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.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Identify production requirements | 1.1 | Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work |
1.2 | The item to be produced is identified from a work order |
1.3 | Production requirements are identified from specifications, an existing item or from drawings, patterns and/or templates |
2 | Design jig | 2.1 | Design of proposed jig or fixture is produced |
2.2 | Production process incorporating jig is planned |
2.3 | Materials to be used to construct jig are selected |
3 | Construct jig | 3.1 | Appropriate tools and equipment are selected |
3.2 | Jig is constructed in accordance with design and within tolerances |
4 | Test jig | 4.1 | Jig is used to produce prototype to ascertain its adherence to set tolerances and to assess its match to original design |
4.2 | Jig is adjusted, as required, to meet the requirements |
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
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
Produce a minimum of two (2) jigs required to create complex fine furnishing items, including a moving jig
Produce a fixture in accordance with acceptable industry tolerances
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures
Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
Machine technical specifications, including the acceptable criteria for related jigs
Impact of design changes on jig construction
Characteristics, uses and limitations of materials used for jig/fixture construction
Jig and fixture design, construction and testing techniques
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to item specifications, design support facilities, jig construction materials, machinery, equipment and hand tools appropriate to the jigs to be produced.
