Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to identify rework requirements, select appropriate materials and equipment to undertake reworking, and rework a product to meet specifications, during production or assembly phases.
This unit applies to an individual working alone or as part of a team.
The unit principally refers to the support of a production process in composites or rotational moulding (rotomoulding).
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

What You'll Learn

1.

  • 1.1 Read and interpret original product specifications and work order documentation
  • 1.3 Select technology according to technology specifications and reworking requirements
  • 1.4 Identify and assemble required equipment and set reworking method
  • 1.5 Plan work process stages including work sequences and durations within each stage, and engineering controls and required personal protective equipment (PPE) following established workplace procedures
  • 1.6 Design time-efficient and economical reworking processes that achieve quality standards and match workplace operating procedures

2.

  • 2.1 Identify and eliminate sources of contamination in preparation for reworking
  • 2.3 Perform reworking on identified areas of product and check for conformity according to job specifications and typical quality measures

3.

  • 3.1 Clean, inspect and store equipment used for reworking according to equipment specifications for serviceable condition and storage, and according to workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Clean work area and apply waste management and recycling strategies
  • 3.4 Assemble and sort reworked products for delivery to other work sections
  • 3.5 Accurately record product data

4.

  • 4.1 Recognise process control variances and their causes
  • 4.3 Accurately maintain records and logbooks

Assessment Requirements

Performance Evidence

There must be evidence the candidate has completed the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit, and demonstrated the ability to:
rework product imperfections at least once to meet product and quality specifications.

Knowledge Evidence

There must be evidence the candidate has knowledge of:
• product quality requirements and quality management procedures
• product defect classifications
• the methods used to communicate original product specifications and work order documentation
• product reworking methods, workflow sequences and materials for common defects
• tools and equipment typically used in the reworking of product imperfections, including basic hand tools, power or air tools, and plastic or other filling compounds
• key variables that affect the feasibility of repairing defects and results of reworking
• sources of contamination that may affect repairs and how to eliminate them
• methods of surface preparation
• types, applications and compositions of common repair materials
• typical quality standards required in original products and as the result of reworking
• typical product defects, and their early warning signs, possible causes and corrective actions
• typical problems that may arise, including:
• inappropriate filling materials being selected and used
• effect of environment on curing times
• separation of filling and parent materials
• organisational procedures relevant to the work environment or job role
• hazards that may arise in the job or work environment, and:
• their possible causes
• potential consequences
• appropriate risk controls.

Assessment Conditions

Skills must have been demonstrated in the workplace or in a simulated environment that reflects workplace conditions and contingencies.
Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
