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. Set up profile cutting | 1.1 All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications 1.2 Correct materials are checked and available for the job 1.3 Adhesives are appropriate for the substrate, application process and machine 1.4 Work area is made safe and ready for production according to safety requirements 1.5 Profile cutting unit including profile knives, and where appropriate, fly knives, is set up according to job specifications 1.6 Blades are checked for sharpness and fitted as necessary, with units calibrated according to job specifications 1.7 Settings are checked against job specifications before production is commenced 1.8 Machine is stepped to ensure profile is in the correct position and paper tension is accurate 1.9 Envelope shape and size conforms to job specifications and cuts are clean and meet quality requirements |
2. Confirm quality | 2.1 Sample from the machine is selected and checked to ensure it conforms to quality standards 2.2 Adjustments are made when standards are not met 2.3 Samples are continuously monitored for defects, and defects are removed 2.4 Efficiency, quality and output rate of production run are monitored for problems, and any deficiencies resolved 2.5 Wastage is monitored, kept to a minimum and correctly disposed of according to enterprise quality standards 2.6 Locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known |
Evidence of the ability to:
set up profile cutting units for manufacturing banker, open-sided wallet, open-ended pocket and automatic filling envelopes, according to job specifications and within the production timeframe.
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 common faults associated with profile cutting, and causes and methods to correct
explain how blades are checked for sharpness in accordance with enterprise and work health and safety requirements
identify relevant enterprise documentation procedures and other documentation, 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 and use of:
job sheets, work tickets or processing orders
profile cutting machinery used for cutting envelope profiles
special purpose tools, equipment and materials.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
