Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit requires the individual to set up a machine for basic collating, gathering or inserting of sheets or sections and is appropriate for binding and finishing operations, mail houses and newspapers

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a machine for basic collating, gathering or inserting of sheets or sections.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

Correctly set up machines for basic collating or inserting according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

Demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

Demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

Set up a collating or inserting machine for basic collating or inserting for TWO different jobs (if possible ONE sheet and ONE section) involving at LEAST FOUR or FIVE products, according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

Demonstrate computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems if available and appropriate.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these

Assessment off the job must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICPCF220C Produce basic converted or finished product

ICPSU202C Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSU207C Prepare machine for operation (basic).

Depending on the configuration of equipment and types of jobs, the following units may also be assessed at the same time:

ICPCF223C Set up machine for cutting (trimming)

ICPCF261C Set up machine for basic adhesive, mechanical or thermal fastening

ICPCF320C Produce complex converted or finished product

ICPCF361C Set up machine for complex adhesive, mechanical or sewn fastening.

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.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery

communication skills when monitoring and verifying performance using process control systems and reading and interpreting job specifications

planning and organising when setting up the sheet/section delivery system according to job specifications

teamwork when conducting the shutdown with fellow workers

using technology by using the double/misfeed sheet calliper system

identifying problems and faults and developing solutions, for example interpreting the results of tests and determining adjustment requirements

Required knowledge

important information concerning collating that will be included in the job documentation or production control system

OHS factors that need to be considered when setting up sheet/section transportation and delivery systems

important factors to consider when setting up the feeder

the setting up of the double/misfeed sheet calliper system

considerations needed to ensure smooth transportation and delivery of the sheets or sections through the machine

the names of the different types of sheet/section delivery systems

the largest and smallest sheet or section size that can be run through this machine

areas of the machine that should be adjusted to allow for 42 gsm stock

the major OHS factors to consider when running this machine

factors that govern the speed at which the machine can operate

indicator that the machine was in need of lubrication

OHS factors that need to be considered before readjusting the machine

an acceptable collating result

the cause of sheets creasing in the machine delivery

adjustment that should be made to the machine to alleviate "bruising" of NCR paper

circumstances that the machine would need to be adjusted

machine manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task, where they are kept and information that is included in these documents

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Collating/inserting process may include:

collating/inserting of sheets, book sections or other products of identical or varied form, weight, shape.

Substrate types may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, corrugated board, plastics and related films, or metal.

Substrate handling may include:

large or small sheet/sections.

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.
