Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan and prepare
   • Activities are carried out according to OHS and organisation requirements
   • Work instructions, including relevant inspection reports and forms and quality requirements are obtained, confirmed with appropriate personnel and applied
   • Tools and equipment selected to carry out tasks are consistent with job requirements, checked for serviceability and any faults are rectified or reported prior to commencement
   • Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use
2. Adjust and maintain treatment solutions
   • Treatment solution specification and tolerances are identified and confirmed from the approved operating procedure or equivalent
   • Location of each sample source is identified from plant schematics and the sampling and testing schedule is identified and correctly interpreted
   • Sampling and labelling is carried out in accordance with approved procedure
   • Samples are tested in accordance with the approved procedure and the results recorded to organisation standards
3. Adjust and maintain stage operations
   • Operating processes, control mechanisms, flow and specifications of each treatment stage are identified and confirmed from organisation plant specifications and procedures
   • Stage plant components are inspected and prepared for operation, including pre operational servicing, in accordance with the organisation procedures
   • Stage operations are test run and adjustments are made to controls, components and solutions to bring the stage to the correct operating specification
   • Operations are monitored for compliance with specification in accordance with approved procedures
   • Faults in stage operations are diagnosed and rectified or reported for specialist support action
   • Excess, contaminated or unwanted materials, including chemicals and solutions are disposed of in accordance with organisation requirements
   • Documentation covering the operation of each stage, including fault resolution, is completed in accordance with organisation requirements
4. Maintain product quality
   • Product quality checks are carried out in accordance with organisation work quality goals
   • Defects are analysed and the likely cause is identified and investigated
   • Actions to restore the product quality are implemented, checked and confirmed in accordance with organisation procedures
   • Defects which cannot be remedied are reported for specialist attention
   • Documentation covering each defect and response is completed in accordance with organisation requirements
5. Clean up
   • Work area is cleared and materials disposed of, reused or recycled in accordance with organisation requirements
   • Tools and equipment are cleaned, checked, maintained and stored in accordance with organisation requirements

Required Skills

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Required skills

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria Required Skills and Knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential location interpretation and application of relevant information standards and specifications compliance with organisation safety policies and procedures and OHS legislationregulationscodes of practice applicable to operations compliance with organisation policies and procedures including quality requirements safe and effective operational use of tools and equipment communication and working effectively and safely with others individually monitor and maintain a multistage metals treatment plant over full shifts during which prestart checks on all stages are to be completed to organisation requirements solutions are to be maintained to specifications using approved sampling testing and remedial processes plant operations are to be maintained to specification product quality is to be maintained to specification rectification of at least three different treatment related metal product faults including all organisation documentation and reporting requirements Some simulation may be required to ensure adequate scope
Context of and specific resources for assessment	assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using toolsequipmentmachinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices safety requirements and environmental constraints
Method of assessment	A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts together with application of underpinning knowledge assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application assessment may be applied under project related conditions real or simulated and require evidence of process assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance but is able to be transferred to other circumstances
