Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Set up electronic monitoring system
  2. Run job and monitor production
  3. Review production data

Required Skills

Required skills

OHS in relation to setting up and operating electronic monitoring systems

communication skills when recording information on production documents

planning and organising when positioning the monitor according to job type

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

using technology when setting up the electronic monitoring system

problem solving when identifying reasons for rejects during production

Required knowledge

OHS factors that need to be considered when setting up and operating electronic monitoring systems

importance of the distance between cartons on the machine t for production and for the operation of the electronic monitoring system

checking the ejector or marker for correct operation

different carton types and substrates and the affect on the amount and position of glue required

glue is requirements for different carton types

result of too much or too little glue

result of an incorrectly positioned glue line

process for fixing too much and too little glue

process for adjusting the position of the glue line with respect to the length of the glue flap

other machine faults that are registered on the EMS

other parts of the foldinggluing system that will cause monitoring system to reject product

ways of ensuring that the EMS is ejectingmarking only faulty cartons

parts of the machine that need to be adjusted if reject cartons are not correctly identified and culled

faults that are likely to trigger the signature or sheet monitoring system

cause of common faults and how can they be avoided and corrected

quality principles behind the use of electronic monitoring

work procedures that can be implemented to minimise faults

production records that need to be kept or written up

information that should be included in this reporting procedure

steps that should be taken to ensure that important features of the production control system are followed

machine manuals safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where they are kept and information that is included in these documents

other sources of information that are available

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 use electronic monitoring systems for glue lines gatherers and folders according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

set up electronic monitoring systems for TWO different jobs preferably of different sizes and substrates according to manufacturers and job specifications enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

demonstrate an ability to retrieve information from the electronic system

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

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.

Machines may include:

folder/gluers, gatherers and other relevant converting and finishing machines.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

Monitoring systems may include:

electronic glue line monitoring systems (EMS) and monitoring systems for gatherers and folders that identify incorrect sheets or signatures. Systems may eject or mark faulty product (mainly in carton sector) or shut down production (mainly in binding and finishing).

Substrate types may include:

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

Degree of autonomy may include:

working under limited supervision.
