This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to trial new materials and processes and make prototypes.

The source of these trials can arise from internal improvements or new products/processes from external sources. Regardless, trials need to be conducted to 'prove' it in an industrial environment, to translate research and development into practical processes and to provide appropriate records and metrics.

This unit does not cover the selection of materials or processes but does cover the organising and analysing of trials to prove proposed new materials or processes in the production environment.

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

Band: A

Unit Weight: 4

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, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Novel part includes one (1) or more of the following:	new resin system on standard reinforcing new reinforcing with standard resin system new process using standard materials standard process and materials producing product with different properties
Process properties include the following:	gel time viscosity temperature (e.g. mould, resin and ambient) infusion time peak exotherm (e.g. using a laser thermometer)
Business measures include the following:	costs time analysis quality reliability
Scale of trial includes one (1) or more of the following:	full scale prototype scaled down prototype laminate samples only portion of laminate
Modifying procedure includes one (1) or more of the following:	changing resin inlets changing resin chemistry changing other materials modifications to process modifications to tooling
Areas for improvement include one (1) or more of the following:	trial procedures not workable trial product does not meet specification trial procedures do not meet sustainability requirements

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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
Compare proposed process with existing similar processes
Determine scale of trial
Compare outcome with requirements
