Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MEM04010B - Develop and manufacture wood patterns

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine job requirements

  1. Job instructions and specifications are interpreted correctly.
  2. Type of wood pattern required is determined through application of moulding/casting techniques and foundry processes.
  3. Appropriate timber/timber composites are selected to meet specification.
Job instructions and specifications are interpreted correctly.

Develop and lay out wood patterns

  1. Pattern parameters are calculated to specification e.g. angles, tapers, clearances, contractions etc.
  2. Pattern is laid out showing tapers, machining allowances, core prints and method of construction to specification.
  3. Jigs and fixtures are developed and manufactured to aid wood pattern manufacture as required.
Pattern parameters are calculated to specification e.g. angles, tapers, clearances, contractions etc.

Manufacture wood patterns

  1. Materials are marked out and construction is developed to meet specification.
  2. Using acceptable wood pattern making techniques and procedures, and utilising appropriate hand and handheld power tools, pattern or pattern component parts are produced to size and shape and checked for conformance to specifications.
  3. Using acceptable wood pattern making techniques and procedures, pattern component parts are joined or fixed as required and checked for conformance to specification.
  4. Pattern is correctly marked, colour coded or tagged to specifications or standard operating procedures.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both. Where assessment occurs off the job, i.e. the candidate is not in productive work, then appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with developing and manufacturing wood patterns or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

Method of assessment

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

reading/interpreting/following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other documents

undertaking numerical operations, geometry and calculations/formulae within the scope of this unit

selecting appropriate timber to suit the moulding/casting techniques and foundry process

laying out the pattern/core boxes

constructing patterns/core boxes

joining and fixing component parts

pattern checking

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

timber products including features, characteristics and applications

moulding and casting techniques

tooling required for casting/moulding

methoding techniques

the use and application of jigs and fixtures

methods of construction

the formulae and mathematical techniques required for necessary manufacturing of patterns/core boxes i.e. contraction, taper, clearances, machining allowances etc.

identification coding and numbering

pattern checking techniques

mouldability i.e. surface finish, face taper, convex or concave perspectives, undercuts, etc.

use and application of personal protective equipment

safe work practices and procedures

hazards and control measures associated with the development and manufacture of wood patterns

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.

Moulding/casting techniques

The variety of sand moulding techniques and sand mediums

Timber/timber composites

Hardwood, softwood, laminates, plywood, veneers and bonded fibreboard

Calculations

Calculations include the determination of contraction rates, as well as general engineering calculations

Joining and fixing
