Performance Evidence
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit, and must be able to provide evidence of the ability to:
- use measuring instruments at least twice in line with required enterprise intervals to take production measurements including:
- product quality
- delay
- waste
- speed
- tonnage
- throughput
- asset utilisation
- machine efficiency
- estimate and calculate basic measures used in production operations, at least twice in line with required enterprise intervals, including:
- product characteristics - dimensions, weight and volume
- production timelines and processing speed
- use basic operations of arithmetic required for production operations, involving whole numbers, fractions and decimals, including:
- addition
- subtraction
- multiplication
- division
- percentages
- ratios and proportions
- write numerical information accurately and legibly
- record basic workplace data accurately on statistical process charts, production tally sheets and other formats required for the pulp and paper industry
- identify standard faults in measuring instruments
- estimate measures using whole numbers and decimals
- verify estimations against relevant calculations.
Knowledge Evidence
A person competent in this unit must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:
- place value and use of zero
- number systems including integers and mixed numbers, rational numbers (fractions), decimals, percentage
- reasons for estimating
- basic methods of estimation, including rounding
- basic arithmetic, geometric and other measures used in pulp or paper production
- types and purpose of measuring instruments
- methods for taking basic production measurements
- purpose of recording statistical data.
Assessment Conditions
The following resources must be made available:
- access to the full range of equipment involved in estimating and calculating basic data in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility
- sample workplace documentation, procedures and reports including (SOP), quality procedures, environmental sustainability requirements/practices, plant manufacturing operating manuals and enterprise policies and procedures.
