Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for die and stripper making
  • Die and stripper making requirements are identified and selected from die drawing or inspection
  • Availability of all job related components is checked
  • Materials chosen are appropriate for cutting forme design and the machine cutting forme/stripper is to be used on
       
Element: Prepare materials
  • Cutting forme/stripper making materials are assessed and cut to size
  • Cutting forme/stripper making materials are correct size for production requirements
  • Stripper backing material is correct size for production requirements
  • Product design is drawn onto cutting forme blank to match cutting forme design
  • Drawing is in register on cutting forme blank
  • Drawing is in register on stripper backing material
       
Element: Prepare lay down sheet and cutting forme tracing
  • Lay down sheet and cutting forme tracing are glued correctly onto cutting forme blank
  • Lay down sheet is in register on cutting forme blank
  • Cutting forme tracing matches product design
       
Element: Design location of bridges, stripping rule and mounting holes
  • Cutting forme maintains required strength
  • Waste is cut to suit waste extraction system
  • Mounting holes register with holes in cutting forme blank
       


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:

prepare materials for cutting formes 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

prepare materials for TWO cutting formes (ONE large ONE small) to accommodate TWO differing typically used substrates using all of the relevant processes according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria

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 these

off the job assessment 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:

ICPCF312C Set cutting forme and strippers.

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.

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication skills when interpreting the drawings and transferring the design onto the cutting forme blank, and when identifying die and stripper making requirements from the drawing

planning and organising by identifying resource requirements and choosing materials relevant to the task

teamwork when preparing cutting formes and strippers in a workplace context

using technology by gluing the lay down sheet tracing onto cutting forme blank

problem solving by cutting waste to suit the waste extraction system

Required knowledge

special requirements that may be identified from planner's drawings

OHS factors that must be considered when cutting materials

names of the substrates commonly cut by these cutting formes

affect of different substrates on forme setting

determining the size of the stripper backer material

care that should be taken when drawing design onto blank

assuring registration when drawing design onto blank

correct registration achievement when gluing and laying down the cutting forme tracing onto the cutting forme blank

factors that determine the thickness of the stripping rule

factors that determine the position and number of the bridges

factors that determine the position and number of the mounting holes

machine manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where they are kept and information that is included in these documents

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.

Complexity of process may include:

varied cutting formes according to manufacturer's differentiations.

Degree of autonomy may include:

initiative and judgment are demonstrated.

Enterprise procedures may include:

range of enterprise procedures within defined work area.

Quality processes and standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

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.
