List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to manage technical process | 2.1 | Interpret resources and procedures requirements of technical process |
| 2.2 | Confirm schedules and technical resources with relevant personnel |
| 2.3 | Clarify process and safety requirements, where necessary |
| 2.4 | Allocate roles and responsibilities for work activities |
|
3 | Implement technical process | 3.1 | Monitor technical process and where required provide guidance |
| 3.2 | Monitor process parameters to ensure conformance to requirements |
| 3.3 | Monitor safety associated with the process, including chemical handling |
|
4 | Resolve process problems | 4.1 | Facilitate meetings or discussions to identify methods to solve process problems |
| 4.2 | Use knowledge of process improvement and technical systems to systematically identify and resolve process problems |
| 4.3 | Recommend and document preferred option to resolve the problem |
| 4.4 | Facilitate implementation of the recommended problem resolution option |
|
5 | Monitor process improvements and variations | 5.1 | Monitor process improvements and variations to ensure outcome meets specifications, production schedule and workplace requirements |
| 5.2 | Collate and analyse data to evaluate the effectiveness of process improvements or variations |
| 5.3 | Record and report outcomes to relevant personnel |
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
interpreting resources and procedures requirements of technical process, and confirming schedules and technical resources with relevant personnel
allocating tasks and roles to relevant personnel and matching personnel to tasks and roles
facilitating problem solving associated with process variations
analysing process parameters
monitoring safety, including chemical handling
monitoring process improvements and variations to ensure outcome meets specifications, production schedule and workplace requirements
collating and analysing data to evaluate the effectiveness of process improvements or variations
maintaining accurate records.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
industry and product and technical processes and equipment and resources
technical processes of relevant sector: for tanning or processing hides, skins or leather; manufacturing fibres, yarns or fabrics; and dying finishing or printing textile products
technical and specified process parameters
characteristics of raw materials and their properties
processing, measurement, matches (dyes and finishes)
monitoring processes and procedures
quality standards and manual handling procedures
work health and safety (WHS) and environmental aspects of relevant processes, including use of chemicals
workplace procedures and reporting and documentation processes and procedures
chemical processes relating to production
WHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures
safe handling of chemicals
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 in managing technical processes, 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.
