Perform creeling operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to skills associated with loading cones onto creels in warping or spinning machine or weaving or tufting loom.

Creeling is performed during weaving, wafting, spinning or tufting operations. Yarn requirements are set by textile pattern specifications and may be complex, with numerous cones in operation at any one time.

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 for the safe and efficient use of creeling technology. This unit also requires the ability to check the quality of products, identify and communicate inconsistencies or other problems and complete workplace documentation. Self management skills are applied to ensure workplace and quality standards are achieved.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to perform creeling or beaming operations.

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