Unit of Competency MSFGG4005 - Set up, configure, upgrade and troubleshoot glass and glazing plant and ancillary equipment
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers setting up, testing, adjusting, troubleshooting and quality assuring a range of glass and glazing processing plant and equipment. It includes non-numerical control (NC)/computer numerically controlled (CNC) production machines and processes for semi-automatic or automatic operation. Troubleshooting involves using testing equipment to identify problems and take corrective action.Job roles require discretion, judgement and problem solving with complex technical difficulties resolved in consultation with appropriate technical advisers. Training of plant operators in correct operational procedures and techniques is required.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.

Assessors must:

hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors

have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification

be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.

Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.

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

Access is required to glass processing plant and ancillary equipment, relevant setting, operating, testing, maintenance and repair manuals for plant, glass products specifications, and quality standards and organisational procedures.
