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!

ICPSUP482 - Troubleshoot and optimise materials and machinery

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Review material behaviour

  1. Evaluation of material or product structure is conducted to identify options for production
  2. Material handling options are chosen to ensure best performance of materials during production
  3. Options are assessed to determine most effective/efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from materials
  4. Test run confirms correct options, or the need for further adjustment or trialling to meet quality standards
  5. Options and recommendations are documented for future reference according to enterprise procedures

Evidence of the ability to:

recommend and implement new practices that extend every day use of materials and machinery, and troubleshoot problems with material and machinery

produce a portfolio that demonstrates each element has been carried out (including records of standards and monitoring procedures, and evidence they are being effectively carried out)

confirm production efficiencies through discussions with senior management and review of workplace documentation.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

Examine design and identification of materials and suitable processes

explain need to implement change

identify required changes to existing production areas

explain how the operation can be integrated into existing organisational processes

identify materials required in addition to existing ones

outline alternatives to the chosen process

explain the decision for choosing a particular process

Review customer and production requirements

explain the review conducted, to assess the process for suitability for customer requirements

list different materials that can be used to produce the same results without production problems

identify production plan information to aid in determining the process

Review existing operations and problems

describe the impact the process will have on existing operations

explain how training can be integrated into existing process operations

describe how the process can eliminate existing production problems

Identify operations and machinery

explain how to optimise existing machinery or equipment

describe special provisions that will be necessary to extend the use of equipment

calculate the expected production life of this equipment and machinery

identify technology that could see this equipment outdated

identify technology that could improve this equipment or machinery

summarise work health and safety considerations for operating machinery.
