Operate in a complex textile production environment

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the operation or application of textile production processes across different production areas within a complex work environment.

Complex environments are defined as those where the operator must demonstrate competence in the skill and knowledge of different production areas in a manner that is consistent with the organisation's overall processes and quality systems.

The unit builds upon technical skill and knowledge for operating machines or applying textile production processes such as carding, spinning, knitting, tufting, weaving, finishing, dyeing and nonwoven production processes which are covered in other individual units.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team related activities.

The application of this unit is in accordance with 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 problem solving, initiative and enterprise and planning and organising in order to work effectively in a range of work environments. It requires leaning and self management skills to adapt to new processes and structures and communication and team work skills in order to work effectively with others.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to work in a textile production environment that requires the application of skill and knowledge across multiple production work areas.

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