Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to fabricate components for shopfitting units using computer numerically-controlled (CNC) machinery. It covers interpreting specifications for components, programming and testing the CNC machine, and producing and marking components for assembly. The components include cabinets, benches, counters, showcases, wall units and work stations.The unit supports shopfitters working as part of a team to fabricate a range of shopfitting units for transportation to different installation work sites. It applies to off-site shopfitting work conducted in manufacturing premises or workshops.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan and prepare.
  • 1.1 Job requirements are obtained, reviewed and confirmed with relevant personnel and applied to planning.
  • 1.2 Work site conditions and hazards are identified and reported as required, and health and safety requirements for fabricating components for shopfitting units are confirmed with relevant personnel and applied to planning.
  • 1.3 Details of structure of shopfitting unit are identified and confirmed.
  • 1.4 CNC machinery is selected to carry out tasks according to job requirements, checked for serviceability, and faults are rectified or reported before starting work.
  • 1.5 Materialsspecified for shopfitting units are identified, and quantity requirements are calculated according to drawings, specifications and quality requirements.
