Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Maintain delivery systems
  2. Maintain production process
  3. Identify and rectify problems and faults
  4. Conduct shutdown of production process
  5. Clean collating or inserting (sheet/section/reel) 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 include EITHER:

reel transportation

OR

sheet transportation.

Monitoring and adjusting MUST include EITHER:

cleaning collating or inserting (sheet/section/reel) machine

web control system

OR

feeder

sheet pick-up and transportation system

transfer system.


Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

operate machines for complex collating for a minimum of FOUR products, including in-line processes on FOUR occasions, (if possible) including:

two sheet jobs, each using different sizes and weights of substrate

two section jobs, with and without lip/lap, to produce a complex collated products according to manufacturer’s and job specifications, enterprise procedures and listed performance criteria.

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:

identify work health and safety (WHS) factors for:

when the machine is operating

before readjusting the machine

when cleaning materials from the machine

explain factors that govern speed the machine operates at

determine indicators that show the machine needs lubrication

identify when the machine needs adjustment

list areas to check when sections are failing to open on the chain

list checks to do when correctly shutting down the machine

determine areas of the machine that need regular cleaning and list recommended cleaning agents

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

determine production records to be kept or written up, and the information to include

list steps to ensure important features of the production control system are followed

determine requirements for an acceptable collating result

explain the cause of sheets creasing in the machine delivery

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

For Sheet Systems Only

explain causes of sheets misfeeding during production and how to correct creasing of sheets and prevent double sheet feeds

determine adjustment to make to prevent bruising of no carbon required sheets.
