Application
Drawings are to include assembly type components which are hand drawn and may include computer-aided drawings. Work requires individuals to demonstrate judgement and problem-solving skills in managing own work activities and contributing to a productive team environment. |
Prerequisites
Not applicable.

Required Skills
Required skills |
collect, organise and understand information research and interpretive skills to locate, interpret and apply drawing production techniques and procedures English literacy and communication skills in relation to dealing with others involved in design work questioning and active listening skills, for example when obtaining information of technical quality working practices and drawing production procedures apply planning and organising skills to one's own work activities, including making good use of time and resources, sorting out priorities and monitoring one's own performance interact effectively with other people both on a one-to-one basis and in groups, including understanding and responding to the needs of a client and working effectively as a member of a team to achieve a shared goal establish safe and effective work processes which anticipate and/or resolve problems and downtime, to systematically develop solutions to avoid or minimise reworking and avoid wastage use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly calculate time, assess tolerances, apply accurate measurements, calculate material requirements and establish quality checks use workplace technology related to the production of drawings, including the use of measuring equipment and communication devices and the reporting/documenting of results |
Required knowledge |
A working knowledge of: WHS regulations/requirements, equipment, material and personal safety requirements common automotive terminology and vehicle safety requirements design and techniques for translating concepts into form design standards, including Australian Design Rules technical drawing procedures detailed site reporting procedures work organisation and planning processes enterprise quality processes |
Evidence Required
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. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | It is essential that competence in this unit signifies ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual circumstances in the critical aspects of: observing safety procedures and requirements communicating effectively with others involved in or affected by the work selecting methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances completing preparatory activity in a systematic manner interpreting specifications and measurements in two and three dimensional form presenting information within production drawings completing essential post-activity housekeeping |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | Application of competence is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated worksite Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints Assessment is to comply with regulatory requirements, including Australian Standards The following resources should be made available: workplace location or simulated workplace material relevant to the production of drawings equipment, hand and power tooling appropriate to the production of drawings activities covering mandatory task requirements specifications and work instructions |
Method of assessment | Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the automotive industry's RS&R Training Package Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies Assessment may be applied under project related conditions and require evidence of process Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competence is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances It is preferable that assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying quality circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role |
Range Statement
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. | |
