Unit of Competency LMTTD6004A - Create and produce textile designs for commercial production
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to design and produce textile products for commercial production
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to the analysis of commercial market opportunities and development of design brief leading to development of product design and production of textile product sample. Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related 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 communications skills associated with conducting market research, developing design brief and specifications, presenting and explaining designs, interpreting production requirements and testing and evaluating design and production processes. Technology is applied during the design and production process when using computer aided design systems and production technologies. Problem solving, initiative and enterprise and planning and organising are central to the design development and production process. Teamwork skills are required to refine design concepts with design team.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

  • Textile sample is produced according to plan and OHS practices
       
Element: Test product sample to evaluate design and production processes
  • Textile sample is evaluated against design specifications and design brief.
  • Textile sample is tested to ensure quality and performance standards are met
  • Design is evaluated to determine necessary modifications.
  • Production process is evaluated to determine necessary improvements
  • Overall evaluation of design and process is confirmed and process and improvements documented.
       
Element: Finalise textile design
  • Evaluation of textile sample design and process is discussed with design team and production personnel
  • Modifications to design and production process are incorporated into design
  • Final design is confirmed and documented
       


Evidence Required

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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

completing work systematically with attention to detail and without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements
