Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Cut blanks to size
  • Materials list is read and interpreted, and the correct material for the job selected in accordance with organisation requirements
  • Materials are cleaned to remove surface impurities
  • Cutting equipment is set and adjusted to specifications to minimize waste
  • Blanks are cut to specification using appropriate tools and cutting equipment
  • Blanks are sorted and recorded for identified press production purposes
  • Blanks are stacked in/on the appropriate containers/pallets for transportation
       
Element: Fabricate formed parts
  • Materials list is read and interpreted to select and load blanks
  • Specified amount of the correct lubricant is applied to the blank
  • Waste is minimised by aligning the blank to specified press points on the die bed
  • Formed parts are pressed to specification using the appropriate press equipment
  • Formed parts are unloaded from press equipment and checked for specification and quality
  • Faulty parts are marked and recorded according to organisation procedures
  • Workflow and production schedule are recorded and maintained
       
Element: Maintain/changeover dies
  • Die surfaces are steam cleaned and inspected for defects and conformity
  • Damaged dies are marked for repair or disposal and appropriate personnel notified
  • Undamaged dies are coated/covered to protect their surfaces and stored in designated areas
  • Dies are pre-built on outside bolsters fitted to organisation specifications
  • Die is removed/fitted in the sequence shown in the press set up specifications and aligned
  • Press is tested by producing part samples which are checked against specification
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant legislative, regulations, standards, codes of practice and establish safe practices and enterprise policies and procedures for managing personal work priorities

maintaining a working knowledge of current work systems and practices

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

achieving production goals

achieving work quality goals

responding positively to changing work requirements

contributing effectively to cost reduction initiatives

effectively applying problem solving techniques

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

use cutting equipment safely and efficiently to produce blanks with minimum waste

produce formed parts to meet the production schedule

limit the number of faulty parts to less than quality standards

produce work flow records

identify and mark faulty parts

maintain dies in effective condition

identify and deal with faulty dies

apply company OH&S policy and procedures.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.


Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

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

Required skills

speak clearly and directly in order to inform appropriate personnel of damaged dies

apply teamwork to a range of situations, including the transportation of blanks

solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators

show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas

access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to ensure appropriate materials are selected for the job

manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities

take responsibility for organising own work priorities.

Required knowledge

relevant Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental regulations and enterprise policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment. The specific regulations will vary according to the area of operation

organisation technical work documentation covering procedures, specifications, schedules and work plans or equivalent

organisation quality system documentation covering instructions, procedures, performance indicators and review processes or equivalent

organisation cost minimisation/waste avoidance policies, procedures and practices

environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material

established communication channels and protocols

problem identification and resolution techniques

types of cutting equipment and application

procedures for the safe and efficient production of blanks with minimum waste

organisation production schedules

quality standards and faulty parts

company of work flow records - written / electronic

identification of faulty parts

maintenance procedures for dies

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. 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.

Blanks may be cut by::

hitch

roller feed

guillotine.

Transportation may include:

use of cranes

hoists

tow motors

trolleys.

Steam cleaned may include the use of:

solvent

washes

team members.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
