Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit requires the individual to set up a machine to cut and add patches during the manufacture of envelopes.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a machine to cut and add patches during the manufacture of envelopes.

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:

set up the window cutting and patching units and produce a clean window cut with correct gum position, even level of patch size and position according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

for valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time to indicate consistent performance in setting up the manufacturing process

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

envelope manufacturing equipment with window cutting and patching units.

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.

Submission 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.

Required skills

OHS when making the work area safe and preparing for production according to safety requirements

communication skills when reporting any machine faults to the appropriate person

planning and organising when checking the measurement settings against the job specifications before production is commenced

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

using technology when operating an envelope manufacturing machine

problem solving when adjusting machine settings in order to maintain quality standards

Required knowledge

enterprise documentation procedures

enterprise quality standards

enterprise faults procedures

principles of envelope manufacture and setting window cutting and patching units

common faults associated with window cutting and patching

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

uncoated

pre-printed.

Settings may include:

paper tension

paper thickness

coated

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
