This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce products using advanced plastic processing equipment.

It relates to operations where the output of the machine or process can be varied at the discretion of the operator and where recognition/rectification skills are applied based upon product/material/process knowledge to achieve specified outcomes.

Where operational maintenance is required to be performed unit MEM07001 Perform operational maintenance of machines/equipment should also be selected.

When production packaging and labelling of the finished goods or product is required unit MEM11006 Perform production packaging should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 6

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Plastic and rubber processing include one (1) or more of the following:	injection blow moulding processing of fibre reinforced composites extrusion thermoforming vacuum forming foaming
Product faults/deviations include one (1) or more of the following:	short shots warped mouldings dimensional errors
Raw materials faults/deviations include one (1) or more of the following:	contamination colour variation
Tooling faults/deviations include one (1) or more of the following:	blemishes missing detail
Machine or process faults/deviations include one (1) or more of the following:	short shots burn marks distortion

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
