Unit of Competency LMTTX2001B - Identify fibres, yarns and textile materials and their uses in textile production
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to identify fibres, yarns and textile materials and how they are used in textile production processes.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to identifying fibres, yarns and textile materials. These include a range of natural and synthetic materials which may be used for spun, knitted, tufted, woven or non-woven products. This unit applies to work conducted in all textile production and finishing processes using fibres, yarns and textile materials.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team related activities.The application of this unit is in accordance with 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 types and characteristics of textiles and textile processing methods. Learning and self management skills are required to apply knowledge of textiles and communication skills are used to explain and describe information about textile properties.
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 to be considered

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

identify textile fibres, yarns and materials

identify quality considerations for fibres, yarns and materials

identify methods of textile product construction

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

Demonstrates knowledge of:

information sources on fibre and yarn identification

fibres, yarns and textile materials used in the workplace

quality standards and practices

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

identify features of fibres, yarns and textile materials

compare fibres, yarns and textile materials to specifications

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

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

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.

Fibres and yarns may include

spun

ply

combo

blended

crimped

monofilament

multifilament

staple spun

technical textiles

Construction processes may include

spinning: a process to make yarn by drafting and twisting staple fibres together to form a single yarn, which is then used for weaving or knitting fabrics or other textile materials

weaving: the interlacement of yarns that cross each other to produce a woven material

knitting: a method of constructing material by interlocking series of loops of one or more yarns

felting: processes to produce a non-woven fabric or material made from wool, hair, or fur and sometimes in combination with certain manufactured fibres, where the fibres are locked together in a process utilising heat, moisture, pressure, mechanical, chemical, thermal or hydro to form a compact material

non-woven: can refer to any material produced direct from fibre where the fibre is bonded or locked together in a process utilising heat, moisture, pressure, mechanical, chemical, thermal or hydro to form a compact material

OHS practices

OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

environmental practices

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.
