Description
This unit describes the application of the required skills and knowledge to program and monitor computerised equipment with plant, tooling, equipment or systems required for the design, development and production of motor vehicles.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Program computerised equipment
- 1.1. Applicable organisation requirements relevant to program and monitor computerised equipment are verified and complied with throughout the work activity
- 1.2. Instructions and plans are read and interpreted to identify processes and materials to complete work tasks
- 1.3. Electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, final control modules or other computerised equipment are prepared for programming
- 1.4. Programmed electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, final control modules or other computerised equipment is tested against job specifications
2. Step-through and monitor the operations of electronic/ microprocessor controlled equipment
- 2.1. Electronic/microprocessor related to automotive development, final control modules or other computerised equipment controlled equipment is setup
- 2.2. Operations of the electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, final control modules, or other computerised equipment are stepped-through and monitored
- 2.3. Any malfunctions of the electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, final control modules, or other computerised equipment is identified and reported
3. Identify and diagnose fault conditions in electronic/ microprocessor controlled equipment
- 3.1. Cause of malfunction in an electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment is diagnosed with the aid of fault-finding guides
- 3.2. A counter measure is proposed to rectify the malfunction
4. Rectify faults in electronic/ microprocessor controlled equipment
- 4.1. Identified malfunction of electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment is reported and/or rectified
- 4.2. Required counter measures are programmed into computerised equipment
- 4.3. Revised program is tested, faults rectified and cleared for operational use
5. Document programming, monitoring and repairs to electronic/ microprocessor controlled equipment.
- 5.1. Programming of the electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment is documented
- 5.2. Outcomes of the step-through and monitoring of operations of the electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment and any related fault rectification action are documented
- 5.3. Documentation on the outcomes of the step-through and monitoring of the operations of the electronic/ microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, and any related fault rectification action is stored and/or distributed to appropriate personnel
- 5.4. System/data/program is backed up where applicable

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and organisation policies and procedures for programming and monitoring electronic/microprocessor controlled equipment related to automotive development, final control modules and other computerised equipment
working and communicating effectively and positively with others involved in the work
applying, within authority, the requirements of the job or work role in relation to:
using computers and computerised equipment
using displays in plant, tooling, equipment or systems
achieving work quality goals
completing work area housekeeping requirements including the documentation of project activity and process outcomes
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
assessment of the competency should take place in a safe working environment in a passenger motor vehicle manufacturing plant or simulated environment using tools/equipment/machinery required for the production process without undue disruption to the production process
assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of organisation relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge
assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application
assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process
assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
