Unit of Competency LMTTX3007B - Prepare dyes for textile production
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to prepare dyes for use in textile production.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to selecting and preparing dyes to be used in the dyeing of textiles. Judgement may be required in planning and selecting appropriate processes or procedures for self and others.Work may include liaison with specialist technicians from within the workplace and from external suppliers.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 planning and organising for the safe and efficient handling and preparation of dyes. This unit also requires problem solving ability to conduct tests and evaluate dyes and specifications. Communication skills are required to access and apply workplace documentation and dye specifications. Self management skills are applied to ensure workplace and quality standards are achieved.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify properties of textile
  • Specifications and or sample of textile material or product are confirmed with originator or client.
  • End use and performance standards expected of finished product are clarified with appropriate personnel.
  • Sample is analysed to determine type and composition using appropriate techniques, if required.
       
Element: Perform preliminary selection and evaluation of dyes
  • Preliminary selection of dyes and chemicals and auxiliaries is undertaken with reference to specifications and or previous product dyeing references.
  • Expected textile production or reproduction processes are identified based on preliminary dye selection and appropriate personnel advised.
  • Preliminary dye selection is determined for the sample of textile.
  • Dye selections and specification or recipe are trailed using laboratory-based production facilities and results evaluated against requirements of originator or client.
  • Dye selection or recipe is reviewed and retested as required.
  • Approval of preliminary dye specification by originator or client is sought before implementing limited production run.
       
Element: Perform final selection and evaluation of dyes and specification or recipe
  • Sampling and testing techniques are selected appropriate to evaluation of product during limited production run.
  • Tests are implemented using quality standards and OHS practices.
  • Results are analysed and preliminary dye selection/recipe reviewed and retested as required.
  • Dye selection checked against original client specifications and requirements and workplace production process and requirements.
  • Approval of colour specification by originator or client is sought before implementing bulk production run.
  • Environmental requirements and procedures concerned with waste, pollution, storage and recycling of materials are correctly applied at all stages of the process.
       


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 characteristics

establish and confirm criteria for tests

develop and plan tests

ensure tests are conducted against quality standards

apply dye formulas and specifications

communicate effectively with design team, customers, etc.

maintain accurate records

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

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

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:

fibres, yarns and end products and their properties

dyestuffs and classes

chemistry of dyes and relationship with processing and fastness properties

dyeing processes and dyeing machinery

relation between dyeing machinery and selection of dyestuffs/classes

tests applicable to the dyeing of textiles

Australian and international testing standards

application of dyes in laboratory and production process

quality standards and practices

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

use test equipment effectively

analyse and interpret results

perform colour matching

safely handle and dispose of dyes, chemicals and effluent

communicate effectively with individuals, work groups and supervisors

select, interpret and apply procedures and processes

prepare and present reports and information in appropriate formats

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

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.
