Set and modify machines for product change

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to the modification, customisation and setting of machines for product change working largely independently and being accountable for own results including carrying out assigned tasks, coordinating processes, and setting and working to deadlines. Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as operational workplace activities, restricted space and hazardous, controlled or exposed conditions.

Products and materials include those typically used within each sector of the Textile, Clothing, Footwear and Allied industry sectors including: various textile production sectors:

early stage wool processing

hide, skin and leather production

canvas fabrication

leather goods production

clothing production

millinery

footwear production

laundries

dry cleaning

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

The unit is applied according to OHS and workplace practices of the enterprise, 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 communication in the interpretation and documentation of technical information, and planning and organising machine sequencing set up and modification for production. Initiative and enterprise and problem solving will be used to check sample and readjust or confirm machine modifications or settings.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to set and modify machines for production change.

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

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Machine sequences can include:

mechanical devices and tools such as:

cams

gears

trip tags

pin boards

patterns and programs for use on microprocessor and computer controlled machines

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
