Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Confirm quality of output

  1. A sample from the machine is selected and checked to ensure it conforms to the required quality standards
  2. Adjustments are made when the standards are not met
  3. Each process is monitored and minor adjustments are made during production, if required
  4. Samples are continuously monitored for defects and defects are removed
  5. The efficiency, quality and output rate of the production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved
  6. Wastage is monitored, kept to a minimum and correctly disposed of according to enterprise quality standards
  7. The locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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:

set up and operate a folder gluer machine according to job specifications and within the production timeframe

the individual is able to set up and operate a folder gluer machine with minimum downtime or wastage

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 both of theses. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

access to a folder gluer machine.

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.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS when making the work area safe and preparing for production according to safety requirements

communication skills when checking and confirming job specifications

basic literacy to read work instructions

planning and organising when monitoring wastage and correctly disposing of it according to enterprise quality standards

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with other staff

using technology when operating a folder gluer machine

problem solving when monitoring and correcting paper moisture levels and continuously monitoring samples for defects and removing them as required

Required knowledge

common faults associated with folder gluer machines, what causes them and how to correct them

enterprise documentation procedures

enterprise quality standards

enterprise faults procedures

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.

Job specifications may include:

job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.

Correct materials may include:

glues, papers, coated and uncoated, pre-printed, printed or die-cut board, single and double wall corrugated board.

Jogged may include:

inched, moved slowly through the process.
