• 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
• operating lasting machine and setting machine to meet production requirements
• positioning upper precisely on machine and guiding through pulling and lasting operations
• making adjustments to machine in relation to heat, pressure for pulling and for lasting time, and monitoring lasting machine for correct operations
• operating more than one (1) type of machine or operating a complex machine or process to create at least five (5) lasts
• monitoring machine performance and product quality
• taking appropriate action to address machine faults and product quality
• 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
• machine operations requiring the positioning, feeding and handling of work pieces
• procedures for single or multiple machine operations and processes
• characteristics of typical leathers and how to make allowances for variations
• signs of faulty performance and appropriate action to redress faults
• quality standards and practices
• handling, storage and despatch practices
• safety and environmental aspects of relevant lasting processes
• workplace procedures
• recording and documentation practices.

Assessment Conditions

• Assessors must:

• satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
• have vocational competency in lasting shoes by machine, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

• Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
• Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
• Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
