You are working as a final year apprentice in a medium-
sized engineering company. Your manager is pleased with
your work and has decided that you should be given some
more responsibility. He wants you to become part of a
small team that will manufacture a batch bevel gauges
using a different approach to that normally employed by
the company.
Your manager wants you to work with colleagues to
organise the team and set targets. He is also expecting you
Vocational Scenario or and your colleagues to interpret technical documentation
Context and to safely and effectively manufacture a batch of bevel
gauges by setting up engineering processes correctly and
reviewing progress against team targets. All members of
the team will be expected to take on the role of team
leader at certain points, and your manager will be
observing how well you can manage your own
contributions, as the company are considering using a
similar approach for other products and are mindful of
possible training needs.
You are going to carry out engineering processes
Task 1 safely to manufacture a bevel gauge effectively as
part of a team.
To do this:
, Your tutor will provide you and your team with a range of
technical documentation (such as engineering drawings,
production plans and specifications) that will detail the
bevel gauge and the batch size.
You then need to:
• Take an active role when meeting with other team
members prior to the manufacture of a batch of bevel
gauges to plan effectively and set team targets, and to
record who is responsible and accountable for each aspect
of the work required;
• Take an active role when meeting with other team
members during the manufacture of a batch of bevel
gauges to review team roles and responsibilities, targets
and timings;
• Take on the role of team leader when requested to do so
by your assessor;
• Complete independently a risk assessment for one of the
engineering processes you will be using;
• Interpret the given technical documentation to
effectively and independently set up at least one
engineering process and to carry out engineering activities
safely in order to manufacture a batch of bevel gauges as
part of a team;
• Independently carry out quality checks and keep quality
records that can be used to inform team progress;
• Make effective progress towards team targets and
provide and respond to peer feedback as a team member
and a team leader; and
