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
Interpret work order/job instruction and locate and apply relevant information to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment
Plan the conduct of insulated glass unit manufacturing operations
Set up, operate and monitor insulated glass unit (IGU) manufacturing equipment and the quality testing of IGU
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
As a minimum, demonstrate the ability to prepare, set up, manufacture and conduct the appropriate quality testing of five differing IGU patterns to the capacity of the IGU machine
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment, workplace operating procedures, unprocessed materials, personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area.
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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
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
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures
communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area 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 work requirements, optimise glass sizes for handling and processing and assemble required materials
use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage
use the workplace technology related to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment
Required knowledge
procedures for the set up, operation and operator maintenance of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment
workflow relating to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment
characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced in the insulated glass unit manufacturing process
workplace procedures for the reporting of material, product or equipment faults
workplace safety system requirements related to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment
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.
Unit context
This unit covers work involving the set up, operation and monitoring of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment, including quality testing of IGU
Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of insulating glass unit manufacturing machines
Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements
OH&S requirements may include legislation, standards, building codes, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures
Work is generally performed individually, with general supervision and may be part of a production process
