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 in-line bottom making machines for the manufacture of sacks or bags with minimum downtime

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 scoring, folding, and gluing machinery used in the manufacture of sacks and bags

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 when making the work area safe and preparing for production according to safety requirements

communication skills when checking and confirming all details required for the job against the job specifications

planning and organising when correctly positioning draw rollers, nip rollers and transfer segments, and calibrating pressures with a timing set

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

using technology when using an in-line bottom making machine for the manufacture of sacks or bags

problem solving when stepping the machine to ensure the scores and folds are in the correct position and the paper tension is correct

Required knowledge

common faults associated with folder gluer machines, 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.

Substrate types may include:

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

Correct materials may include:

glues, papers, coated and uncoated, pre-printed.

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.
