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. Monitor production process | 1.1 All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications 1.2 Supply of materials throughout run is maintained 1.3 Machine is run at optimum speed for maintaining quality outputs 1.4 Samples from the machine are selected and checked to ensure they conform to job specifications 1.5 Machines are adjusted to maintain quality of outputs |
2. Maintain quality | 2.1 Correct procedures for removal of waste are followed according to enterprise procedures 2.2 Samples are continuously monitored for defects, and defects are removed 2.3 Efficiency, quality and output rate of production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved 2.4 Milled cavities are checked to ensure right cavity depth for the chips 2.5 Die cuts are correct and meet quality standards 2.6 Correct amount of glue is applied by the dispensing station 2.7 Chips are correctly inserted into the cavity by the implanting module 2.8 Print quality meets standards in the job specifications or sample |
3. Code and check chips | 3.1 Encoder settings are correct and conform to job specifications 3.2 Tester settings are correct and conform to job specifications 3.3 Details of any cards needing to be remade are entered into computer console |
4. Monitor printer unit | 4.1 Ink and solvent levels are monitored and filled when required and stock levels are recorded according to enterprise procedures 4.2 Quality of inkjet is monitored to ensure it conforms to job specifications 4.3 Chemicals are handled according to work health and safety (WHS) requirements 4.4 Drying is checked as sufficient to key ink to the substrate |
5. Identify problems | 5.1 Faults that affect quality of the cards are identified and rectified 5.2 Problems that reduce rate of output are identified and fixed 5.3 Faults that affect efficient operation of equipment are identified and deleted |
6. Unload and pack cards | 6.1 Cards are unloaded according to WHS requirements, manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 6.2 Reconciliation and final quality check are documented 6.3 Cards are prepared (stacked, wrapped and labelled) for next process according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 6.4 Wastage is recorded and disposed of according to enterprise procedures |
7. Shut down machine | 7.1 Dispensing needle is moved to the safety position and solvent is checked to ensure needle coverage 7.2 Inkjet is cleaned and shutdown according to manufacturer’s specifications 7.3 Encoding computer is shut down correctly to ensure no loss of data 7.4 Milling vacuum is emptied and cleaned 7.5 Machine and work area are cleaned according to enterprise procedures 7.6 Air supply is turned off 7.7 Waste chemicals are handled and disposed of according to WHS requirements |
Evidence of the ability to:
operate a smart card machine and produce cards for TWO different jobs according to job specifications and within the production timeframe
demonstrate all safety devices on the smart card printing and encoding machine.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of the ability to:
describe operation of the card printing unit
describe operation of the card encoding unit
identify production quality requirements
describe waste disposal procedures
describe correct material handling procedures
list principles of printing and ink usage.
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:
smart card printing and encoding machine
special purpose tools, equipment and materials.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
