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.
Organisational structure includes
allocation of production functions to departments
supervisory and management arrangements
whether a team-based work organisation structure is used
allocation of support functions including maintenance, materials storage, administration, security, laboratory services
Production processes may include
carding
spinning
sizing
winding
weaving
tufting
knitting
dyeing
finishing
non-woven textile production process
special production systems of manufacturing practice including:
just in time movement between departments and suppliers or customers
special housekeeping practices, for example 5S
Organisation refers to
the processing plant where the employee works and may be:
an enterprise with a single site
a factory location of a multi site enterprise
Systems used to guarantee quality may include
communication systems used to convey quality standards for different jobs to production operators
technical resources and assistance available to production operators to help rectify problems
location and availability of experts such as textile mechanics and technicians
sampling requirements for offline quality testing
Product flow refers to
the receipt of source fibres, yarns or textile materials from suppliers and the subsequent movement of the raw materials to the production areas of the organisation for processing. It includes automatic and manual handling systems and job and order control at a level appropriate to production operators at the enterprise
OHS practices
OHS practices include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may relate to:
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
environmental practices

environmental practices
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:
identify main purpose of the organization, eg major products and the major processes used in their production such as weaving and dyeing
identify manufacturing system and quality requirements across two or more departments within the organisation
describe product flow through the organisation
apply skills in two or more departments
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 OHS 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 OHS practices.
Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent assessment
This unit may be assessed in combination with other relevant units.
