This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to systematically analyse, assess and determine the feasibility of timber product designs for use into a commercially viable production.

The unit applies to individuals who work as timber designers and production managers in a timber manufacturing facility. They generally demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility in known or changing contexts and within broad but established parameters.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory 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)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
