Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

LMTTN2011B - Undertake fibre blending and feeding for nonwoven technical production processes

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Check and identify raw fibres

  1. Production specifications are checked to identify fibres required for carding operation.
  2. Raw fibres are identified for compliance to fibre production specification.
  3. Checks are carried out as necessary to determine compliance with production requirements.
  4. Non-conforming or defective fibre batches are reported.
Production specifications are checked to identify fibres required for carding operation.

Blend fibres

  1. Fibres are selected and blended according to production specification.
  2. Additives are loaded where required.
  3. Fibres are correctly loaded into carding machine.
  4. Blending is conducted according to OH&S practices.
  5. Blending is monitored to ensure blending consistency and feed uniformity.
  6. Waste is sorted.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

check machine settings to meet production requirements

monitor and operate carding machine involving defined procedures and methods

make minor adjustments

check product samples against quality standards

load and unload products according production requirements

complete records accurately and completely

apply OH&S practices in work operations

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

• organising work

• completing tasks according to instructions

• working systematically with attention to detail

• identifying improvements and avoiding damage

• using workplace practices

• using OH&S practices

• recording and reporting accidents and incidents

• assessing operational readiness of equipment

• recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OH&S practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

fibre types and basic characteristics

blending and feeding processes

technical specifications, manuals and operating instructions

quality standards and procedures

OH&S practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

check machine safety equipment and report any faults

prepare fibre for carding

load and unload materials according to machine and workplace practices

start and stop machines according to specifications

monitor machine operations, including machine production readings

recognise, rectify and report machine faults or problems as required

clean machines as required

check machine maintenance records

check and confirm compliance to operational specifications

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OH&S practices

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Fibres include

natural and synthetic fibres

Fibre production specification may include

fibre types, including:
