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.

5. Conduct shutdown of production process | 5.1 Correct shutdown sequence is followed according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 5.2 Shutdown is conducted in association with fellow workers and in compliance with WHS requirements 5.3 Substrate waste is removed from operating area and recycled or disposed of, where required, according to regulatory requirements and enterprise procedures |
6. Clean rotary cutting machine at end of run | 6.1 Cutting devices and knife/knives are cleaned or replaced ready for next run 6.2 Cutting devices are sharpened 6.3 Machine bed is cleaned ready for next run 6.4 Cutting units are disengaged and cleaned ready for next run 6.5 In-line printing/converting/binding/finishing units are cleaned ready for next run 6.6 Transportation and delivery systems are disengaged and cleaned ready for next run 6.7 Production records or other documentation are accurately completed where required by enterprise procedures |
This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Delivery systems MUST include EITHER: | reel OR sheet |
Monitoring and adjusting MUST include EITHER: | reel stand and rewind section web control system sheeting section OR feeder and delivery system sheet pick-up and transportation system transfer system |
Evidence of the ability to:
demonstrate all safety devices on the machinery
demonstrate any THREE cutting processes, and for each process:
produce rotary cut products for TWO jobs, with different types and sizes of substrate and design of finished patterns, according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria.
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:
identify work health and safety factors for:
setting up and/or operating machine transport systems
setting up and/or operating machine delivery systems
maintaining the cutting process
monitoring the rotary cutting process
conducting machine shutdown procedures
identify checks needed when:
substrate is removed from the machine
waste is removed from the machine and surrounding area for disposal or recycling
cutting devices or knives are cleaned, stored or replaced ready for the next run
identify areas of the delivery system to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation
identify sectors of the basic in-line printing/converting/binding/finishing process that may need to be monitored and adjusted to meet approved standards
explain production difficulties that can be expected during production runs and areas that may need adjustment to meet client requirements
explain the procedure for correcting common machine faults
identify areas of the machine that require cleaning at the end of the run
determine production records to be kept or written up and information that should be included
determine quality aspects to consider in a completed rotary cutting job
identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation 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 special purpose tools, equipment and materials.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
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.
