Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to examine required cabinet adjustments, select appropriate techniques and make adjustments to pre-made cabinets in order to achieve accurate fit at site of installation. It includes conducting measurements to check accuracy of adjustments made.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine required adjustment techniques
- 1.1. Obtain access to site according to project guidelines and occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures
- 1.2. Examine measurements and required adjustments
- 1.3. Apply problem solving skills to select techniques to conduct adjustments with minimal disruption to cabinet construction
- 1.4. Check cabinet design to ensure design and industry standards will be maintained with completion of cabinet adjustments
2. Make adjustments
- 2.1. Inspect and confirm cabinet markings to ensure accurate adjustments
- 2.2. Conduct adjustments using appropriate techniques and tools
- 2.3. Clean area and dispose of rubbish according to environmental standards
3. Confirm accurate fit
- 3.1. Conduct measurements to ensure cabinet readiness for installation
- 3.2. Measure edges and lines to ensure fit is straight and flush
- 3.3. Check doors, drawers, runners, handles and latches for correct alignment
- 3.4. Check tolerances to ensure standards are achieved
- 3.5. Complete workplace documentation
RANGE STATEMENT
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.
Problem solving skills
Problem solving skills may include but are not limited to:
re-examining plans and drawings
comparing measurements
determining root cause
applying product knowledge to situation
discussing issue with colleagues
comparing alternative techniques
assessing pros and cons of options
applying principles of construction to situation
identifying associated hazards
Adjustments
Adjustments may include but are not limited to:
planing
sanding
drilling
screwing
aligning
gluing
fixing
Workplace documentation
Workplace documentation may include but not limited to:
design drawings and plans
order forms
quality documentation
job forms
specifications

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
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Take and record accurate measurements
Apply problem solving techniques to determine adjustment techniques
Complete range of operations to adjust cabinets
Use hand and power tools safely and efficiently
Conduct quality checks
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The application of competency is to be assessed in the workplace or realistically simulated workplace
Assessment is to occur under standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints
Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge, other than confirmatory questions, will usually be conducted in an off-site context
Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian Standards requirements
The following resources should be made available:
workplace location or simulated workplace
tools required for measurement and completing adjustments
plans, drawings and manuals relating to project
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the Furnishing Industry Training Package
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace 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 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
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
