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, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Assessment must be carried out in a manner that recognises the cultural and literacy requirements of the assessee and is appropriate to the work performed.

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

Evidence of ability to:

identify milling requirements

collect and position materials according to job and equipment requirements

safely set up, operate and shut down equipment

monitor and adjust process and equipment during operation to stay within specification

confirm that components meet specification

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must occur in a real or simulated workplace where the assessee has access to:

Mill and equipment

Relevant measuring instrumentation

Materials to be milled

Drawings, templates and specifications as required

Operating procedures and related advice on equipment/instrumentation operation

Personal protective clothing and equipment

Housekeeping standards and procedures

Method of assessment

Other units of competency relevant to the work role should be assessed in conjunction with this unit.

Guidance information for assessment

To ensure consistency in one's performance, competency should be demonstrated on more than one occasion over a period of time in order to cover a variety of circumstances, cases and responsibilities, and where possible, over a number of assessment activities.

Submission Requirements

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

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.

Required skills include:

Ability to:

identify milling requirements - this may require interpretation of technical drawings or sketches

select, fit and use personal protective clothing and/or equipment

confirm status of equipment, that safety guards are in place, equipment is fit for operation and required services are available

collect and position materials according to job and equipment requirements

set up, operate and shut down equipment according to workplace procedures to meet job specification

monitor and adjust process and equipment during operation to stay within specification

confirm that components meet specification - this may involve the use of measuring instruments

maintain work area to meet housekeeping standards

Required knowledge includes:

Knowledge of:

relevant state OHS legislation, standards and codes of practice relating to work responsibilities

relevant site operating procedures and practices

purpose and basic operating principles of milling equipment and accessories including awareness of equipment operating capacities

care, maintenance and storage of tool parts and accessories

scope to adjust machining parameters and related effect on outcome

the impact of machining parameters and materials used on tool life

safe work procedures including awareness of health and safety hazards related to the operation of the mill and related equipment

housekeeping standards for the work area

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.

Policies and procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with company policies and procedures, licensing requirements, manufacturer's recommendations, legislative requirements, codes of practice and industrial awards and agreements.

Codes of practice

Codes of practice include the Sugar Milling Operations Industry Code of Practice.

Milling operations

This unit does not cover set up of dividing heads. Work is undertaken to pre-determined specifications.

Mills are not CNC (Computer Numerical Control).

Typical operations include slotting and cutting flats.

Machining parameters

Machining parameters are typically given and include

speeds

feeds

stops

coolant

cutting lubricants.

Measuring instrumentation

Measuring instrumentation may include

callipers

dividers

verniers and

micrometers

rulers.

Pre-operational checks

Pre-operational checks may include

confirming that safety guards are in place

equipment is operational

other pre-start checks as required by workplace procedure.

Basic routine maintenance

Basic routine maintenance includes cleaning and lubrication.

Teamwork

Work may require the ability to work within a team environment.

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.
