Unit of Competency MSTCL2005 - Use specialised machinery or processes to assist TCF production
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to use specialised machinery to assist in assembly production and completion of garments textiles and other textile products.The unit of competency applies to the skills needed to operate production machinery which is not covered by other textile, clothing or footwear (TCF) production units, such as cutting, button holing, stud, fusing or gluing or backing machines, and others.It does not include:materials handling equipment, such as forkliftsmachines for weaving, spinning, knitting, tufting, creeling, dyeing, packing, folding and finishing operationsthe set-up or maintenance of machinery where such tasks are normally performed by textile mechanics, fitters or electricians.The unit of competency applies to work that may be repetitive and require a limited range of operations. Tasks may be pre-set and the operator must be able to work accurately to achieve required specifications.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency in using specialised machinery or processes to assist assembly production, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
