  • Quality specifications and tolerances are understood
  • Variation to standards is monitored and corrective action taken to rectify the problem according to enterprise procedures
  • Inspection and testing procedures are applied at regular intervals to determine conformity with specifications and to minimise waste
  • Unsatisfactory work is identified according to predetermined standards and enterprise procedures
       
Element: Complete documentation
  • Documentation is accurately completed to meet required enterprise procedures
  • Problems and suggestions for improvement are documented and passed on to appropriate personnel
       


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:

correctly inspect the quality of work against job specifications

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

evidence should include a record of at least one month during which no reasonable complaints or reports of faulty goods or documentation are received from customers (internal or external) relating to work handled by the candidate

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. 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.

teamwork when participating in quality reporting procedures at all levels

mathematical ideas and techniques by applying inspection and testing procedures as relevant

problem-solving skills applied by identifying quality problems and resolving or reporting them

use of technology by using relevant inspection and testing procedures

Required knowledge

checking quality requirements before job commencement

quality standards that have been set by the customer

enterprise procedures to achieve quality

necessary quality areas that should be inspected

quality inspection procedures

timing of quality inspections be carried out

results that unnecessary inspection have on production output

control instruments that are used in quality inspection

faults identified response

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.

Quality standards may include:

should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

Enterprise procedures may include:

range of enterprise procedures within defined work area.

Type of inspections may include:

various types of inspection and testing techniques (ie 100%, random, periodic or continuous in-line inspection).

Sector may include:

all sectors of pre-press, printing, screen printing, multimedia, converting, binding and finishing, mail house and ink manufacture.

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.
