Apply knowledge of weaving processes to production requirements

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit applies to the application of weaving knowledge to weaving production processes for the setting up of machines for production changes in an enterprise. Discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision.

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 initiative and enterprise and planning and organising weaving processes for production. This unit also requires problem solving ability to develop, test, evaluate, assess and make modifications to process to meet specification requirements. Communication skills will be used to interpret specifications, determine and conduct samples, assess and discuss results.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to match the weaving process to enterprise equipment and product and customer requirements. Loom set up and operation skills are covered in LMTTX3022A Set up and operate weaving looms for production.

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