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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.
Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise out of specification products, process problems and materials faults.
Knowledge of organization procedures, quality requirements at each stage of production and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.
Application of the knowledge of managing risks using the hierarchy of controls applied to compound materials using and open mill blender. Application of approved hazard control and safety procedures and the use of PPE in relation to handling materials, equipment operation and cleanup.
Knowledge as a basis for solving processing and material problems including:
the function of the tyre building equipment and machine components
the terms radial force, inflation pressure, lateral force, internal force harmonics and concentricity
different components used in the building process, eg steel belts, treads
the function of different components, especially different tread compounds
range of products made using this method
reasons for differences in types and number of components used in different products
monitor equipment operation and product quality
material properties and their interactions with process conditions
relationships between material properties and process conditions
changes to material properties to better suit process requirements
product problems related to material properties
product problems related to process conditions
adjustments to process conditions to meet material and product requirements.
Competence also includes the ability to:
plan own work, including predicting consequences and identifying improvements
identify when the operator is able to rectify faults, when assistance is required and who is the appropriate source for assistance
identify and describe own role and role of others involved directly in the tyre building process
identify factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies
pause or shut down equipment in abnormal circumstances
explain the effect of unauthorised or emergency shutdown in relation to safety and production requirements.
Language, literacy and numeracy requirements
This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications, job sheets, procedures, material labels and safety information as provided to operators.
Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms.
Basic numeracy is required, eg to determine that two 25 kg bags are needed to make up a requirement for 50 kg.
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any 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.
Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.
Context
This competency unit covers the use of second stage type building machines. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the tyre building process.
Procedures
All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.
Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.
Tools and equipment
This competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:
hand tools as required
knives for bias cutting different component layers
relevant personal protective equipment.
Hazards
Typical hazards include:
manual handling
cut hazards
fumes/vapours
noise, light, energy sources
humidity, air temperatures, radiant heat
stationary and moving machinery, parts and components.
Problems
'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/a solution recorded in the procedures.
Typical process and product problems may include:
equipment
poorly aligned guides
mould incorrectly placed on machine
materials
contaminated materials
distorted/misshaped components
poor adhesion
process
rotation speed
temperature
product
protecting from contamination
protecting from damage.
Appropriate action for problems outside of area of responsibility may be reporting to an appropriate person.
Appropriate action for solving problems within area of responsibility includes asking questions and seeking assistance from appropriate persons/sources.
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.
