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.

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 production control

1.2 Set-up is carried out correctly in minimum time with minimum wastage

1.3 Availability of all job-related components is checked

2. Set up delivery systems

2.1 Delivery systems are set up and adjusted according to job specifications

3. Set up machine for basic single or continuous folding

3.1 Folding units are set up and adjusted according to job specifications

3.2 Folding rollers/belts/rails are set up and adjusted according to job specifications

4. Set up in-line units for basic processes

4.1 Minor in-line printing/converting/binding units are set up for basic processes and adjusted according to machine requirements and job specifications

4.2 Assistance is given setting up major in-line printing/converting/binding units

5. Conduct sample run

5.1 Material to be used for sample is organised correctly

5.2 Machine is set up and operated to produce a specified sample according to work health and safety requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures

5.3 Sample is visually inspected to determine adjustment requirements

5.4 Results are interpreted to determine adjustment requirements

5.5 Adjustments are carried out according to product and machine specifications

Evidence of the ability to:

demonstrate all safety devices on the machinery

correctly set up machines for basic folding for TWO jobs (if possible using different sizes and weights of substrate) EITHER with a single fold to run continuously OR a single quire fold on a sheet gather/stitch/fold/trim machine OR an automatic web-fed machine to achieve a single fold 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:

explain the work health and safety factors that must be considered when:

setting up and/or operating machine transport systems

setting folder transportation and delivery systems

setting up and/or adjusting the folding unit

adjusting machine units

explain folding requirements information that would be found in the job documentation or production control system

for reel systems only, identify areas of the reel stand to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation

for sheet systems only, identify areas of the sheet-fed transportation system to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation

identify areas of the delivery system to observe to prevent damage to the finished product

list ways folded sheets can be secured for dispatch

explain communication to instigate if the:

job is out-of-square

ink is too wet for production

job does not coincide with the sample

explain how to avoid substrate scratching/scuffing during transportation

list problems to expect if the machine is running too fast

determine checks of roller pressures for correctness

explain the adjustment if the sheet is out-of-square

explain possible reasons for the sheet being out-of-square, and adjustments required if the sheet will not leave the folding unit

explain the adjustment to ensure sheets are not smudging/scuffing

list steps to ensure correct alignment of in-line processes/units

explain adjustments to keep units correctly positioned

identify segments of the product to inspect at sample run completion to ensure product quality

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, machinery, equipment and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

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.

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.
