Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to evaluate equipment and systems in terms of their potential application for specific requirements in a textiles clothing or footwear (TCF) workplace.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine production requirements
- 1.1 Steps required for production processes are identified and flow charts produced, where necessary according to OHS practices
- 1.2 Tooling, machinery and equipment requirements for production are ascertained and documented
2 Gather data and specifications
- 2.1 Equipment requirements are determined and potential equipment and systems are identified
- 2.2 Appropriate data on equipment and systems and their performance is obtained and compiled
- 2.3 Equipment and systems specifications are identified and interpreted
3 Evaluate equipment or system against requirements
- 3.1 Equipment or system options are determined in consultation with relevant personnel from both the workplace and the manufacturers of the equipment or systems
- 3.2 Equipment or system options are evaluated against the requirements of the workplace
4 Prepare report and recommendations
- 4.1 Recommendations are developed to meet requirements of the workplace
- 4.2 Recommendations are discussed with relevant personnel and appropriate action is taken on the feedback received
- 4.3 Report of evaluation and associated recommendations is prepared and forwarded according to workplace practices
5 Maintain records
- 5.1 Records are maintained of analyses and recommended strategies in accordance with workplace practices
