Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a machine to cut and add patches during the manufacture of envelopes.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Calibrate and adjust settings
- 1.1. All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications
- 1.2. The correct materials are checked and available for the job
- 1.3. Adhesives are selected that are appropriate for the substrate, the application process and the machine
- 1.4. Work area is made safe and prepared for production according to safety requirements
- 1.5. Window cutting and patch unit settings are set according to job specifications
- 1.6. Measurement settings are checked thoroughly against job specifications before production is commenced
- 1.7. Window position and size are set to meet requirements to ensure the machine runs efficiently and safely
- 1.8. Wastage is monitored, kept to a minimum and correctly disposed of according to enterprise quality standards
- 1.9. The process is monitored to maintain quality and identify opportunities for improvement
2. Confirm quality
- 2.1. A sample is produced and checked for conformance with quality standards, and adjustments made if required
- 2.2. The efficiency, quality and output rate of the production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved
- 2.3. Any machine faults are reported to appropriate responsible person
- 2.4. The locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known

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 following is essential:
set up the window cutting and patching units and produce a clean window cut with correct gum position, even level of patch size and position according to job specifications and within the production timeframe
demonstrate all safety devices on the machine
for valid and reliable assessment of this unit, evidence should be gathered over a period of time to indicate consistent performance in setting up the manufacturing process
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 both of theses. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment
envelope manufacturing equipment with window cutting and patching units.
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.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
