Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Obtain job instuctions and locate forme
  • Job sheets or instructions are interpreted correctly
  • Existing formes are located in storage area using filing system and new formes and associated tooling are collected from holding location
       
Element: Check cutting forme
  • Cutting forme/tooling is checked against master sample for accuracy of cut and fold
  • Centre line is located and checked to ensure accuracy of positioning/registration on Bobst
       
Element: Position and set up counters
  • Cutting plate is located and prepared for counters
  • Counters are accurately positioned and set up on cutting plate to ensure registration with cutting forme
       
Element: Conduct sample cut
  • Material to be used for sample cut is obtained
  • Cutting forme and cutting plate are accurately positioned on machine
  • Machine is operated to produce sample according to enterprise procedures
       
Element: Check sample
  • Sample is accurately cut and registration of tooling is precise
  • Forme or tooling is adjusted if necessary according to job specifications
  • Sample is confirmed as correct by supervisor if required
       
Element: Set up stripping forme and blank separator
  • Pins are positioned on stripping forme to ensure accurate removal of waste board
  • Blank separator is set up according to job specifications
       
Element: Undertake filing procedure
  • Correct identification number is allocated to cutting formes/tooling and strippers and recorded
  • Information is correctly entered into filing system according to enterprise procedures
       


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 cutting formes (two large and two small) to accommodate different complexities of cutting with multiple images with extremely tight registration and highly accurate cutting requirements

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

prepare FOUR cutting formes (two large and two small) to accommodate TWO different complexities of cutting. At least ONE must contain multiple images with extremely tight registration and highly accurate cutting requirements

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.

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 by interpreting job sheets correctly during set up

planning and organising when setting up machinery and materials

teamwork when discussing a sample with the supervisor

using technology by setting up machinery

problem solving by adjusting forme or tooling for precise cutting

Required knowledge

checks made to correctly position bridge holes

bridge holes reinforcement

checks that can be performed to ensure that the saw cuts accurately match the line drawings

checks to be made when cutting and shaping the knives and creasers

OHS concerns that are there when setting knives

factors that determine the amount of rubber attached to the forme

factors that determine the positioning of the rubber on the forme

important items to consider when setting the knives and creasers into position on the forme blank

checked to be made when attaching stripping materials to stripper backing materials

attachment of stripper materials accurately

purpose of the mounting strips

areas that must be proofed to ensure that the cutting forme meets the production order specifications

allocation of numbers to each forme

method of recording the forme allocation numbers that is the accepted formula

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.

Context may include:

this competency is performed between the making of the cutting forme and it going to the cutting machine for normal make ready.

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.
