Required Skills

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Application of knowledge of the materials equipment and process sufficient to recognise material and equipment conditions which may lead to out of specification production

Knowledge of and the ability to implement organization procedures quality requirements at each production stage and relevant regulatory within appropriate time constraints and work standards

Application of the knowledge of managing risks using the hierarchy of controls applied to the resin transfer moulding process Application of approved hazard control and safety procedures and the use of PPE in relation to handling materials equipment operation and cleanup

Knowledge and ability to identify the range of possible causes of product faults and

take appropriate action

Knowledge as a basis for solving process and material problems

function and operating principles of the tyre building equipment and machine components

different components used in the tyre building process eg tubeless liner first and second or third ply beadwire the function of different components and the reasons for differences in types and number of components used in different products

impact of machine speed temperature pressure time during cycles on product quality and production output

effect of unauthorised or emergency shutdown in relation to safety and production requirements

waste management and importance of nonconforming materials

material properties and their interactions with process conditions

relationships between material properties and process conditions

changes to polymer properties to better suit process requirements

product problems related to material properties

product problems related to process conditions

adjustments to process conditions to meet material and product requirements

Competence also includes the ability to

plan own work including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

maintain output and product quality using appropriate instruments controls test information and readings

identify and describe own role and role of others involved directly in the first stage tyre building process

identify factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

identify when assistance is required to solve problems

Language literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications job sheets material labels and machine control panels

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms and production reports

Basic numeracy is required eg to determine how many kg kg and kg bags are needed to make up a requirement for kg

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria required skills and knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package

Overview of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole as defined by the Elements Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit These may include the ability to

identify critical materials properties and first stage type building process variables in relation to the process requirements and the end product

make adjustments to the process as required

identify and take appropriate action on problems and potential problems

Consistent performance should be demonstrated For example look to see that

the process runs consistently and smoothly

all safety procedures are followed

Assessment method and context

Assessment will occur on an industrial first stage tyre building machine and will be undertaken in a worklike environment

Competence in this unit may be assessed

by using an appropriate industrial first stage tyre building machine requiring demonstration of startup operation and shut down procedures

in a situation allowing for the generation of evidence of the ability to respond to problems

by using a suitable simulation andor a range of case studiesscenarios

through a combination of these techniques

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practicalsimulation or similar assessment Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation A bank of case studiesscenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method Questioning may take place either in the workplace or in an adjacent quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom No other special resources are required

Access must be provided to appropriate learning andor assessment support when required Where applicable physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities

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. Add any 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.

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Context

This competency applies to first stage type building machines. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment where that equipment is integral to the first stage tyre building process.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.

Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards

Tools and equipment

This competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:

first stage tyre building machine

components of the first stage tyre building machine (eg drum, extruder)

hand tools as required

knives for bias cutting different component layers

relevant personal protective equipment.

Hazards

Typical hazards include:

manual handling hazards

cuts

noise, light, energy sources

humidity, air temperatures, radiant heat

stationary and moving machinery, parts and components.

Problems

'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution/s recorded in the procedures.

Typical process and product problems may include:

equipment malfunction

poorly aligned guides

mould incorrectly placed on machine

materials variations

contaminated materials

lack of adhesion

process variations

variations in rotation speed

variations in temperature

product distortion/damage.

Appropriate action for problems outside of area of responsibility may be reporting to an appropriate person.

Appropriate action for solving problems within area of responsibility includes asking questions and seeking assistance from appropriate persons/sources.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

speed

temperature

output rate

product integrity and general conformance to specification
