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

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

Evidence of the following is essential:

Correctly set up machine for basic fastening according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

Demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources

Demonstrate all safety devices on the machine

Set up machine on TWO occasions for adhesive OR mechanical OR thermal fastening, using different weights and sizes of substrate according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

Demonstrate use of computerised control, monitoring and data entry systems if available and appropriate.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these.

Assessment off the job must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment.

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:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICPSU201C Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine

ICPSU202C Prepare, load and unload product on and off machine

ICPSU207C Prepare machine for operation (basic)

ICPCF220C Produce basic converted or finished product.

Depending on the configuration of equipment and types of jobs, virtually any other converting, binding and finishing set up unit can be assessed at the same time.


Submission Requirements

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

OHS in relation to operating machinery

communication skills when organising a laboratory test if required and reading and interpreting job specifications

planning and organising when conducting a sample run

teamwork by giving assistance with setting up in-line units

using technology by setting up and adjusting the fastening system according to job specifications

problem-solving by interpreting sample results to determine adjustment requirements

Required knowledge

information concerning binding requirements that would you expect to find in the job documentation or production control system

information interpretation to ensure smooth workflow throughout the factory

elements that must be considered when planning a binding sample

OHS areas that must be addressed when setting up these areas of the machine

webbing procedures commonly used in the transportation area

areas to consider when setting up the web control system

problem areas likely to be encountered when setting up the sheeter

OHS factors that must be considered when setting up the delivery systems

special delivery problems that are associated with adhesive machines

overcoming these problems

checks needed when using the delivery systems present on the various machines

ways in which the completed work can be secured for dispatch

OHS areas that must be addressed when setting up the machine

OHS safeguards that are necessary with hot melt adhesives

correct binding technique for a job

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.

Substrate handling may include:

wide or narrow reel or large or small sheet handling systems.

Fastening processes may include:

adhesive fastening such as cold and hot melt gluing, taping

mechanical fastening such as riveting, string and wire stitching, and wire binding

thermal fastening such as high frequency and head welding.

In-line processes may include:

minor processes that are integral to this competency can include basic in-line operations such as perforating, numbering, date coding, slitting that do not in themselves constitute another defined unit of competency. Where a major in-line process is defined as a separate competency (eg flat-bed cutting, folding) it should be assessed as such.

Fastening units may include:

a range of machines with manual, semi-automated, fully automated or computerised process control.

Complexity may include:

basic refers to simple hand-fed or single-head adhesive and thermal machines, single-head mechanical machines.

Substrate types may include:

range of substrates within the major categories of paper, pressure sensitive material, board, corrugated board, plastics and related films, or metal.

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.
