Elements and Performance Criteria

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. 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) may also be included.

Machines
Range of corrugating machines with manual, semi-automated and fully automated process control systems

In-line processes
Range of wax and coating systems operations, slitters and cutters. Note that slitting and cutting may be separately assessable as flat-bed or rotary cutting

Substrate types
Range of substrates within the major categories of board or paper

Substrate handling
Wide reel handling systems

Degree of autonomy
Working to defined procedures under limited supervision

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency

Evidence of the following is essential:

Set up the reel in-feed, splicer, pre-conditioner, pre-heater, single facer, curing, coating and / or waxing sections of a corrugator
Set up the reel in-feed, splicer, pre-conditioner, pre-heater, single facer, curing, coating and / or waxing sections of a corrugator for at least TWO different product runs, according to manufacturer's and job specifications, enterprise procedures and the listed Performance Criteria
Evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

Assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
In-line corrugating machinery

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:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICPCF220B Produce basic converted or finished product
ICPCF231B Set up machine for basic flat-bed cutting
ICPCF235B Set up machine for basic rotary cutting
ICPCF281B Set up machine for basic laminating
ICPCF3105B Produce single-faced web
ICPSU201B Prepare, load and unload reels and cores on and off machine
