LMTGN3001B
Control production in a section of a textiles, clothing and footwear enterprise
Application
The unit applies to scheduling activities, allocation of resources, monitoring productivity and addressing obstacles to efficiency. It applies to an area of production within an enterprise and within established guidelines. Work would be conducted largely independently and with accountability for own results, including, carrying out assigned tasks, coordinating processes, and setting and working to deadlines. Work may be self-directed and unsupervised. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team 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 the application of skills associated with planning and organising of staff, resources and technology required for a range production tasks. Team work and communication skills are also required to provide instruction on production requirements and interpret and complete production information. This unit also requires an ability to apply problem solving strategies to rectify operational problems. |

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Identify requirements for efficient production | 1.1 Machine operations, staff, resources and production processes within work area are identified. 1.2 Production targets for work area are identified. 1.3 Quality standards and OHS practices for work area are identified. 1.4 Key conditions affecting production are identified. 1.5 Supply and production scheduling requirements for area are identified. |
2 Monitor and assess production efficiency | 2.1 Compliance to specified requirements is checked to ensure efficiency is maintained. 2.2 Non-compliance is identified, reported or recorded and investigated to determine causes. 2.3 Production outcomes are assessed against targets. 2.4 Ongoing monitoring activities are implemented to assess production efficiency. 2.5 Additional information is sought as required to monitor efficiency. |
3 Control production to achieve efficiency targets | 3.1 Production standards are set or interpreted to meet production targets. 3.2 Corrective or preventative action is recommended and implemented. 3.3 Targets and procedures are communicated to relevant personnel in a logical and easily understood manner. 3.4 Supply of resources is managed and ensured as required. 3.5 Maintenance of machinery is scheduled as required. |

Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Critical aspects of evidence | Demonstrates skills and knowledge to: organise machine operations, staff and production processes meet production processes efficiency standards implement appropriate ways of correcting non-compliance and inefficiencies apply techniques to monitor production work monitor changes to production processes apply OHS practices in work operations check production outputs against specifications maintain accurate records |
Consistency in performance | Consistently applies skills and knowledge when: organising work completing tasks according to instructions working systematically with attention to detail identifying improvements and avoiding damage using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions |
Resource implications | Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices. |
Context for assessment | Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. |
Interdependent assessment | This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units. |
Range Statement
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
