Unit of Competency MSTGN6005 - Manage production processes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to manage a production facility in a textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) workplace.This unit of competency applies to managing production in a TCF workplace where judgement is required in planning, technical or supervisory activities related to operations or processes in substantially non-routine situations. The unit of competency is applied under limited guidance in line with a broad plan, budget or strategy as part of the major functional area or in highly specialised situations requiring a range of skills. 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 managing production processes, 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.
