Evidence Required

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.

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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Identify and operate CNC machine, including the use of safety cut outs and guards

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment, safety and environmental protection equipment

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information to set up, operate, adjust and monitor equipment used to produce components for picture frames.

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

As a minimum, in flat, traditional and reverse profiles (all 3), set up and demonstrate the operation of EITHER:

CNC mat board cutter in cutting the following patterns:

single and double

regular, oval, custom/regular

multi-holed; AND/OR

CNC mitre saws and CNC V-nailers to cut and join the following frames (at least one of them being a multi-angle frame) up to a width of 100 mm

synthetic

timber

aluminium

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

CNC machines, standard operating procedures, unprocessesd materials and appropriate work area.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant CNC equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

Required skills

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, basic plans, and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with work supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate quantities and estimate material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate cutting problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the operation of CNC machines, including programs, development of computer applications within the industry and precision measuring devices

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to the operation of CNC machines

identification of machines, processes and procedures

procedures for reporting materials, product or equipment faults

characteristics of materials used and uses of products produced

workplace safety system requirements related to the operation of CNC machines

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.

Unit scope

This unit covers work involved in the set up, operation, adjustment and monitoring of computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines used in the production of picture frame components such as mat boards and frame mouldings and the joining of frames.

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, standards, material safety management systems and local safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, environment legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant regulations and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machines

Work may be performed in workplaces which are involved in the framing of a wide range of items, including, but not limited to: original artwork, reproductions, photographs, documents and three-dimensional items

CNC machines

CNC machines used in the manufacture of picture frame components include, but are not limited to:

CNC mat cutting machines

CNC mitre saws and CNC V-nailers

Material to be machined may include but is not limited to:

mat boards

solid timber

composites

metal and alloy extrusion and synthetics

Personal protection equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices.

Information and procedures

Machine and tooling manufacturer specifications and operational procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of machinery

Work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, programs, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

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.
