Prepare materials for fabrication using jigs and fixtures


Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to prepare materials according to drawing specifications and then use jigs and fixtures to fabricate components.

It applies to those in an automotive manufacturing environment and involves the application of skills and knowledge at a production worker level.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
