Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking, workflow interruptions or wastage work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate quantities and estimate material requirements use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate assembly problems, avoid re-working and damage use the limited workplace technology related to the assembly of simple artwork packages |
Required knowledge |
workflow in relation to assembly of artwork package identification of materials, components, equipment, processes and procedures appropriate for assembling artwork packages construction techniques and processes for the components of the artwork packages industry standards and workplace practices in the assembly of simple artwork packages be aware of the effect of this process on the artwork |
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. | |
Critical aspects of evidence | Interpret work order and identify the artwork to be framed and the required package components Complete package assembly without damage to the object Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment, safety and environmental protection equipment Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to: minimise the risk of injury to self and others prevent damage to goods, equipment and products maintain required production output and product quality As a minimum, assemble three artwork packages given a range of components and specifications Work effectively with others Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment |
Resource implications | Components of artwork package, work instructions, work procedures, work area, tools and materials. |
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 which together form a part of the job role. |
Context of assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines. |
Range Statement
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. | |
