MSS402031 Interpret product costs in terms of customer requirements

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MSS402031A Interpret product costs in terms of customer requirements

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required by an individual to be able to identify the major cost components of either products or processes, the basic relationship of these to customer benefit, and use this to help minimise waste (defined as anything not delivering value as defined by the customer). It has a different focus to MSS402030 Apply cost factors to work practices, which focuses on costs in isolation, whereas this unit regards all costs not directly leading to customer benefit as waste.

This unit applies to an individual who uses their understanding of the customer's requirements of the product or process being undertaken as the basis for investigating work processes to identify waste sources and then takes action relevant to their level of competency and authority to reduce this waste. It requires an understanding of both the cost factors in the products they make and also the benefits which the customer derives from the product.

This competency may be performed individually or in a team-based environment.

This unit requires the application of skills associated with analysis and problem solving to identify waste and determine ways to minimise waste. This unit requires initiative and enterprise and application of learning in concepts of waste and waste minimisation.

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

Modification History

Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to LMTTN2006B Identify purpose and performance outcomes of technical textile product

Application

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify the purpose and desired performance characteristics of a technical textile or non-woven product.

The unit of competency applies to the identification of the purpose and performance characteristics of textiles that have been manufactured for special technical purposes. A technical textile may be produced by a technical finish on a normal yarn or fabric or composed of a specially made technical yarn or fabric.

The unit of competency applies to employees who are required to have a basic understanding of the product being manufactured, such as team leaders and senior operators with responsibility for explaining the enterprise's products to visitors and other employees. The unit does not cover knowledge of the technical textile requiring special scientific or engineering study.

A technical textile is generally not clothing, carpet or a furnishing product unless a specific technical feature beyond what is normally found in clothing, carpet or furnishing has been added. An example would be special fire-retardant clothing.

Applications of technical textiles may be for medical, hygiene, sporting, transportation, construction, agricultural and other purposes. The technical textile may be used as a stand-alone product or incorporated into another product. The technical textile application may occur as a result of new materials, new processes and new applications that result in the textile having the desired technical performance characteristic.

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.
