Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to apply digital workflow from concept stage to completion and delivery. If focuses on a basic knowledge and the application of digital workflow that could include customer service, job generation, printing, finishing and dispatch. It relates only to the ability to conform to work procedures, not planning digital workflow.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan and prepare for digital workflow
- 1.1. Work instructions and operational details are obtained and confirmed

- 1.4. Materials appropriate to the work application are identified, obtained, prepared, safely handled and located ready for use
- 1.5. Material quantity requirements are calculated according to plans and/or specifications
- 1.6. Safety requirements are followed according to safety plans and policies
2. Follow digital workflow
- 2.1. Work plan is determined, modified and performed in a logical and efficient sequence
- 2.2. Tasks are completed and checked for compliance against work instructions
3. Maintain the workplace
- 3.1. Work area is cleared and materials disposed of or recycled in accordance with project environmental management plan
- 3.2. Equipment is cleaned, checked, maintained and stored according to manufacturer's recommendations and standard work practices

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
follow a digital production workflow and produce work to an enterprise standard
find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
that conditions are typical ambient conditions found in the workplace
access to relevant facilities, equipment and materials used in a digital production workflow, such as high-end graphics and layout software, digital output devices and finishing equipment
use of culturally appropriate processes and techniques appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of learners and the work being performed.
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
third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate
practical demonstration by the candidate following a digital production workflow.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended
ICPPR384A Set up produce and basic digital print
ICPPR385A Apply software applications to digital production.
For valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time through a range of methods for assessment to indicate consistent performance.
