Run and monitor envelope manufacturing machines

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit requires the individual to monitor and run envelope manufacturing machines involving known routines and procedures with some accountability for the quality of outcomes.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to run and monitor envelope manufacturing machines.

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:

maintain the throughput of envelope manufacturing machines consistently over a period of time

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

for valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of theses

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

access to machinery used to produce envelopes.

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

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 such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication skills when checking and confirming all details required for the job against job specifications

planning and organising by correctly disposing of waste during the production process

teamwork when maintaining the production process by working in association with others

using technology by running and monitoring envelope making machines

problem solving by selecting and checking a sample from the machine to ensure it conforms to the required quality standards

Required knowledge

common faults associated with envelope manufacturing machines, what causes them and how to correct them

enterprise documentation procedures

enterprise quality standards

enterprise faults procedures

fault finding and correction documentation

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.

Job specifications may include:

job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.

Correct materials may include:

glues, papers, coated and uncoated, pre-printed.

Settings may include:

paper tension, paper thickness, coated and non-coated materials, glue drying times, wastage allowance, substrate.

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications
