Required skills |
communication by checking and confirming all details required for the job against job specifications or production control system problem solving by interpreting results from gathered information or evidence and making adjustments to equipment planning and organising by preparing the job before setting up the sewing machine planning the job to meet the required timeframe teamwork by maintaining the production process in association with others use of technology by using carton folding and gluing machines |
Required knowledge |
OHS factors that must be considered when setting and/or operating machine delivery systems areas of the sheet-fed feeder that should be monitored to ensure trouble-free operation checked to be undertaken when substrate is removed from the machine OHS factors that must be considered when using the folder/gluer machine areas to continually observe to ensure the smooth trouble-free operation of the machine adjusting the glue application OHS factors that must be considered when adjusting/correcting the machine causes of out-of-square folding and how each may be corrected segments of quality assurance that would be inspected at the completion of the sample run communication action that should be instigated if the job is out-of-square communication action that should be instigated if ink is too wet for production communication action that should be instigated if the job does not coincide with the sample part(s) of the machine that should be adjusted if carton blanks are creasing factors that cause poor glue adhesion on cartons OHS factors that must be considered when cleaning the machine important that tasks must be performed to correctly shut down the machine preparing the finished work for dispatch areas of the machine that need regular cleaning materials that need to be cleaned from the machine keeping the machine clear of surface rust (condensation) quality aspects that should be considered in a completed folded job altering production to meet client requirements machine manuals and safety documentation that are relevant to this task and where they are kept and information that is included in these documents |
Evidence Required
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. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the following is essential: produce a range of simple straight line folded and glued cartons on one of the following machines: a Royal 40, a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources produce at least FOUR simple straight line folded and glued cartons of different sizes and weights according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment for example a Royal 40, a Bobst Media or a Bobst Domino. |
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: direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. |
