List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 | Determine job requirements | 1.1 | Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) |
| 1.2 | Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times |
| 1.3 | Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs |
| 1.4 | Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions |
|
2 | Prepare to implement specialised patternmaking technologies | 2.1 | Analyse and assess patternmaking technologies to prepare for future requirements |
| 2.2 | Determine staff skills for implementation of new technologies |
| 2.3 | Identify risks and obstacles relating to the proposed change |
| 2.4 | Identify changes to current patternmaking principles and practices |
| 2.5 | Confirm suppliers of patternmaking technologies and identify the initial and ongoing training and support they will provide |
| 2.6 | Develop a patternmaking technology implementation plan, including objectives, timeframes, training and budget |
|
3 | Implement patternmaking technologies | 3.1 | Implement patternmaking technologies and adjust workplace practices according to implementation plan |
| 3.2 | Delegate responsibilities and provide learning and development opportunities according to implementation plan |
| 3.3 | Develop specifications and workplace practices for block development, patternmaking and pattern grading using the new technology |
| 3.4 | Make support available to the workplace affected by implementation of the patternmaking technology |
| 3.5 | Ensure WHS is observed during implementation of new technologies |
|
4 | Assess and finalise implementation process | 4.1 | Monitor and supervise implementation of plan to ensure production and quality meet required standards of compliance |
| 4.2 | Identify and rectify any production problems, faults and quality issues, and make changes and adjustments to procedures, where required |
| 4.3 | Maintain records and prepare reports, where necessary |
| 4.4 | Document all processes and technology outcomes and store according to workplace practices |
Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy the requirements of the elements and performance criteria, and include:
reading and following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
applying relevant standards
assessing patternmaking technologies, workplace requirements for new technologies, staff training requirements and risks, and obstacles and challenges relating to the proposed change
developing a patternmaking technology implementation plan, including objectives, timeframes, training and budget
managing change and implementation of new patternmaking technologies, and monitoring process to achieve quality and production output requirements, on at least two (2) occasions
ensuring work health and safety (WHS) practices in work operations and providing support to the workplace affected by implementation of the patternmaking technology
rectifying any production problems, faults and quality issues and making changes and adjustments to procedures, where required
maintaining records and preparing reports, where necessary
document all processes and technology outcomes and storing according to workplace practices.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
change management
Australian size Standards
workplace and customer size charts
patternmaking and the development of a pattern
cost-efficiency in patternmaking
patternmaking principles and methodologies
patternmaking technologies, such as:
CAD systems
body scanners
specification and technical drawing software
grading and size table development software
3-D avatars and fitment software
icon technology
grading of patterns
block construction
new patternmaking technologies
relevant work health and safety (WHS) legislation and codes of practice
problem solving
quality practices
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
Assessors must:
satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator
have vocational competency in implementing specialised pattern making technologies, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.
Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.
Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
