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!

MEM18023B - Modify fluid power system operation

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

Determine modification requirements

  1. Service/maintenance reports and system output information is interpreted and analysed correctly.
  2. Using knowledge and principles of fluid power systems, defective components, sub-assemblies and design faults are identified.
  3. Defective components and design faults are verified using appropriate means and techniques.
  4. Corrective action plan is researched and developed in consultation with appropriate personnel.
  5. Modification/design options are investigated to overcome parts failure or design faults.
  6. Most appropriate modifications design option is developed, selected and specifications are prepared.
Service/maintenance reports and system output information is interpreted and analysed correctly.

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to modify fluid power system operation Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with modifying fluid power system operation or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

obtaining, interpreting and analysing service/maintenance reports and system output information

planning and sequencing operations

checking and testing components/sub-assemblies for conformance to specification

confirming design faults

obtaining relevant information with respect to the modification requirements

developing an appropriate action plan to overcome system problems

undertaking modifications to fluid power systems where appropriate

delegating work to appropriate personnel where appropriate and supervising work

recording/reporting modifications to the fluid power system

checking the operation of the modified/repaired fluid power system for compliance with operational specifications

initiating and monitoring further corrective action, where applicable
