Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Assess the requirements of the brief
  • All relevant information in the brief is checked, eg carton type, dimensions, material
  • All relevant requirements of the brief are assessed in line with enterprise specifications
       
Element: Select and modify template
  • Appropriate template is selected on the CAD system
  • Height, width and depth and gluing flap dimensions are adjusted according to the client brief
  • Requirements for knife setting and stripping in production are checked and position is designed so as to have correct grain direction and to maximise use of material
       
Element: Use plotter to cut sample
  • Plotter is set up ready for downloading design
  • Cutting and creasing depths are set
  • Material is positioned correctly
  • Plotter is operated safely according to manufacturer's specifications and enterprise procedures
  • Routine machine maintenance is carried out as required
       
Element: Assemble sample
  • Sample is cut by hand
  • Cut sample is folded and glued by hand ensuring that angles and construction are correct
  • Originals and elements are selected, scaled and cropped appropriately to fit the grid space allocate
       
Element: Check and adjust design
  • Sample is checked to ensure conformance to the client brief
  • Design is adjusted if necessary to meet job specifications
       
Element: Output design
  • Design is saved ready for downloading to forme cutter
  • Design is outputted as keyline for artwork or as film as required
  • Relevant paperwork is completed 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 ability to:

the sample carton accurately meets the job and client specifications

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

produce TWO different carton designs and samples using existing templates to meet job brief according to the listed Performance Criteria.

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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(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 of ideas and information by interpreting the job brief

collecting, analysing and organising information by using information on carton types and templates in conjunction with the job brief

planning and organising activities by planning the sequence of operations to facilitate processing

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by calculating sizes, allowances, calliper of materials

problem-solving skills by recognising and fixing sample problems

use of technology by using equipment correctly to facilitate processing

Required knowledge

health and safety concerns that are there when using computers and plotters

CAD programs that are available for carton design

correct alignment of a cut outpositioned in a design

types of products that are the following types of cartons used for (sleeves, full flap, auto lock, crash lock, trays)

design is appropriateness for its end use

aspects of product sizing and tolerances that should be rechecked

carton designs that are suitable for machine packing

carton designs that are suitable for hand packing

constraints on design and positioning on the forme that are caused by the requirements of knife making and production

manuals, safety and other documentation that are relevant to this task and where are they 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.

Design tools may include:

appropriate CAD programs, plotters.

Types of design may include:

full range of cartons including sleeves, tucks, full flap, auto lock, crash lock, trays for which there are existing templates on the CAD system.

Quality 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.
