Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to operate and monitor a machine and process and applies to a range of production operations or continuous processes.The work is performed in accordance with clear step-by-step instructions and procedures documented on job sheets or similar process instruction documents.Operational adjustments to the machine or process by the operator are made using external controls. Basic operation (excluding setting and tool adjustments) of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines is also covered by this unit.Where operational maintenance is required to be performed unit MEM07001 Perform operational maintenance of machines/equipment should also be selected.Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where 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 engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.This unit should not be selected with any of the following units unless the skills of this unit are being applied to an additional and different type of machine and or process: MEM04001 Operate melting furnacesMEM04002 Perform gravity die castingMEM04003 Operate pressure die casting machineMEM04006 Operate sand moulding and core making machinesMEM06001 Perform hand forgingMEM06002 Perform hammer forgingMEM08001 Perform wire, jig and barrel load/unload workMEM08004 Finish work using wet, dry and vapour deposition methodsMEM08008 Operate and control surface finishing waste treatment processNo licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 4

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.

Machine/process uses include one (1) or more of the following:

pressing

punching

plastic moulding

extruding

bending

joining

rolling

forming

drawing

metal removal

pickling

cylinder filling

printing

painting

Production data includes one (1) or more of the following:

production schedules

job sheets

checklists

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.
