| 3.3 | Identify training needs and communicate with appropriate personnel |
| 3.4 | Address technical problems raised by operators regarding machinery, product quality and operational safety |
| 3.5 | Provide technical support to operators |
|
4 | Supervise team activity | 4.1 | Establish production standards with team members and monitor WHS compliance and workplace procedures |

| 4.3 | Use effective communication skills to communicate targets and procedures to appropriate personnel |
| 4.4 | Monitor and support team communications and relationships |
| 4.5 | Monitor and address movement of materials through operations and production output against targets, as necessary |
|
5 | Maintain communication | 5.1 | Liaise with downstream and upstream areas to ensure quality and efficiency of operations as required |
| 5.2 | Keep management informed of progress and any issues which may affect operation outcomes |
| 5.3 | Maintain ongoing liaison with management to guide operation targets |
| 5.4 | Consult with maintenance staff and management to identify opportunities to minimise down time |
|

| 6.2 | Monitor compliance with documentation requirements |
| 6.3 | Complete enterprise documentation |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safe work practices
applying relevant standards
planning, scheduling and prioritising resources (machines, staff, materials and operation processes)
clarifying and communicating tasks, roles and responsibilities
allocating work for operators/team members
addressing technical problems raised by operators regarding machinery, product quality and operational safety, and providing technical support to operators as required
identifying and reporting problems with work flow
maintaining ongoing liaison upstream and downstream and with management to guide operation targets
monitoring and addressing work allocation requirements, movement of materials through operations and production output in order to maintain optimum production efficiency
supervising and completing enterprise documentation for all stages of production, as required, and monitoring compliance with documentation requirements.
identify and report on skills deficiency in operations
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
production and workflow system in the workplace
factors and constraints that impact on effective workflow
ways of controlling factors and constraints
efficient operation of machines and processes within area of supervision
machinery maintenance requirements
quality assurance standards and procedures
quality standards and practices
effective communication
work health and safety (WHS) practices, including hazard identification and control measures
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency supervising operations in a textiles, clothing and footwear enterprise, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
The unit is applicable to all TCF sectors and assessment must ensure it is delivered to suit the industry it is being applied to.
