Elements and Performance Criteria

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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below. Add any 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.
Unit scope
Work involves the identification, selection and use of computer-aided techniques and capabilities, including three-dimensional modelling, exploded assembly drawings and conversion of drawings for CNC applications
Activities may include:
researching software trends and developments
generating and presenting ideas
liaising with client and/or other functional areas
compiling information
Unit context
OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures
Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, organisation insurance requirements, OHS legislation, environmental legislation, manual handling procedures and relevant health regulations
Work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual, analytical and organisational ability, judgement and problem solving skills
Workplace environment
The competency can refer to enterprise and client initiated ideas or requests
The competency is applied under broad guidance within routine and non-routine situations
Information and procedures
Customer requirements
Work specifications
Product catalogues and style manuals or equivalent
Inventory systems and records
Organisation work procedures and sequencing arrangements
Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to the product
Quality and Australian standards and procedures

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence
Locate, access and interpret all required information
Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment
Create a minimum of two exploded assembly drawings, including:
preparation of three-dimensional models
creation of perspective views
exploding the models to expose all components
labelling of all components
management and storage of drawings
Create a minimum of two confirmed job sheets which have the necessary orthographic views, and all required management and inventory information
Convert a minimum of two drawings for CNC application, including the creation of layers, assignment of drawing entities and the protection and storage of converted files
Work effectively with others
Resource implications
Access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the application of drawing and drafting techniques and to the related computing, operational and inventory support systems
This includes real or simulated concepts, work areas, materials, equipment and information on work specifications, customer requirements, organisation procedures, relevant safety procedures and regulations and quality standards

Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency, or the potential for consistency, of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment may be conducted over time and in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant task requirements, work instructions and deadlines.
