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!

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, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this training package.

Overview of assessment

A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.

Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria and skills and knowledge.

Where the assessee does not currently possess evidence of competency in MEM9.2B Interpret technical drawing, it may be co-assessed with this unit.

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

It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the knowledge and skills defined in this unit. These may include the ability to:

identify critical materials properties and process characteristics in relation to the process requirements and the end product

develop patterns which are easy to use in the workplace and which produce in-specification products with minimal modification to pattern or product.

identify and take appropriate action on problems and potential problems.

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. For example, look to see that:

the process runs consistently and smoothly.

all safety procedures are always followed.

Assessment method and context

Assessment will be undertaken in a work-like environment using appropriate equipment to demonstrate evidence of how to develop patterns for the production processes from workplace drawings.

Competence in this unit may be assessed:

using industrial patterns and situations

in a situation allowing for the generation of evidence of the ability to recognise, anticipate and respond to problems

by using a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios

through a combination of these techniques.

In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment. Assessors need to be aware of any cultural issues that may affect responses to questions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the oracy, language and literacy capacity of the assessee and the work being performed.

Specific resources for assessment

This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent that they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.

Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to apply them to the patternmaking process.

A knowledge of the enterprise's procedures, quality requirements, relevant regulatory requirements and the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.

Application of the knowledge of managing risks using the hierarchy of controls applied to developing patterns. Application of approved hazard control and safety procedures and the use of PPE in relation to handling materials, equipment operation and cleanup.

Knowledge as a basis for solving processing and material problems including:

interpreting drawings and extrapolating to physical dimensions

selecting appropriate mediums and materials

hand development of patterns

CAD/CAM assisted pattern development

using other pattern developing tools

using powered hand and bench tools as required

influence of polymer type on pattern requirements

influence of fabrication/manufacture process on pattern requirements.

Competence includes the ability for the practical completion of the job to:

plan own work, including predicting consequences and identifying improvements

identify and describe own role and role of others involved directly in the development of patterns process.

identify factors which may affect product quality or production output and appropriate remedies

identify when assistance is required to solve problems

identify product, materials and work processes appropriate for the individual work role

locate, interpret and apply relevant information and maintain workplace records according to procedures.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

This unit requires the ability to read and interpret customer requirements, technical specifications and technical drawings/sketches.

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms, quality records and production and reports.

Numeracy is also required, eg to interpret specifications and drawings, and conceptually manipulate two and three dimensional shapes and determine pattern size/shape to give the correct final size/shape.

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. Add any 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.

Where reference is made to industry codes of practice and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.

Context

This competency applies to all work environments and sectors within the plastics, rubber and cablemaking industry. It includes the operation of all relevant ancillary equipment relevant to the patterns development process.

Procedures

All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.

Procedures include all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.

Tools and equipment

This unit of competency includes use of equipment and tools such as:

manual lathe and mills

bench drills/drill presses

grinders

liquid solidification using lasers

manual drawing sketching.

Hazards

Typical hazards include:

eye strain

repetitive strain injury

posture hazards.

Problems

'Anticipate and solve problems' means resolve a wide range of routine and non-routine problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have i) a known solution, ii) a solution recorded in the procedures.

Typical process and product problems may include:

making adequate allowances for manufacture

balancing cost of pattern with required pattern life

stability of pattern in use

damage to pattern in use.

Appropriate action for problems outside of area of responsibility may be reporting to an appropriate person.

Appropriate action for solving problems within area of responsibility includes asking questions and seeking assistance from appropriate person/sources.

Variables

Key variables to be monitored include:

pattern integrity and conformance to specifications.

pattern stability and lifecycle.
