Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to run and monitor envelope manufacturing machines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Monitor production process
- 1.1. All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against job specifications
- 1.2. The correct materials and tools are checked and available for the job
- 1.3. The supply of materials throughout the run is maintained Work area is safe and ready for production according to safety requirements
- 1.4. Machine is run at optimum speed for maintaining quality outputs
- 1.5. Samples from the machine are selected and checked to ensure they conform with the required quality standards
- 1.6. Machines are adjusted to maintain quality of outputs
2. Maintain quality
- 2.1. Correct procedures for the removal of waste are followed according to enterprise procedures
- 2.2. Samples are continuously monitored for defects and defects are removed
- 2.3. The efficiency, quality and output rate of the production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved
- 2.4. The locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known
3. Identify problems
- 3.1. Faults which affect the quality of the envelopes are identified and rectified
- 3.2. Problems that reduce the rate of output are identified and fixed
- 3.3. Faults that affect the efficient operation of equipment are identified and resolved
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.
Job specifications may include:
job sheets, batch processing orders, job specs.
Correct materials may include:
glues, papers, coated and uncoated, pre-printed.
Settings may include:
paper tension, paper thickness, coated and non-coated materials, glue drying times, wastage allowance, substrate.

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:
maintain the throughput of envelope manufacturing machines consistently over a period of time
demonstrate all safety devices on the machine
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
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
access to machinery used to produce envelopes.
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
