Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Create exploded assembly drawings
  2. Create job sheets
  3. Convert drawings for CNC applications

Range Statement

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Unit context includes:

WHS requirements, including legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes, and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual, analytical and organisational ability, judgement and problem-solving applied under broad guidance within routine and non-routine situations

work involves enterprise and client-initiated ideas or requests

Preparing complex drawings includes:

identification, selection and use of computer-aided techniques and capabilities, including three-dimensional modelling, exploded assembly drawings and conversion of drawings for CNC applications

researching software trends and developments

generating and presenting ideas

liaising with client and/or other functional areas

compiling information

Personal protective equipment includes:

that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures include:

customer requirements

work specifications

product catalogues and style manuals or equivalent

inventory systems and records

organisation work procedures and sequencing arrangements

legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to the product

quality and Australian Standards and procedures


Performance Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

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

Create a minimum of two (2) exploded assembly drawings, including:

preparation of three-dimensional models

creation of perspective views

exploding the models to expose all components

labelling of all components

management and storage of drawings

Create a minimum of two (2) confirmed job sheets which have the necessary orthographic views and all required management and inventory information

Convert a minimum of two (2) drawings for CNC application, including the creation of layers, assignment of drawing entities and the protection and storage of converted files

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

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

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