Application
This unit applies to the creation of original designs and editing of designs for production of digital embroidery effects on a wide range of garments and fabrics. This unit requires the use of computers. If training in the use of computers is required then the unit: LMTGN2009B Operate computing technology in a TCF workplace should also be selected. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related 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 skills in communication to interpret specifications and in problem solving, planning and organising and initiative and enterprise in order to create designs that reflect brief requirements. Self management skills are applied to ensure work meets quality guidelines. Skills in using embroidering technology are also required. |
