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. |
Procedures | Procedures may be written, verbal, computer-based or in some other form, and may include: all work instructions standard operating procedures formulas/recipes batch sheets temporary instructions any similar instructions provided for the smooth running of the plant good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of practice (e.g. Responsible Care) and government regulations |
Sheets | Sheets include: reinforcing: woven non-woven pre-preg cores timber, such as MDF and plywood filler material |
Requirements of final product | Requirements of final product may be determined from various sources, including: drawings product specifications customer requests descriptions of required use of product |
Requirements of sheet material | Requirements of sheet material include: strength flexibility/rigidity thickness density directionality drape operating temperature |
Lay flats | Lay flats (templates) are the geometric development of 3-D shape into a 2-D template which will allow the 3-D shape into be fabricated from a 2-D sheet. The lay flat may not take into account the required directionality. Lay flats may be: physical (e.g. board and sheet metal) virtual (e.g. coordinates and laser beam) |
Regular rectilinear shapes | Regular rectilinear shapes include: rectangular prisms cubes portions of prisms and cubes similar shapes |
Regular curved shapes | Regular curved shapes include: cylinders spheres segments of cylinders and spheres similar shapes |
Transition pieces | Transition pieces include: cones pyramids portions of cones and pyramids square to round tee piece lobster back similar shapes |
Complex 3-D shapes | Complex 3-D shapes include: other 3-D shapes which may need to be fabricated and which may be composed of a number of components of the above shapes |
Alignment | Alignment may make reference to: warp weft selvedge other features of the sheet Alignment also includes: the nesting of lay flats to optimise the use of materials and minimise waste |
Logs and reports | Logs and reports may be: paper or electronic based verbal reports items found which require action |
Appropriate action | Appropriate action includes: determining problems needing action determining possible fault causes rectifying problem using appropriate solution within area of responsibility following through items initiated until final resolution has occurred reporting problems outside area of responsibility to designated person |
Typical problems | Typical problems may include: identifying directionality in sheet identify a feature to provide alignment products requiring multidirectional properties |
Health, safety and environment (HSE) | All operations to which this unit applies are subject to stringent HSE requirements, which may be imposed through state/territory or federal legislation, and these must not be compromised at any time. Where there is an apparent conflict between Performance Criteria and HSE requirements, the HSE requirements take precedence |
