- 1.3. Paper tension is monitored on an ongoing basis
- 1.4. Machine is run at optimum speed for maintaining quality outputs
- 1.5. Machine is adjusted to maintain quality of outputs
2. Monitor production
- 2.1. Correct perforation alignment is maintained
- 2.2. Pick-up rollers are working correctly and pressure and timing are maintained
- 2.3. Glue patch applicator or glue impression roller remains clear and dispenses the required amount of glue
- 2.4. Doctor blades and hot melt unit are operating correctly
- 2.5. Timing between all units is maintained or adjusted to avoid production problems
- 2.6. Overall production is monitored and adjustments are made to avoid production problems or improve production speeds
3. Maintain quality
- 3.1. Correct procedures for the removal of waste are followed according to enterprise procedures
- 3.2. Samples are continuously monitored for defects and defects are removed
- 3.3. The efficiency, quality and output rate of the production run are monitored for problems and any deficiencies resolved
- 3.4. The locations of all emergency shutdown buttons and triggers are known
4. Identify problems and rectify

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:
correctly operate an in-line bottom making machine for the manufacture of sacks or bags. The individual will anticipate, identify and rectify production problems with minimum downtime
operate an in-line bottom making machine for the manufacture of sacks or bags according to job specifications. The individual will anticipate, identify and rectify production problems with minimum downtime to maintain production speeds.
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
access to in-line bottom making machinery used in the manufacture of sack and bags.
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
