Design production tooling

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to design tooling required for producing textile, clothing or footwear (TCF) products.

This unit of competency applies to the design of tooling to meet specific manufacturing requirements using manual or computer-aided design (CAD) systems.

This unit of competency is applicable to all sectors of the TCF industry.

Discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes. The unit of competency can refer to workplace and client initiated ideas or requests.

The size and work organisation within enterprise will determine the range of interaction with other areas.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

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.

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

2.1

Define and clarify tooling requirements

2.2

Interpret specifications and design parameters

2.3

Develop engineering or design specifications for tooling, including items to be produced internally or by external suppliers

Contribute to development of design or engineering specifications

3.1

Liaise with relevant personnel to confirm and prepare specification details in accordance with enterprise procedures, including required standards of construction and overall quality

3.2

Provide tooling brief to engineering and external supplier, as required

3.3

Liaise and communicate effectively with the component supplier and engineering area to manufacture knives or tooling

3.4

Document procedure and maintain records

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), safe work practices

applying relevant standards

defining requirements and developing accurate specifications

using manual or computer-aided design (CAD) systems as required by context

assessing technical requirements and providing tooling brief on at least two (2) occasions

liaising and communicating effectively with relevant personnel

applying workplace procedures

maintaining accurate records.

Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:

safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

relevant Australian Standards

interpretation of specifications and the requirements of tooling design

features of required manual or CAD design system

roles of relevant personnel or work areas including prototype or sample maker, engineering, management and external supplier

product construction and materials used in product production

quality requirements

materials used in product production

workplace procedures and reporting processes

work health and safety (WHS) practices, including hazard identification and control measures

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 designing production tooling, 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.

The unit is applicable to all TCF sectors and assessment must ensure it is delivered to suit the industry it is being applied to.
