Unit of Competency LMTLG3006A - Apply pattern specifications to saddlery products
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to apply pattern specifications to the production of saddlery products.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the interpretation of pattern specifications, checking against client needs, modifying the pattern where necessary and applying this pattern to the production of a saddlery product such as a saddle, bridle or saddle blanket. Competence must be demonstrated in working largely independently and being accountable for own results including:carrying out assigned taskscoordinating processessetting and working to deadlinesWork may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skill associated with interpreting and applying customer saddlery requirements. This unit also requires an ability to plan and organise production and resource requirements and apply problem solving skills to ensure efficient production of saddlery products. Self management and planning and organising skills are used to ensure work complies with workplace requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
