Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Assess requirements
   • Customer/specification is consulted to determine requirements
   • Cost and feasibility of requirements are evaluated and development requirements are explored taking into consideration process, material, quantity, cost and outcome requirements
   • Codes, regulations and technical documentation are consulted to establish design limitations, where applicable
   • Specialist expertise is consulted as required
2. Propose options
   • Options for the use and modification of stock lines are defined and proposed to the customer to determine most appropriate modifications
   • Modification of stock lines is considered to take into account production, facility, ergonomic requirements, work health and safety (WHS) and environmental factors
3. Develop modifications to stock lines
   • Modifications are developed to meet customer specifications/standards, use and all legislative or regulatory requirements
   • Verification of the development is undertaken in accordance with workplace procedures
4. Coordinate implementation and testing of modifications
   • Implementation of modifications is arranged and coordinated
   • Outcome is tested and assessed to establish conformance to requirements
   • Variations to the design are carried out where necessary
   • Documentation is prepared to meet all requirements

Range Statement

Specifies different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
Unit context includes:	work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements work involves customisation of existing stock lines to satisfy particular site and/or customer requirements work is performed with little external assistance and with minimal supervision or direction. The development of modifications may require the assistance and cooperation of others work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual and analytical ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills customers may be internal or external
Personal protective equipment includes:	that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise policies and practices
Information and procedures include:	product drawings, prototype, design brief, patterns and specifications machine manufacturer specifications and operational procedures work instructions, including job sheets, cutting lists, plans, drawings and designs workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication manufacturer specifications and operational procedures quality and Australian Standards and procedures

Evaluate existing stock line designs and propose modifications

Evaluate design and design modification performance and coordinate modification and testing

Suggest improvements to stock line designs and, where authorised, negotiate changes

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Use workplace technology related to the coordination, including communication equipment, time and management aids, and other measuring devices

Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
