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!

LMTTX3018A - Undertake electronic fault finding on textile machinery

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

Determine the cause of product fault or textile machinery breakdown

  1. Operator consulted on machine operation and condition prior to breakdown
  2. Visual check is made of textile machinery for any obvious damage or faulty components
  3. Documentation, including schematics relating to machine settings, operation and maintenance is interpreted, referenced and applied according to the needs of the task
  4. Appropriate test equipment is used to test circuits, sensors and other components to determine if fault is electronic in nature
  5. Faulty components are identified and isolated

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 to be considered

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

correctly interpret production specifications, schematics and manufacturer instructions

set and operate textile machinery safely and correctly

perform sample runs and analyse results

identify and make appropriate readjustments to electronic controls and systems

determine root cause of operational problems

solve operational problems

apply workplace health and safety policies in production operations

maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

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

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS 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:
