Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTX3010B Monitor textile production processes

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to monitor textile production processes.

The unit of competency applies to ensuring that textile production outcomes are consistent with job specifications, identifying performance parameters, solving problems and conducting checks of performance efficiency.

The unit of competency involves working with discretion, judgement, and initiative on the job either individually or in a team environment, and may include liaison with specialist technicians, including textile mechanics or technicians and production supervisors.

Enterprises covered by this unit will process natural or synthetic source fibres, yarns or textile materials. Production processes covered include, but are not limited to, carding, spinning, knitting, tufting, weaving, finishing, dyeing and non-woven production processes.

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.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTX3010B Monitor textile production processes

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, operating manuals
  • checking job specifications for requirements including quantity, quality, colour and pattern
  • identifying performance parameters
  • monitoring production processes on at least two (2) occasions to ensure they are consistent with specified outcomes and comply with workplace procedures
  • identifying major faults and out-of-specification performance
  • maintaining job records and other documentation
  • identifying faults and trialling immediate or short-term solution, and/or determining permanent solution to eliminate the cause of the problem in consultation with appropriate personnel
  • making regular checks of process operation and assessing results against job specifications
  • recording results of checks and identifying opportunities for process improvements
  • communicating and documenting improvements.

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
  • textile production processes used in an enterprise
  • range of problems and their solutions associated with textile production operations
  • structure of organisation
  • internal and external suppliers
  • internal and external customers
  • raw materials
  • product flow
  • quality standards and practices
  • workplace procedures
  • recording and reporting practices.

Assessment Conditions

  • Assessors must:
