Supervise footwear production operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to a first line, team leader supervisory role in a team or work area within a footwear production enterprise. The unit requires extensive knowledge and experience in working with footwear production machines, equipment and processes. Supervisory responsibilities include overseeing the team's production quality and throughput, and ensuring training, team relations, resource allocation and work organisation support team productivity.

They include providing technical support to operators, overseeing production processes to ensure they meet organisational and safety standards, and providing communication links between staff and management.

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

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires the application of skills associated with problem solving, initiative and enterprise and planning and organising to provide supervisory support to a work team in order to meet production targets. Communication and team work skills are central to providing leadership in work operations as is the ability to problem solve machinery, technology and operational problems. This unit also requires communication skills to obtain and interpret information and feedback on work operations to ensure optimal production outcomes.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to supervise operations in a designated area within a footwear production enterprise, to ensure team operations meet production requirements.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
