Unit of Competency MSTTN2001 - Set up and operate a dry laid web forming machine
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to set up and operate dry laid web forming machines used to manufacture non-woven textiles.The unit of competency covers the skills needed for initial start-up and product changeovers of dry laid web forming machines, including machine settings, first-off runs, adjustments and instructions to operators. 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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 setting up and operating a dry laid web forming machine, 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.
