Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Set up profile cutting
  • All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications
  • The correct materials are checked and available for the job
  • Adhesives are appropriate for the substrate, the application process and the machine
  • Work area is made safe and ready for production according to safety requirements
  • Profile cutting unit including profile knives, and where appropriate, fly knives, is set up according to job specifications
  • Blades are checked for sharpness and fitted as necessary, with units calibrated according to job specifications
  • Settings are checked against job specifications before production is commenced
  • Machine is stepped to ensure the profile is in the correct position and paper tension is accurate
  • The envelope shape and size conforms to job specifications and cuts are clean and meet quality requirements
       
Element: Confirm the quality
  • A sample from the machine is selected and checked to ensure it conforms to quality standards
  • Adjustments are made when the standards are not met
  • Samples are continuously monitored for defects and defects are removed
  • The efficiency, quality and output rate of the production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved
  • Wastage is monitored, kept to a minimum and correctly disposed of according to enterprise quality standards
  • The locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known
       


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:

set up profile cutting units for manufacturing the following types of envelope: banker, open-sided wallet, open-ended pocket and automatic filling, according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance in setting cutting profiles

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of both of theses. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

access to profile cutting machinery used for cutting envelope profiles.

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.

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 checking and confirming job specifications

planning and organising setting up the machine before producing a sample

teamwork when maintaining the production process by working in association with others

using technology such as profile cutting units during the manufacture of envelopes

problem solving when monitoring quality standards and making adjustments to machine settings

Required knowledge

common faults associated with profile cutting, what causes them and how to correct them

enterprise documentation procedures

enterprise quality standards

enterprise faults procedures

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.

Job specifications may include:

job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.

Stepped may include:

inched, jogged, moved slowly through the process.

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.
