Contribute to textile production process improvements

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to providing input to improvement of processes in a range of textile production environments including volume and custom production. This is performed in a supervisory capacity and applies across the range of textile production processes. Skill and knowledge in textile production processes, tools, materials and equipment is essential.

Improvement contributions may be made to any part of the production process such as production practices, documentation, supply, despatch, operator practices, safety, quality, housekeeping.

Work may be self-directed and unsupervised.

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

The application of this unit is in accordance with 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 application of problem solving skills and initiative and enterprise to review production processes and identify opportunities for improvement. Planning and organising skills and communication and teamwork are required to implement change and gain support from other stakeholders. Learning and self management skills will be applied to review appropriateness of own suggestions and make necessary modifications.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to review production processes used in textile manufacture and contribute to identifying and implementing improvements.

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