NQF Level 2

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD This Unit Standard constitutes one of the main activities of a learner at this level within the automotive components or related environment. The learner will operate a machine either within the manufacturing or assembly departments within this sector. The learner will also monitor both the performance of the machine during the manufacturing or assembly process and the quality of the products or components. The efficient operation of the manufacturing or assembly process depends heavily on the acquisition of the competencies in this Unit Standard. Learners credited with this standard will be able to: • Demonstrate knowledge relating to planning, operating and monitoring of machine in an automotive components or related environment. • Plan to operate machine in an automotive components or related environment. • Prepare consumables and machine for use. • Operate machine in an automotive components or related environment. • Monitor the manufacturing or assembly machine. • Work safely with due care for self, fellow workers, equipment, materials and the environment.

UNIT STANDARD RANGE • The automotive components environment includes both the manufacturing and assembly departments or sections. • This Unit Standard is not restricted to the automotive environment. It can be used in any component assembly or manufacturing context. • 'Production process' includes both manufacturing and assembly. • Monitoring at this level is at the basic level (verification).

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING • Communication at NQF Level 1. • Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 1.

Critical Cross-field Outcomes (CCFO)

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Demonstrating Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognising that the problem-solving contexts do not exist in isolation when engaging with deviations and changes during the production processes.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Science Use science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility towards the environment and the health of others by: • Preparing and using the machine according to manufacturer's instructions.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Communicating Communicate effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills in the modes of oral and/or written presentation to: • Prepare the machine for an efficient manufacturing/assembly process. • Ensure a smooth manufacturing/assembly process.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Collecting Collect, analyse, organise and critically evaluate information to: • Solve problems by making adjustments to machine before and during operation. • Deal with changes and deviations.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Organising Organise and manage oneself and one's activities responsively and effectively when: • Interpreting production schedules. • Checking consumables, machine and tools. • Monitoring material flow and consumption of consumables and making adjustments. • Ensuring and maintaining health and safety.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Working Work effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organisation and community to: • Ensure that machine and activities facilitate the production process.

UNIT STANDARD CCFO Identifying Identify and solve problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical and creative thinking have been made when: • Monitoring consumption of consumables and making adjustments.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 6 Work safely with due care for self, fellow workers, equipment, materials and the environment.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 6 Environmental protection procedures and policies are applied to ensure safety within the production context and beyond.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 5 The implications of not maintaining a safe working environment are explained in terms of possible loss of life or injury.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 Personal protective equipment is used as per standard operating procedures.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 Machines and materials are used according to instructions to eliminate danger to self and fellow workers.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 Hazardous materials are identified and dealt with according to standard operating procedures.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 Hazardous conditions are identified and reported to appropriate personnel so that the risks can be eliminated or minimised.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 5 Monitor the production process.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 4 The importance of accurately recording information related to work schedules, activities and equipment in the production process is explained in terms of preventing future breakdowns and delays in production.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 3 Problems pertaining to the product are recorded and reported as soon as possible to maintain the production process.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 Problems and/or deviations during operation of the machine are identified, recorded and reported according to standard operating procedures.
