Unit of Competency LMTTN2006B - Identify purpose and performance outcomes of technical textile product
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to identify the purpose and desired performance characteristics of a technical textile or non-woven product.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to the identification of the purpose and performance characteristics of textiles that have been manufactured for special technical purposes. A technical textile may be produced by a technical finish on a normal yarn or fabric or composed of a specially made technical yarn or fabric.The unit applies to employees who are required to have a basic understanding of the product being manufactured such as team leaders and senior operators with responsibility for explaining the enterprise's products to visitors and other employees. The unit does not cover knowledge of the technical textile requiring special scientific or engineering study.A technical textile is generally not a clothing, carpet or furnishing product unless a specific technical feature beyond what is normally found in clothing, carpet or furnishing has been added. An example would be special fire retardant clothing.Applications of technical textiles may be for medical, hygiene, sporting, transportation, construction, agricultural and other purposes. The technical textile may be used as a stand-alone product or incorporated into another product. The technical textile application may occur as a result of new materials, new processes and new applications that result in the textile having the desired technical performance characteristic.Work 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 skills associated with problem solving to identify and determine purpose and performance features of technical textiles. Learning and self management skills are required to expand and apply knowledge of technical textiles and communication skills are used to explain and describe features and processes.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

identify primary purpose of technical textile

identify application area of technical textile

identify intended performance of the technical textile

identify manufacturing process for the technical textile

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks according to instructions

working systematically with attention to detail

identifying improvements and avoiding damage

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

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

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

purpose, manufacturing process and performance characteristics of technical textiles

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

communicate within the workplace

identify operation sequence

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Purpose includes

the technical effect desired to be achieved by the textile product as well as the application industry or sector that uses the product. Technical effects may include:

abrasion resistance

low or high permeability to gases and liquids

flame retardant

low flammability

resistance to chemicals

protection against sunlight caused weathering

oxidation resistance

fire resistance or protection

water-repellent finish

anti-static finish

anti-microbial and anti-fungal property

non-shrink properties

electrical conductivity or insulation

phase change as in fibres that can alter according to external conditions such as temperature

conversion of light to heat

bio compatibility

Application industries and sectors may include:

transport

industrial products and components

medical and hygiene products

domestic equipment and furnishings, eg fibrefill and insulation applications

clothing components, eg threads and interlinings

agriculture, horticulture and fishing

construction and engineering

packaging and containment

sport and leisure equipment and performance fabric and clothing

geo-textiles

protective and safety clothing and textiles

monofilament fibres for computer technologies

Performance means

the type and extent of the technical effect of the textile product being manufactured and the conditions under which the performance of the textile product meets specifications. Examples would be:

an air filter fabric that removes contaminants of a certain size subject to regular cleaning

an insulation material that is effective within a set temperature range

impact resistant clothing that is effective against set types of projectiles

Process

The technical textile manufacturing process may be based on using special technical fibres or yarns, or a finishing process to a woven, knitted or non-woven textile. Processes used may include:

plaiting

knotting

weaving

warp and weft knitting

stitchbonding

braiding

dry laid and spun bond non-woven manufacturing

calendering

raising

cropping

compressive shrinking

heat setting

coating

laminating

fusing

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
