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.
Critical Aspects of Evidence
Read and interpret cutting lists and job specifications to prepare for work
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Apply at least five different conversion techniques/operations covering the:
preparation of cutting plans to minimise waste
selection of the correct materials
application of conversion techniques including at least one surfaced board requiring the use of a scoring saw
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment
Resource Implications
Access to conversion machinery as identified in the Range Statement, standard operating procedures, and unprocessed materials.
Method of Assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
Context of Assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Submission Requirements
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

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
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, manufactured board conversion techniques, machine operations, plans and safety procedures
communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate conversion problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage
use the workplace technology related to conversion, including tools, equipment and measuring devices
Required knowledge
types, characteristics, uses and limitations of manufactured board
the range, characteristics, uses and limitations of panel-saw, scoring saw, NC beam saw and wall saw
general workplace quality standards and procedures
procedures for reporting machinery faults and material defects
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.
Products of conversion techniques are to include:
end panels
shelving
bench tops
backs
bottoms
doors and fixing rails
Machines
Machines are to include panel saw and scoring saw and may include NC beam saw and wall saw
Unit context
OH&S requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements
Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set-up, operation and maintenance of machines
Competency may be demonstrated in workplaces involved in the production of manufactured board domestic furniture, commercial furniture, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and/or components
Tools and equipment are to include but are not limited to:
measuring devices
machine associated tools
materials handling equipment/lifting devices
Manufactured board may include:
raw board
melamine surfaces
veneered board
plywood and hard board
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices
Information and procedures
Workplace procedures relating to the use of tools and equipment
Work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs
Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication
Manufacturers' specifications and operational procedures
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.
