Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

1. Prepare oven baking equipment

1.1. Oven baking equipment is checked in accordance with manufacturer specifications

1.2. Equipment found to be faulty is tagged and stored in the designated storage area and reported to appropriate personnel

1.3. Equipment is operated in accordance with organisation and OHS requirements

1.4. Equipment is fired to the required temperature stated in the standard operating procedure

2. Operate oven baking equipment

2.1. Time/temperature curves are plotted to ensure painted surfaces are baked to the required finished Equipment time cycle is monitored and maintained to ensure painted surfaces are not over/under baked

3. Inspect for quality

3.1. Painted body shells are inspected to ensure they meet the required quality control standards

3.2. Body shells with faulty/defect surfaces are identified, marked, and redirected for reworking to minimise waste

3.3. Identified faults are recorded and reported in accordance with quality control standards

4. Record work flow and production schedules

4.1. Work flow and production schedules are completed and maintained

4.2. Deviations to work flow and production schedules are recorded and reported to the appropriate personnel

Required Skills

This section describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required skills

speak clearly and directly in order to report faulty equipment to appropriate personnel

apply teamwork to a range of situations, including the maintaining of work flow and production schedules

solve problems particularly in teams in order to meet performance indicators

show initiative in adapting to changing work conditions or contexts particularly when working across a variety of work areas

access, interpret and apply information on relevant organisation policies, procedures and instructions, particularly to ensure work quality meets designated quality control standards

manage time when planning, preparing and organising work priorities

take responsibility for organising own work priorities.

Required knowledge

relevant Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental regulations and enterprise policies and procedures needed to carry out work in a manner which ensures the safety of people, equipment and the environment. The specific regulations will vary according to the area of operation

organisation technical work documentation covering procedures, specifications, schedules and work plans or equivalent

organisation quality system documentation covering instructions, procedures, performance indicators and review processes or equivalent

organisation cost minimisation/waste avoidance policies, procedures and practices

environmental protection requirements relating to the disposal of waste material

established communication channels and protocols

problem identification and resolution techniques

types of paints and their properties including hardness and their response to temperature

operation of a range of oven baking equipment

the effect of equipment cycles on paint finish requirements

organisation/manufacturer policies and procedures

the use, application and maintenance of the range of tools, materials and equipment relevant to these processes

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

compliance with relevant legislative, regulations, standards, codes of practice and establish safe practices and enterprise policies and procedures for managing personal work priorities

maintaining a working knowledge of current work systems and practices

working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work

applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:

achieving production goals

achieving work quality goals

responding positively to changing work requirements

contributing effectively to cost reduction initiatives

effectively applying problem solving techniques

modify activities to cater for variations in workplace context and environment

set up and operate oven baking equipment

interpret and communicate operational information

achieve the pain finish as designated by job specifications

employ safe working practices

maintain company records - paper based / electronic

Context of and specific resources for assessment

assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process

assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.

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:

assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge

assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application

assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.


Range Statement
