Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTX5001A Determine textile finishing processes

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to determine appropriate textile finishing processes within a textile manufacturing environment.

The unit of competency applies to the selection of standard textile finishing processes within a textile manufacturing environment to ensure products and processes meet specifications, specified job requirements, and standards of quality and design. Finishing processes and procedures are documented using standard recording 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.
