Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare work pieces
   • Work bundle is received and checked, and any follow-up action taken.
   • Quality of received component parts is assessed.
   • Work pieces are laid out in correct sequence.
2. Prepare workstation
   • Workbench and seating are set up and prepared according to safety standards and OHS practices.
   • Machines are cleaned and checked.
   • Records are maintained.
3. Prepare machine for operation
   • Lasting machine settings are adjusted according to manufacturer instructions, operator skill, and specifications for work.
   • Adjustments are made to machine in relation to heat, pressure for pulling and for lasting time.
   • Lasting machine is monitored for correct operations.
4. Perform lasting process
   • Upper is positioned precisely on machine and guided through pulling and lasting operations, correct operations are checked and settings adjusted to obtain specified quality outcomes and to reflect construction techniques.
   • Lasting machine is monitored for correct operations.
   • Work is carried out according to OHS practices.
5. Identify poor machine performance
   • Performance of machine is regularly checked for signs of faulty operations.
   • Faults in performance are addressed.
6. Dispatch completed work
   • Work is bundled, stacked and stored or dispatched.
   • Production faults are recorded.
   • Records are completed.
