| Description: | This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to operate and monitor a machine and process and applies to a range of production operations or continuous processes.
The work is performed in accordance with clear step-by-step instructions and procedures documented on job sheets or similar process instruction documents.
Operational adjustments to the machine or process by the operator are made using external controls. Basic operation (excluding setting and tool adjustments) of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines is also covered by this unit.
Where operational maintenance is required to be performed unit MEM07001 Perform operational maintenance of machines/equipment should also be selected.
Where the interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.
Where production packaging and labelling of the finished goods or product is required unit MEM11006 Perform production packaging should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of engineering measurement is required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.
Where the selection and use of tools is required unit MEM18001 Use hand tools and unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations, should also be selected as appropriate.
This unit should not be selected with any of the following units unless the skills of this unit are being applied to an additional and different type of machine and or process:
MEM04001 Operate melting furnaces
MEM04002 Perform gravity die casting
MEM04003 Operate pressure die casting machine
MEM04006 Operate sand moulding and core making machines
MEM06001 Perform hand forging
MEM06002 Perform hammer forging
MEM08001 Perform wire, jig and barrel load/unload work
MEM08004 Finish work using wet, dry and vapour deposition methods

- MEM17003 Assist in the provision of on-the-job training
-
| CIT Code: | MFAB243 |
| Cost: | Apprentice $100.00 |
| Credit Points: | 2 |
| Description: | This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to assist in the provision of on-the-job training to others while undertaking normal duties and it may involve the replacement of normal duties with training duties for limited periods of time. The individual would not be expected to be solely responsible for the assessment or reporting of a trainee's progress. Typical applications could include the provision of on-the-job training by a tradesperson to apprentices/trainees or by a production worker to other production workers/trainees.Where the development of training programs is required unit MEM17001 Assist in development and deliver training in the workplace should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 2 |

- MEM09009 Create 2-D drawings using computer-aided design system
-
| CIT Code: | MFAB231 |
| Cost: | Apprentice $265.00 |
| Credit Points: | 8 |
| Description: | This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce 2-D drawings using a computer-aided design (CAD) system. Skills include producing linked bills of material, file management and associated customisation of installed software, including the use of macros, menus and default settings. 2-D drawings can be produced from 3-D models created using CAD system. The unit primarily applies to the fields of mechanical, electrical or electronic, fabrication and fluid power. This unit covers CAD skills only. Where detail drafting skills are required see the following units: MEM09004 Perform electrical or electronic detail drafting, MEM09005 Perform basic engineering detail drafting, MEM09006 Perform advanced engineering detail drafting. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
