Unit of Competency MSTGN3001 - Control production in a section of a TCF enterprise
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge to control operations within a section of a textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) enterprise, to ensure production is efficient and meets established targets.The unit of competency applies to scheduling activities, allocation of resources, monitoring productivity and addressing obstacles to efficiency. It applies to an area of production within an enterprise and work within established guidelines.Work would be conducted largely independently and with accountability for own results, including, carrying out assigned tasks, coordinating processes, and setting and working to deadlines.This unit of competency is applicable to all sectors of the TCF industry.Work may be self-directed and unsupervised.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 controlling production in a section in a TCF enterprise, 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.

The unit is applicable to all TCF sectors and assessment must ensure it is delivered to suit the industry it is being applied to.
