Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to work orders manufactured board conversion techniques machine operations plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with site supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area and estimate material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate conversion problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the workplace technology related to conversion including tools equipment and measuring devices

Required knowledge

types characteristics uses and limitations of manufactured board

the range characteristics uses and limitations of panelsaw scoring saw NC beam saw and wall saw

general workplace quality standards and procedures

workplace guidelines regarding acceptable tolerance levels

workplace safety policies and procedures

procedures for reporting machinery faults and material defects

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

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Read and interpret cutting lists and job specifications to prepare for work

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Identify materials used in the work process

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection processes to

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Apply at least five different conversion techniquesoperations covering the

preparation of cutting plans to minimise waste

selection of the correct materials

application of conversion techniques including at least one surfaced board requiring the use of a scoring saw

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

Resource Implications

Access to conversion machinery as identified in the Range Statement standard operating procedures and unprocessed materials

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Products of conversion techniques are to include:

Machines

Unit context

Tools and equipment are to include but are not limited to:

Manufactured board may include:

Personal protective equipment
