Required Skills

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started communication skills when reading and interpreting job requirements from job documentation or production control system planning and organising by setting up the carton blank transportation system before the carton delivery system teamwork when maintaining production processes in association with colleagues using technology by using carton folding and gluing machines problem solving by interpreting results to determine adjustment requirements

Required knowledge

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Evidence of the following is essential produce a range of complex cartons as required in normal production on a Royal a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources produce THREE crashlock sixcorner and specialty work carton jobs with different sizes and weights of carton board and including use of multiple gluing units according to manufacturers and job specifications enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Assessment must ensure assessment may take place on the job off the job or a combination of these off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
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 direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended
