Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to work orders basic plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications coordination of work with work supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any backtracking workflow interruptions or wastage

work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate work requirements optimise component and material sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials

use prechecking and inspection techniques to plan work avoiding reworking and wastage

use the workplace technology related to the measuring cutting and sewing of canvas and acrylics

Required knowledge

procedure for reporting damaged or imperfect products or interruption to workflow

workflow requirements for cutting and sewing process

operation of work systems and cutting and sewing equipment

characteristics of the materials used and the application of the finished products

causes of faults and repair methods

identification of equipment processes and procedures

quality systems and standards

workplace procedures

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Critical aspects of evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Identify and select materials used and any special handling requirements for those materials

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

As a minimum

measure cut and sew one canvas product and one acrylic product

apply binding as an edge finish to a curve and three corners metres in length

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Appropriate measuring tapes cutting table scissors blades and cutting machines sewing machine work orders operating procedures materials and threads

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Unit scope

Unit context

Machines may include, but are not limited to:

Materials to be machined may include but are not limited to:

Personal protective equipment
