Unit of Competency ICPSUP482 - Troubleshoot and optimise materials and machinery
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to experiment with and extend the use of materials, and undertake non-routine adjustment and tuning of machinery to meet efficiency targets.It applies to individuals who perform a broad range of skilled tasks and services to customers in the printing and graphic arts industry. They may also provide some leadership and guidance to others in the application and planning of the skills. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Support field of work and include access to machinery and materials.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Review material behaviour
  • Evaluation of material or product structure is conducted to identify options for production
  • Material handling options are chosen to ensure best performance of materials during production
  • Options are assessed to determine most effective/efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from materials
  • Test run confirms correct options, or the need for further adjustment or trialling to meet quality standards
  • Options and recommendations are documented for future reference according to enterprise procedures
       
Element: Tune and adjust machinery
  • Idiosyncrasies of machines are reviewed and adjustments or tuning undertaken to compensate or exploit the idiosyncrasy, within the manufacturer’s specifications
  • Options are assessed to determine most effective/efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from machinery
  • Test run confirms correct options and settings, or the need for further adjustment or tuning to meet quality standards
  • Options and recommendations are documented for future reference according to enterprise procedures
  • Instruction is provided to machine operator or finisher on new practices, if required
       
Element: Troubleshoot machinery and material problems
  • Corrective or preventive action is recommended and implemented where appropriate
  • Changes are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner
  • Changes are monitored to confirm improvement to production efficiency
  • Ongoing problems are reported 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.

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Review material behaviour

1.1 Evaluation of material or product structure is conducted to identify options for production

1.2 Material handling options are chosen to ensure best performance of materials during production

1.3 Options are assessed to determine most effective/efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from materials

1.4 Test run confirms correct options, or the need for further adjustment or trialling to meet quality standards

1.5 Options and recommendations are documented for future reference according to enterprise procedures

2. Tune and adjust machinery

2.1 Idiosyncrasies of machines are reviewed and adjustments or tuning undertaken to compensate or exploit the idiosyncrasy, within the manufacturer’s specifications

2.2 Options are assessed to determine most effective/efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from machinery

2.3 Test run confirms correct options and settings, or the need for further adjustment or tuning to meet quality standards

2.4 Options and recommendations are documented for future reference according to enterprise procedures

2.5 Instruction is provided to machine operator or finisher on new practices, if required

3. Troubleshoot machinery and material problems

3.1 Corrective or preventive action is recommended and implemented where appropriate

3.2 Changes are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner

3.3 Changes are monitored to confirm improvement to production efficiency

3.4 Ongoing problems are reported according to enterprise procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

recommend and implement new practices that extend every day use of materials and machinery, and troubleshoot problems with material and machinery

produce a portfolio that demonstrates each element has been carried out (including records of standards and monitoring procedures, and evidence they are being effectively carried out)

confirm production efficiencies through discussions with senior management and review of workplace documentation.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

Examine design and identification of materials and suitable processes

explain need to implement change

identify required changes to existing production areas

explain how the operation can be integrated into existing organisational processes

identify materials required in addition to existing ones

outline alternatives to the chosen process

explain the decision for choosing a particular process

Review customer and production requirements

explain the review conducted, to assess the process for suitability for customer requirements

list different materials that can be used to produce the same results without production problems

identify production plan information to aid in determining the process

Review existing operations and problems

describe the impact the process will have on existing operations

explain how training can be integrated into existing process operations

describe how the process can eliminate existing production problems

Identify operations and machinery

explain how to optimise existing machinery or equipment

describe special provisions that will be necessary to extend the use of equipment

calculate the expected production life of this equipment and machinery

identify technology that could see this equipment outdated

identify technology that could improve this equipment or machinery

summarise work health and safety considerations for operating machinery.
