Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to manage the technical processes, particularly in the preparation of chemicals, monitoring production stages and measuring specified process parameters.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Coordinate resource use
  • 1.1 Technical process requirements are interpreted in terms of resources and procedures
  • 1.2 Schedules and technical resources are confirmed with relevant personnel
  • 1.3 Process and safety requirements are clarified, where necessary
2 Manage the process
  • 2.1 Roles and responsibilities are allocated as required
  • 2.2 Technical process is monitored and guidance provided where required
  • 2.3 Process parameters are monitored to ensure conformance to requirements
  • 2.4 Safety associated with the process, including chemical handling, is monitored
3 Facilitate process problem resolution
  • 3.1 Methods to solve process problems are identified through facilitation of meetings or discussions
  • 3.2 Knowledge of process improvement and technical systems are used to assist in the systematic identification and resolution of process problems
  • 3.3 Preferred option to resolve the problem is recommended and documented
  • 3.4 Implementation of the recommended problem resolution option is facilitated
4 Monitor process improvements and variations
  • 4.1 Improvements and variations to process are monitored to ensure outcome meets specifications, production schedule and workplace requirements
  • 4.2 Data is collated and analysed to evaluate the effectiveness of process improvements or variations
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.
Process parameters may include
speed
temperature
pressure
chemical values
time
volume
quantities
pH Baume (BE)
concentration
Chemical processes may include:
chemical preservation
wool removal and skin pickle (wool off)
soak, scour, bleach, pickle, sytan (wool on)
chemical preparation
tannage
drum processes (bovine, hair off)
preparation to crust (rewet, dyehouse processing)
finishing leather and woolskin (coatings)
dyeing and colouration
application of finishes
fabric formation
textile finishing processes
Activities may include:
work allocation
process monitoring
solving process problems
reviewing and evaluating process
monitoring safety
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
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
allocate tasks and roles to relevant personnel
manage process
solve problems and monitor process improvements

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.
