List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to last shoe by machine | 2.1 | Check work bundle, assess quality of component parts and lay out work pieces in correct sequence |
| 2.2 | Set up workbench and seating to achieve operator comfort and minimise fatigue |
| 2.3 | Clean and check machine, and adjust machine settings according to manufacturer instructions, operator skill and specifications for work |
| 2.4 | Make adjustments to machine in relation to heat, pressure for pulling and for lasting time, and monitor lasting machine for correct operations |
|
3 | Perform lasting process | 3.1 | Position upper precisely on machine and guide through pulling and lasting operations |
| 3.2 | Check correct operations and adjust settings to obtain specified quality outcomes and to reflect construction techniques |
| 3.3 | Monitor lasting machine for correct operations |
| 3.4 | Check performance of machine for signs of faulty operations and address faults according to workplace procedures |
|
4 | Conduct final quality check and despatch work | 4.1 | Assess completed work against quality specifications |
| 4.2 | Bundle work, stack and store or dispatch. |
| 4.3 | Record production faults, as required |
| 4.4 | Complete work records |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
applying relevant standards
preparing workstation and work before commencing operations
checking work against ticket information, quality requirements and workplace procedures
operating lasting machine and setting machine to meet production requirements
positioning upper precisely on machine and guiding through pulling and lasting operations
making adjustments to machine in relation to heat, pressure for pulling and for lasting time, and monitoring lasting machine for correct operations
operating more than one (1) type of machine or operating a complex machine or process to create at least five (5) lasts
monitoring machine performance and product quality
taking appropriate action to address machine faults and product quality
packing, storing and despatching work according to workplace procedures
applying work health and safety (WHS) practices in work operations
maintaining accurate records.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
machine operations requiring the positioning, feeding and handling of work pieces
procedures for single or multiple machine operations and processes
characteristics of typical leathers and how to make allowances for variations
signs of faulty performance and appropriate action to redress faults
quality standards and practices
handling, storage and despatch practices
safety and environmental aspects of relevant lasting processes
workplace procedures
recording and documentation practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in lasting shoes by machine, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
