Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Maintain delivery system
  2. Maintain production process
  3. Identify and rectify problems and faults
  4. Conduct shutdown of production process
  5. Clean folding (single/ continuous) machine at end of run

Range Statement

This section specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Delivery systems MUST could include EITHER:

reel

OR

sheet.

Monitoring and adjusting MUST include EITHER:

reel stand

web control systems

OR

feeder and delivery systems

sheet pick-up and transport systems

transfer systems.


Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

complete TWO jobs (if possible, using different sizes and weights of substrate) with:

a single fold to run continuously,

OR

a single quire fold on a sheet gather/stitch/fold/trim machine,

OR

an automatic web-fed machine to achieve a single fold,according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria

demonstrate use of computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems if available and appropriate.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.


Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

All Systems

identify work health and safety factors for:

setting up and/or operating machine transport systems

setting up and/or operating machine delivery systems

using the folding machine

adjusting/correcting the machine

cleaning the machine

list checks to make when substrate is removed from the machine

list areas of the in-line process to monitor to ensure product quality

determine causes of out-of-square folding and explain how each can be corrected

determine segments of quality assurance inspected at sample run completion as well as in a completed folded job

explain communication to instigate if the:

job is out-of-square

ink is too wet for production

job does not coincide with the sample

identify important tasks to correctly shut down the machine

explain requirements to prepare finished work for dispatch

identify areas of the machine to clean regularly and materials to clean from the machine

explain requirements to keep the machine clear of surface rust (condensation)

determine production alterations needed to meet client requirements

identify machine manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task, where they are kept, and the information included in them

Reel Systems Only

identify areas of the reel stand to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation

list part(s) of the machine to adjust if the sheet is creasing

Sheet Systems Only

identify areas of the sheet-fed feeder to monitor to ensure trouble-free operation.
