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 | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. Identify and analyse causes of systems and quality faults | 1.1. Identify and analyse system or quality faults in dry end operations in accordance with production requirements, relevant workplace health and safety (WHS) procedures, risks and hazards identification and environmental workplace procedures. 1.2. Interpret alarm systems and observations to determine faults and location. 1.3. Identify faults through routine physical inspections of plant, processes and equipment. 1.4. Interpret sampling and results to identify variations from operating procedures 1.5. Use appropriate techniques to identify and locate cause and source of the problem. 1.6. Access and analyse relevant data, as required to assist analysis. 1.7. Communicate information to relevant personnel. |
2. Rectify system and equipment faults | 2.1. Initiate, prior to fault rectification, emergency stop or shutdown, and isolation procedures. 2.2. Isolate, repair or replace faulty equipment and undertake appropriate adjustments and rectification. 2.3. Implement corrective operational adjustments and maintenance requirements. 2.4. Restore normal operations and communicate to relevant personnel. |
3. Rectify product quality faults | 3.1. Identify by observation, inspection and testing, product quality faults or variations. 3.2. Undertake sampling and conduct tests for product faults or variations. 3.3. Interpret test results and adjust processes to correct variations from specifications. |
4. Record and report process performance and product quality data | 4.1. Identify recording and reporting workplace requirements for process performance and product quality data. 4.2. Document variations from specification and performance. 4.3. Deal with out of specification product according to standard operating procedures (SOP). 4.3. Record corrective action undertaken, as required. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must be able to provide evidence that they can:
analyse and rectify dry end systems at least twice in line with required enterprise intervals, in the pulp and paper industry by:
selecting and using appropriate trouble shooting skills in dry end processes
identifying and rectifying faults in plant, equipment and product quality, relevant to dry end processes
using and interpreting electronic control systems, including Digital Control System (DCS), touch screens or robotics to control equipment and processes as required during processing
communicating effectively and working safely with others, in the work area when rectifying dry end systems.
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
documentation and workplace procedures relevant to troubleshooting and rectifying dry end systems in the pulp and paper industry and including:

quality procedures
environmental sustainability requirements/practices
machinery and plant manufacturing operating manuals
enterprise policies and procedures
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
oil or chemical spills and disposal guidelines
plant isolation and safe work documentation which includes Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), risks and hazard identification and housekeeping
maintenance logs, job sheets and production instructions
dry end plant processes and associated services sufficient to troubleshoot including:
plant layout
principles of operation
causes and effects of adjustments made to dry end systems
relationships between dry end systems and associated services
troubleshooting methods applicable to the operation of dry end systems
sampling and testing for plant and system operations, and process monitoring - purpose, standards and procedures as per site agreements
cause and effect of unplanned shutdown and appropriate responses
mill maintenance system as it applies to dry end plant and processes
electronic and other control systems, operation and application to make appropriate adjustments that control dry end systems.
The following resources must be made available:
access to the full range of tools and equipment involved in integrated continuous manufacturing of dry end operations in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility
electronic control systems including Digital Control System (DCS), touch screens or robotics
materials used in dry end processes including chemicals, compressed air, water, electricity, gas, steam, additives, machine clothing and ropes and belts
personal protective equipment required for trouble shooting and rectifying dry end operations
sample workplace documentation on work health and safety (WHS) procedures, risks and hazards identification procedures, environmental and safe working requirements/practices, SOP and housekeeping requirements
relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or in a productive environment that accurately reflects performance in a workplace.
Assessor requirements
Assessors must:
hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and
be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
be able to demonstrate how they are continuing to develop their VET knowledge and skills as well as maintaining their industry currency and assessor competence.
