Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver MEM07043A, 'Identify causes of faulty aluminium extrusions'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Identify causes of faulty aluminium extrusions' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 | Collect information on faulty extrusion | 1.1 | Liaise with extruder operator on die service or fault correction requests |
1.2 | Access and examine die following all relevant work health and safety (WHS) procedures | ||
1.3 | Examine extruder records and identify any previous die corrections | ||
1.4 | Consult with die designer on faults, where required | ||
1.5 | Examine extruder maintenance records and liaise with maintenance department, where required |
2 | Interpret die drawing and specifications | 2.1 | Identify layout and pre-forming of die apertures |
2.2 | Identify bearing and pocket design/specification | ||
2.3 | Identify measurements and tolerances for bearings, die components and die support system | ||
2.4 | Identify bolster and spacer specification for die | ||
2.6 | Identify press specifications | ||
2.7 | Identify speed estimate for die | ||
2.8 | Identify ports and bridges for hollow dies |
3 | Examine faulty extrusions | 3.1 | Check extrusions for shape distortion |
3.2 | Check extrusion measurements are to specification | ||
3.3 | Inspect surface finish of extrusions for defects | ||
3.4 | Identify whether faults apply from the start to the end of extrusion runouts | ||
3.5 | Make a preliminary assessment as to whether faults are related to die or die support system or other factors |
4 | Check for faults not related to die or die support system | 4.1 | Examine die and billet heating and temperature records and confirm heating and temperature was to specification |
4.2 | Confirm extruder was run at correct speed and other settings were to specification | ||
4.3 | Examine billet history and determine if billet was recycled or faulty | ||
4.4 | Confirm with maintenance department that extruder is free of mechanical, electrical, control or structural faults |

5.2 | Inspect die for overall wear, dishing, damage and other defects | ||
5.3 | Inspect bearings for shortening, surface defects, loss of specified angle and clearances | ||
5.4 | Determine if die can be corrected, scrapped or returned to manufacturer | ||
5.5 | Inspect die support system and components for defects and die slide misalignment |
6 | Record cause of fault and communicate as required | 6.1 | Prepare recommendations for die correction and obtain any required approvals |
6.2 | Prepare recommendations for any changes to process or temperature settings and distribute, as appropriate |
