Elements and performance criteria
Element 1
Analyse production process stages and the selection of equipment for a textile
manufacturing operation.
Performance criteria
1.1
The purpose and function of each process stage is analysed in terms of the
manufacturing operation and its outcome.
1.2
Candidate’s rationale for the selection of equipment at each textile processing
stage is explained in terms of the organisation and the operation.
Range
includes but is not limited to – cost, process capacity and
capability, equipment availability, product quality requirements,
skill requirements, production construction requirements.
Element 2
Develop a process map for a multi-stage textile manufacturing operation.
Performance criteria
2.1
The process map includes and labels textile manufacturing process stages,
linear process flows, and sequencing of process stages.
Range
2.2
may include but is not limited to – specification for the equipment
used at each process stage and flows between stages.
The process map defines current input and output measurement per 24-hour
cycle for each of the textile manufacturing process stages.
Range
in units appropriate to the process.
2.3
The process map identifies bottlenecks due to product construction or process
selection in the textile manufacturing operation.
2.4
The process map identifies raw material, work in progress, and finished product
movement systems in the textile manufacturing operation.
Element 3
Analyse the process map and make recommendations for improvements in the textile
production process.
Performance criteria
3.1
The process map is analysed in terms of the potential for higher productivity in
each processing stage and recommendations are made for potential
improvements.

3.2
The process map is analysed to identify alternative means for increasing
capacity in a textile manufacturing operation and recommendations are made
for potential improvements.
3.3
The process map is analysed to identify bottlenecks in the textile manufacturing
operation and recommendations are made for their reduction and for potential
processing efficiency gains.
Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
