Unit of Competency MSTTX3010 - Monitor textile production processes
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to monitor textile production processes. The unit of competency applies to ensuring that textile production outcomes are consistent with job specifications, identifying performance parameters, solving problems and conducting checks of performance efficiency.The unit of competency involves working with discretion, judgement, and initiative on the job either individually or in a team environment, and may include liaison with specialist technicians, including textile mechanics or technicians and production supervisors.Enterprises covered by this unit will process natural or synthetic source fibres, yarns or textile materials. Production processes covered include, but are not limited to, carding, spinning, knitting, tufting, weaving, finishing, dyeing and non-woven production processes.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 monitoring textile 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.
