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

correctly set up machines for complex collating or inserting according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

Set up machines for complex collating at LEAST four or five products including inline processes on FOUR occasions if possible TWO sheet jobs each using different sizes and weights of substrate and TWO section jobs with and without liplap according to manufacturers and job specifications enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

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

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 for example this unit may be assessed at the same time as

ICPSUC Prepare load and unload reels and cores on and off machine

ICPSU201C Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine

ICPSUC Prepare load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSU202C Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSUC Prepare machine for operation basic

ICPSU207C Prepare machine for operation (basic)

ICPCFC Produce complex converted or finished product

ICPCF320C Produce complex converted or finished product.

Depending on the configuration of equipment and types of jobs the following units may also be assessed at the same time

ICPCFC Set up machine for cutting trimming

ICPCF223C Set up machine for cutting (trimming)

ICPCFC Set up machine for basic adhesive mechanical or thermal fastening

ICPCF261C Set up machine for basic adhesive, mechanical or thermal fastening

ICPCFC Set up machine for complex adhesive mechanical or sewn fastening

ICPCF361C Set up machine for complex adhesive, mechanical or sewn fastening.


Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Substrate handling may include:

wide or narrow reel or large or small sheet handling systems.

Collating process may include:

collating/inserting of sheets or book sections, or reels (may include tabs, crimping) of varied form, weight or shape.

In-line processes may include:

minor processes that are integral to this competency can include basic in-line operations such as perforating, numbering, date coding, slitting that do not in themselves constitute another defined unit of competency. Where a major in-line process is defined as a separate competency (eg flat-bed cutting, folding) it should be assessed as such.

Collating units may include:

a range of machines with manual, semi-automated, fully automated or computerised process control.

Substrate types may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, plastics and related films, or metal.
