Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to install and commission process and machine control system programs in machines and equipment.The unit of competency applies to machines and equipment used within a production workplace using complex textile, clothing and footwear (TCF) production equipment with control systems involving advanced:electronic technologypneumatic technologyhydraulic technologyrobotics technology.Discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes, including liaison with specialist technicians. This unit of competency is applicable to all sectors of the TCF industry.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 installing and commissioning process and machine control systems, 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.
