LMTTX3007B Prepare dyes for textile production

Element:

1. Identify properties of textile

Performance Criteria:

1.1 Specifications and or sample of textile material or product are confirmed with originator or client.
1.2 End use and performance standards expected of finished product are clarified with appropriate personnel.
1.3 Sample is analysed to determine type and composition using
appropriate techniques, if required.

Element:

2. Perform preliminary selection and evaluation of dyes

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Preliminary selection of dyes and chemicals and auxiliaries is undertaken with reference to specifications and or previous product dyeing references.
2.2 Expected textile production or reproduction processes are identified based on preliminary dye selection and appropriate personnel advised.
2.3 Preliminary dye selection is determined for the sample of textile.
2.4 Dye selections and specification or recipe are trailed using laboratory-based production facilities and results evaluated against requirements of originator or client.
2.5 Dye selection or recipe is reviewed and retested as required.
2.6 Approval of preliminary dye specification by originator or client is
sought before implementing limited production run.

Element:

3. Perform final selection and evaluation of dyes and specification or recipe

Performance Criteria:

3.1 Sampling and testing techniques are selected appropriate to evaluation of product during limited production run.
3.2 Tests are implemented using quality standards and OHS practices.
3.3 Results are analysed and preliminary dye selection/recipe reviewed and retested as required.
3.4 Dye selection checked against original client specifications and requirements and workplace production process and requirements.
3.5 Approval of colour specification by originator or client is sought before implementing bulk production run.
3.6 Environmental requirements and procedures concerned with waste,
pollution, storage and recycling of materials are correctly applied at
all stages of the process.


Learning Outcomes


By the end of the course you will be able to identify properties of textile, perform preliminary selection and evaluate dyes, perform final selection and evaluation of dyes and specification or recipe.


Details of Learning Activities

In general your training is contextualised according to the company’s production processes undertaken as a part of the trainees normal work duties.

Your tasks are selected for training and explanation of the task to be undertaken is given by the trainer and the correct procedure discussed. The task is demonstrated by the trainer and underpinning skills and knowledge are developed.

When the trainer is confident you are capable of undertaking the task safely you will then do the task. During this time your work would be monitored by the trainer and questioning and further instruction given.

You will also be given workplace based tasks and activities to complete and practice between visits. Any activities and work performed between visits are reviewed and further training is undertaken accordingly.

RMIT University learning resources are used to support your training


Teaching Schedule

In general you will be taught by 5 means within a workplace training context as follows: 

1. Introduction and overview of course. Basics of skills required and course content 2 hours
2. Use of learning resources and basic skills development 2 hours
3. Complete manuals 4 hours
4. Supervised skill development to competency 40 hours
5. Consolidation of skills and assessment 2 hours

You will practice skills and understanding as a part of your workplace duties between sessions. Activities and work performed between visits are reviewed in the following session and further training is undertaken accordingly

Overview of Assessment

Assessment will be in the form of observation of your ability to identify properties of textile, perform preliminary selection and evaluate dyes, perform final selection and evaluation of dyes and specification or recipe. Also by questioning for underpinning knowledge.


Assessment Tasks

You will be assessed by observation as you identify properties of textile, perform preliminary selection and evaluate dyes, perform final selection and evaluation of dyes and specification or recipe (you can check the performance criteria above for more details of these skills). You will be questioned for underpinning knowledge for all these operations.
