Use electronic monitoring systems (converting and finishing)

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use electronic monitoring systems for glue lines used in the container and carton sector of the industry, and for gatherers and folders used in the binding and finishing sector.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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



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. Set up electronic monitoring system

1.1 Parameters are set according to job type and specifications and enterprise procedures

1.2 Monitoring system is positioned according to job type and specifications

1.3 Ejection system is positioned according to job type and specifications, where relevant

1.4 Marking system is positioned according to job type and specifications, where relevant

1.5 ‘Learn’ function is started to identify sheets and signatures, where relevant

2. Run job and monitor production

2.1 Glue line registration and glue application is monitored to ensure product conforms to job specifications

2.2 Machine is adjusted if the number of rejects exceeds specified limits

2.3 Reasons for stoppages are identified and corrected

2.4 Initial set-up parameters are monitored and reviewed to ensure smooth production of quality product

3. Review production data

3.1 Production rejects are monitored and causes identified

3.2 Overall data is reviewed at the end of the product run

3.3 Information on production documentation is recorded as required

Evidence of the ability to:

correctly set up and use electronic monitoring systems for glue lines, gatherers and folders for TWO different jobs (preferably of different sizes and substrates), according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria

demonstrate an ability to retrieve information from the electronic system.

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 work health and safety factors for setting up and operating electronic monitoring systems

explain importance of distance between cartons on the machine for production and for the operation of the electronic monitoring system, as well as checking the ejector (or marker) for correct operation

explain different carton types and substrates, and the effect on the amount and position of glue required for different carton types

describe the result of too much or too little glue, and explain the correction process

describe the result of an incorrectly positioned glue line and explain the process to adjust the position with respect to the length of the glue flap

determine what machine faults are registered on the EMS

list parts of the folding/gluing system that cause the monitoring system to reject product

list ways of ensuring the EMS is ejecting/marking only faulty cartons

identify parts of the machine to adjust if reject cartons are not correctly identified and culled

list faults likely to trigger the signature or sheet monitoring system

identify the cause of common faults and how can they be avoided and corrected

explain quality principles behind the use of electronic monitoring

explain work procedures to implement to minimise faults

identify production records to be kept or written up, and the information to be included

list steps to ensure important features of the EMS are followed

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 facilities, equipment and materials used with electronic monitoring systems.

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.

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.
