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.

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment

Identify materials used in the work process

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, tools, equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

The selection of materials and the construction of a minimum of three different types of jigs/fixtures, including one for a shaping machine and one which is adjustable

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Job context, materials and equipment for jig or fixture construction.

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of Assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.


Submission Requirements

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 knowledge

types, characteristics, uses and limitations of jigs and fixtures

criteria for selecting material for use in jigs and fixtures

requirements for cutting, shaping and joining materials

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

workflow in relation to the use of jigs and fixtures

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.

Machines for which jigs and fixtures are made may include, but are not limited to:

band saws

cross cut saws

jig saws

mitre saws

panel and rip saws

belt sanders

panel planers

surface planers

horizontal borers

vertical drill presses

mortisers

tenoners

spindle moulders

overhead and inverted pin routing machines

The uses for jigs and fixtures may include, but are not limited to:

holding

shaping

drilling

cutting

routing

Jigs and fixtures are used in the production of, but are not limited to:

chair legs

shaping curved components

end panels

trenching

grooving

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

measuring tapes or rulers

hammers

mallets

squares

bevels

chisels

planes

hand saws

power saws

power drills/screwdrivers

pneumatic tools

clamps

screwdrivers

pincers

Unit context

OH&S requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods code and local safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machines

Competency may be demonstrated in workplaces involved in the manufacture of solid timber furniture, domestic furniture, commercial furniture, kitchen and bathroom cabinets and/or furniture components

Material used in the construction of jigs and fixtures may include, but is not limited to:

solid timber

manufactured board

metal

plastics

synthetic solids

laminates and non-ferrous materials

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the use of tools and equipment

Work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

Manufacturers' specifications and operational procedures

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.
