Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Read and understand job sheets
   • Job sheets and instructions are understood and followed correctly.
2. Select assembly equipment and components
   • Assembly equipment is selected according to instructions or job sheets and used to standard operating procedures.
   • Components/sub-assemblies are obtained and arranged for assembly.
   • Equipment/tools are used in a safe manner.
3. Assemble components
   • Assembly is produced following correct sequence of operations, using selected equipment to standard operating procedures.
   • Production data is recorded/input to standard operating procedures.
4. Perform tests
   • Assembly is tested/checked for compliance to job sheet requirements, following standard operating procedures as required.
5. Protect assembly from damage
   • Components and/or assemblies are handled and stored safely, in a manner least likely to cause damage.

Required Skills

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in following job instructions and standard operating procedures selecting and using assembly tools components and subassemblies entering routine and familiar information onto proformas and other standard workplace forms following oral instruction

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of application and use of assembly tools and equipment sequence in which the assemblies are to be performed storage location of the componentsubassemblies required tests and checks required action for nonconformance potential damage through the use of inappropriate handling andor unsafe storage procedures use and application of personal protective equipment safe work practices and procedures hazards and control measures associated with manual production assembly

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	A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to assemble components andor subassemblies in a production environment and test the components andor subassemblies to ensure compliance with specifications
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with performing manual production assembly or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
Method of assessment	Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials

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.
Components/sub-assemblies	Parts that make up the sub-assembly and components
Recorded/input	By means of production schedules, job sheets, checklists
Tested/checked	Carried out according to specification of assembled product
