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.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for job | 1.1 Job specifications are read and interpreted from job documentation or process control system 1.2 Job is signed off by printers 1.3 Mailing procedures are identified from job specifications 1.4 Materials are checked and in correct order for job and all sheets are in correct position for barcode scanning if required 1.5 All tracks and conveyor belts are clean and clear 1.6 Work area is safe and ready for production, according to safety requirements |
2. Set up job | 2.1 Mail type is identified from job specifications 2.2 Number and type of inserts are identified 2.3 Job specifications are entered into console 2.4 Settings are checked against job specifications before production starts |
3. Monitor operation | 3.1 Machine is jogged to ensure correct positioning and hopper feed operation 3.2 All sections of the machine are monitored to ensure optimum operation 3.3 Envelopes are manipulated and fanned to ensure they move efficiently through the machine 3.4 Folds, inserts and envelopes are continuously monitored for defects, and defects are put aside for remake 3.5 Materials are checked and hoppers reloaded as required 3.6 Adjustments are made when quality standards are not met 3.7 Sequence is monitored according to job specifications 3.8 Number of spoils is documented according to enterprise procedures |
4. Identify and rectify problems | 4.1 Sequence or inserter errors are identified and barcodes checked, and changes entered into console, if required 4.2 Tracks, conveyors and sensors are cleaned and cleared if lags and jams occur 4.3 Any machine consumables needing replacement are replaced or adjusted with a minimum of downtime 4.4 Faulty performance of equipment is identified and reported according to enterprise procedures 4.5 Wastage is monitored, kept to a minimum and correctly disposed of according to enterprise quality standards |
5. Pack envelopes | 5.1 Completed envelopes are unloaded and checked for quality 5.2 Completed packages are packed into labelled trays and Australia Post labels are affixed according to job specifications 5.3 Sequence numbers and postcodes are in correct pre-sort order ensuring job continuity 5.4 Job is reconciled and documented and supervisor is notified if job does not reconcile 5.5 Machine is cleared and stock put away |
Evidence of the ability to:
safely set up, operate and monitor an in-line mail machine
demonstrate all safety devices on the machine
complete job that includes multiple inserts and rectify any routine production problems that occur with minimum downtime.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain correct setup procedure to meet work health and safety (WHS) and enterprise requirements
explain how quality checks are achieved
identify waste disposal procedures relevant to this task, where they are kept and the information included in them.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the converting, binding and finishing field of work and include access to:
in-line cut sheet form feeder
folder and inserter
special purpose tools, equipment and materials.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
