Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to participate in product engineering in a textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF) enterprise.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify and confirm specifications
  • 1.1 Sample material or product is examined to confirm structure
  • 1.2 Detail of structure or composition is documented, where required, to assist in production planning
2 Identify options for production
  • 2.1 Evaluation of material or product structure is conducted to identify options for production
  • 2.2 Options are assessed to determine most effective and efficient method of production, ensuring highest quality and yield from raw materials, and ease of production
  • 2.3 Options and recommendations are documented in accordance with workplace practices and OHS practices
3 Identify potential machine or production changes
  • 3.1 Existing resources, machines, production techniques and scheduling arrangements are examined in relation to the production requirements
  • 3.2 Any potential requirements for change are identified and documented in accordance with workplace practices
4 Prepare cost estimates
  • 4.1 Material requirements and economic batch sizes are identified
  • 4.2 Labour hours, times and other statistics required are identified and estimates made
  • 4.3 Available machine hours are determined and estimates made, where required
  • 4.4 Overall costs are estimated and documented in accordance with workplace practices
5 Maintain records
  • 5.1 Production planning records are maintained and reports prepared, where necessary, in accordance with workplace 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.
Legislative/regulatory requirements
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Method of production may include:
JIT
VAM
quick response
quality circles,
team processes
benchmarking
Cost estimating may include:
written bill of labour, order of work or plant sample
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
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
Demonstratesskills and knowledge to:
confirm specifications
assess options for method of production
establish potential machine and production changes
estimate costs
apply OHS practices in production operations
maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance
Consistentlyapplies 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.
