legislative requirements of the bodywork activities.

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Unit context

OH&S requirements include legislation, vehicle industry regulations, safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code, and safe operating procedures.

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, Australian Design Rules, environmental legislation, health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements.

Work requires individuals to demonstrate research, analytical, judgement and problem-solving skills in the diagnosis of faults.

Materials and equipment options are to include those in general service in the industry and those identified as emerging technology.

Workplace environment

The function is undertaken in accordance with established enterprise procedures and practices may include requirements recommended by manufacturer/component supplier.

Customers or suppliers may be internal or external.

Machines/equipment

Machines/equipment may include:

any machine typically used in the bodyworks industry

microprocessor or computer controlled machines.

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices.

Information and procedures

Sector trade journals and related publications.

Work procedures/instructions.

Manufacturer/component supplier specifications and instructions.

Standard forms of workplace process and procedure.

Organisation work specifications and requirements.

Australian Design Rules.

Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to the product.

Australian Standards and quality procedures.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Requirements for bodywork activities are identified. 
A framework and rating system is developed to facilitate comparisons of cost/benefits and other qualitative properties of materials, equipment and processes. 
Current best practice and future trends for undertaking bodywork are assessed to establish comparisons and benchmarks. 
Steps required for bodywork processes are identified and flow charts produced, where necessary. 
Specifications are identified to match each bodywork process. 
Consultations are conducted with staff and management to identify additional or altered specifications. 
Materials, tooling, and/or equipment requirements for the bodywork are identified and documented. 
Existing materials, equipment and stock on hand is evaluated to match requirements of the proposed processes. 
OH&S requirements to provide safe work systems for the materials, equipment and processes are identified. 
Data is compiled and documented. 
Materials are assessed for required quality, finish and conformity to standards. 
Equipment options are identified. 
Materials, equipment and processes are selected based on comparisons of performance, cost and specifications compared to the prepared rating system. 
Processes are documented to enterprise and industry standards.
