Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to research and evaluate vehicle body repair materials, equipment and work processes, and to select those most appropriate for establishing a new body repair facility or updating an existing business. It requires knowledge of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair requirements and evolving industry technologies.It applies to those working in the automotive body repair industry.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine process requirements
  • 1.1 Requirements for body repair facility are identified
  • 1.2 Framework and rating system are developed to facilitate comparisons of materials, equipment and processes
  • 1.3 OEM repair requirements are identified and assessed to establish comparisons and benchmarks to be used
2. Identify specifications for required body repair materials, equipment and work processes
  • 2.1 Repair steps and work processes are identified and flow charts produced
  • 2.2 Material and equipment specifications are identified to match repair processes
  • 2.3 Staff and management are consulted to identify additional or altered requirements
  • 2.4 Materials, tooling and equipment requirements for body work undertaken in facility are identified and specifications are documented
  • 2.5 Work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements for safe facility and work practices are identified
  • 2.6 Required specification data is compiled and documented
3. Evaluate materials, equipment and work processes against facility requirements
  • 3.1 Material options are identified against required quality, finish and conformity to OEM specifications and repair standards, and are documented
  • 3.2 Equipment options are identified and documented
  • 3.3 Materials and equipment are selected based on facility work processes and comparisons of performance, cost and specifications compared to established rating system
  • 3.4 Outcomes are documented and report is prepared
