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 for weighing and checking | 2.1 | Identify fibre, yarns, other materials and products to be weighed and take samples |
| 2.2 | Organise appropriate weighing or measuring equipment and check calibration, as required |
| 2.3 | Apply workplace procedures according to requirements of the work environment |
|
3 | Weigh and check materials and products | 3.1 | Weigh fibre, yarns, raw materials and products accurately, according to material handling and workplace procedures |
| 3.2 | Record and document weights correctly |
| 3.3 | Check yarns, raw materials and products for correct colour, blend and number, if appropriate |
| 3.4 | Check weight of the fibres, yarns, raw materials and textile products against production order |
|
4 | Confirm documentation | 4.1 | Check fibres, yarn, raw materials and product weight, colour and order details against relevant documentation |
| 4.2 | Rectify or report non-compliance, as required |
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
using machines and measuring equipment according to specifications on at least two (2) occasions
calibrating equipment and confirming machines and equipment comply with operational specifications
interpreting technical data
recognising and responding appropriately to fault conditions
testing and adjusting equipment
weighing fibre, yarns, raw materials and products accurately, according to materials handling and workplace procedures, on at least two (2) occasions
checking yarns, raw materials and products for correct colour, blend and number, if appropriate, on at least two (2) occasions
checking weight of the fibres, yarns, raw materials and textile products against production order
checking fibres, yarn, raw materials and product weight, colour and order details against relevant documentation
rectifying or reporting non-compliance, as required.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
operation of weighing and measuring machines and equipment
requirements for recording and documenting equipment readings
care and maintenance of equipment
technical specifications manuals
quality standards and practices
stores and procurement procedures
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 in weighing and checking textile materials and products, 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.
