Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


The unit applies to the development and implementation of pattern making plans for complex or specialised production.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.

The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:

requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employment

standard operating procedures

work instructions

oral, written and visual communication

quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output

housekeeping

tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recycling

This unit requires skills in problem solving and planning and organising to manage the development of pattern making processes and address any issues that arise. Teamwork skills are required to effectively allocate tasks and manage personnel. Communication skills are used to document plans and provide briefing to team members. Initiative and enterprise, self management and learning skills are applied to review processes and look for and implement modifications and improvements.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge to manage processes for pattern making in high-volume production of complex or specialised garments.

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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

analyse patternmaking methodologies

implement patternmaking process

manage patternmaking process

prepare and present production plan for implementation

communicate effectively with design team, customers, etc.

implement plan for sampling and product development

apply OHS practices in work operations

maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

Australian size standards

workplace and customer size charts

pattern making and the development of a pattern

cost efficiency in pattern making

marker making

relevant OHS legislation and codes of practice

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

produce precise results

use CAD or manual grading systems

communicate effectively with individuals, work groups and supervisors

document and transfer information

consistently achieve quality and production output requirements

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Specialised garments may include:

special purpose garments, e.g. wetsuits and corsetry

garments with advanced styling such as:

tailored suit

eveningwear

bridal wear

couture

stretch trousers

corsetry

raglans

kimonos

overcoats

jackets

capes

Patternmaking methodologies may include:

block methodologies (national and international)

computer technologies

pattern grading

flat and draped patternmaking methodologies

marker making

Critical measurements may include:

those measurements that are relevant for block and style development and grading such as those taken or calculated on the body or garment

Critical paths may include:

resource availability

timelines

achieving delivery

supply chain

skill levels

identifying constraints

budget constraints

production turnaround

logistics (shipping and distribution)

reporting

Suitable style patterns may include:

couture garments

suits

bridal wear

jackets

specialised garments (wet suits, corsetry)

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Methods and formulas may include:

deviations from standard patterns

sources of pattern components

pattern derivation methods and formulas

block construction methods and formulas

application of current industry practice

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.
