Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTFP2006B Machine upper according to product requirements

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to machine uppers according to product requirements.

The unit of competency applies to loading, guiding and unloading a range of machine types to sew shoe uppers. It includes guided and freehand sewing. Sewing includes corners, curves, complex shapes, and contouring and joining of different materials. Sewing techniques include those where the positioning, feeding and handling of work pieces involves discretional changes, contouring or critical stopping points, or involving the special handling skills required to accommodate variations in materials and meet product requirements.

Work is conducted according to defined procedures.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:

  • reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
  • applying relevant standards
  • preparing workstation and work before commencing operations
  • checking work against ticket information, quality requirements and workplace procedures
  • loading, guiding and unloading one or more types to sew shoe uppers
  • applying machining techniques on at least (5) five upper pairs, involving sewing corners, curves, complex shapes, and contouring and joining of different materials
  • operating one (1) or more of relevant machines in the workplace
  • monitoring machine performance
  • taking appropriate action to address faults
  • packing, storing and despatching work according to workplace procedures
  • applying work health and safety (WHS) practices in work operations
  • maintaining accurate records.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • relevant Australian Standards
  • one or more of relevant machines in the workplace
  • the loading, guiding and unloading techniques of a range of machine types to sew shoe uppers
  • upper assembly processes and machines requiring the positioning, feeding and handling of work pieces
  • techniques for accurately sewing complex shapes, around corners, curves and contouring
  • guided and freehand sewing procedures for the range of relevant machines
  • machine operating procedures
  • characteristics of typical leathers, fabrics, threads and other materials used in basic assembly and machining of uppers
  • signs of faulty performance and appropriate action to redress faults
  • quality standards and practices
  • handling, storage and despatch practices
  • WHS and environmental aspects of relevant upper assembly and machining processes
