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 produce 3-D patterns | 2.1 | Read and interpret preliminary drawings, sketches or diagrams provided by customer or developed by the enterprise |
| 2.2 | Determine missing dimensions or other unknown features of the proposed product through consultation with customer or enterprise personnel |
| 2.3 | Read, interpret and apply workplace procedures and instructions |
| 2.4 | Identify appropriate computer applications and key in required information or transfer from other sources to initiate design or production processes |
|
3 | Mark out and cut out shapes | 3.1 | Construct drawings, based on customer information, using appropriate software applications |
| 3.2 | Make appropriate adjustment for shrinkage and other allowances, as required |
| 3.3 | Mark out and cut shapes based on customer or workplace information, and cut out using a plotting table and appropriate software applications |
| 3.4 | Check finished work is accurate and conforms with specifications |
|
4 | Perform calculations | 4.1 | Use spreadsheets or other appropriate software applications to perform complex materials calculations, financial tasks and costing |
| 4.2 | Develop and apply spreadsheets |
| 4.3 | Save data, drawings and other outputs electronically and in hard copy form using established workplace file and documentation formats |
|
5 | Save, document and communicate data | 5.1 | Store other work-related information in accordance with established workplace procedures |
| 5.2 | Pass on data and associated information to personnel responsible for further action within the organisation |
| 5.3 | Exit software applications and close down and switch off computer |
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 and other reference material
applying relevant standards
interpreting work orders and customer information
interpreting specifications for components that are to form part of finished products
identifying appropriate computer applications and keying in required information or transferring from other sources to initiate design or production processes
operating a desktop or laptop computer and relevant software to produce at least two (2) patterns for 3-D products
using spreadsheets or other appropriate software applications to perform complex materials calculations, financial tasks and costing
operating a plotter to construct 3-D drawings, mark out templates, or cut complex shapes in material
complying with all relevant safety requirements, including safe use of plotting tables for cutting out materials
checking product quality
making calculations and costings according to workplace procedures
documenting, saving and communicating work-related data information according to workplace procedures.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
range of products and services offered by the workplace
product construction processes
computer hardware
software packages used in the workplace
computer or plotter interfaces
3-D drawing and calculation processes
mathematical processes and formulae for area and volume
geometry and geometrical shapes
principles and practices of engineering drawing
quality practices
workplace procedures
practices for recording and reporting.
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 producing patterns for 3-D products, 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.
