List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to monitor textile production procedures | 2.1 | Check job specifications for requirements including quantity, quality, colour and pattern |
| 2.2 | Identify performance parameters to the extent required to be able to report known or suspected problems |
| 2.3 | Monitor production processes to ensure consistency with specified outcomes and comply with workplace procedures |
| 2.4 | Maintain job records and other documentation |
|
3 | Determine problem cause and solution | 3.1 | Identify problems and categorise as either machine or process faults |
| 3.2 | Refer to operating manuals and documentation and determine possible causes of the problems |
| 3.3 | Gather further information to confirm and eliminate possible causes |
| 3.4 | Consult appropriate personnel to confirm causes |
| 3.5 | Determine and trial immediate or short-term solution and/or determine permanent solution to eliminate the cause of the problem in consultation with appropriate personnel |
|
4 | Conduct regular checks of performance | 4.1 | Make regular checks of process operation and assess results against job specifications |
| 4.2 | Record results of checks and identify opportunities for process improvements |
| 4.3 | Communicate and document improvements |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices, operating manuals
checking job specifications for requirements including quantity, quality, colour and pattern
identifying performance parameters
monitoring production processes on at least two (2) occasions to ensure they are consistent with specified outcomes and comply with workplace procedures
identifying major faults and out-of-specification performance
maintaining job records and other documentation
identifying faults and trialling immediate or short-term solution, and/or determining permanent solution to eliminate the cause of the problem in consultation with appropriate personnel
making regular checks of process operation and assessing results against job specifications
recording results of checks and identifying opportunities for process improvements
communicating and documenting improvements.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
textile production processes used in an enterprise
range of problems and their solutions associated with textile production operations
structure of organisation
internal and external suppliers
internal and external customers
raw materials
product flow
quality standards and practices
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in monitoring textile production processes, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
