Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to work orders basic plans and safety procedures

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

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area 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 work requirements optimise glass sizes for handling and processing and assemble required materials

use prechecking and inspection techniques to plan work avoiding reworking and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment

Required knowledge

procedures for the set up operation and operator maintenance of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment

workflow relating to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment

characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced in the insulated glass unit manufacturing process

workplace procedures for the reporting of material product or equipment faults

workplace safety system requirements related to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment

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

Interpret work orderjob instruction and locate and apply relevant information to the operation of insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment

Plan the conduct of insulated glass unit manufacturing operations

Set up operate and monitor insulated glass unit IGU manufacturing equipment and the quality testing of IGU

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

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

As a minimum demonstrate the ability to prepare set up manufacture and conduct the appropriate quality testing of five differing IGU patterns to the capacity of the IGU machine

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Insulated glass unit manufacturing equipment workplace operating procedures unprocessed materials personal protective equipment and an appropriate work area

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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other relevant units of competency

Context of assessment

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

Unit context

Insulated glass units (IGU)

Tools and equipment are to include:

Materials are to include but are not limited to:

Personal protective equipment
