Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
This unit applies to the modification, customisation and setting of machines for product change working largely independently and being accountable for own results including carrying out assigned tasks, coordinating processes, and setting and working to deadlines. Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as operational workplace activities, restricted space and hazardous, controlled or exposed conditions. Products and materials include those typically used within each sector of the Textile, Clothing, Footwear and Allied industry sectors including: various textile production sectors:
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. The unit is applied according to OHS and workplace practices of the enterprise, which may include:
This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication in the interpretation and documentation of technical information, and planning and organising machine sequencing set up and modification for production. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving will be used to check sample and readjust or confirm machine modifications or settings. |
