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 | Plan for production | 1.1 | Applicable work health and safety (WHS), legislative and organisational requirements relevant to producing developmental models to scale are verified and complied with |
1.2 | Design brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with appropriate personnel |
1.3 | Type and quantity of materials to be used are acquired from the storage location |
1.4 | Equipment is selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness in accordance with manufacturer recommendations |
1.5 | Communication with others is established and maintained in accordance with WHS requirements |
2 | Interpret design development sketches and drawings | 2.1 | Sketches and drawings are assessed for their elements of design |
2.2 | Sketches and drawings are assessed for their principles of design |
2.3 | Sample maquette is produced in accordance with the concept sketches and drawings |
2.4 | Concept is modified for its aesthetic value in keeping with the intended function |
2.5 | Working drawings are assessed for their specification requirements |
2.6 | Concept is planned for model manufacture taking into account available equipment and resources |
3 | Produce scale model | 3.1 | Manufacturing process is planned and organised |
3.2 | Material is processed in accordance with the manufacturing plan and safe working procedures |
3.3 | Components are produced and prepared for assembly |
3.4 | Components are assembled in accordance with the working drawings |
3.5 | Scale model is finished according to specifications |
4 | Evaluate scale model | 4.1 | Design and production process faults are recorded and reported to the appropriate personnel |
4.2 | Scale model is evaluated for functionality and aesthetic appeal |
4.3 | Scale model is evaluated against design brief requirements |
4.4 | Scale model is reviewed with client or test client |
4.5 | Modifications to the scale model are explored to satisfy the requirements of the design brief |
Collect, organise and understand information related to furnishing work instructions and work orders and safety procedures
Apply safe handling requirements for equipment, products and materials, including use of personal protective equipment
Identify materials used in the work process
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:
minimise the risk of injury to self or others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
Produce developmental models to scale work through sketch development and the design process to produce a final scale model effectively applying design elements and principles
Produce a scale model in accordance with the scale development sketches and drawings
Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
Lead others and work effectively to improve production quality and outcomes
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
Minimise wastage of resources, including materials, time and money
Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity and encourage participation of employees in the planning of work activities and changes
State or territory WHS legislation, regulations, standards and codes of practice relevant to the full range of processes for producing developmental models to scale
Organisational and site standards, requirements, policies and procedures for producing developmental models to scale
Environmental protection requirements
Established communication channels and protocols
Relevant problem identification and resolution
Elements and principles of design
Ergonomics and aesthetic values
Types of tools and equipment and procedures for their safe use, operation and maintenance
Characteristics of materials, products and defects
Set-up and operation of equipment
Relevant computer programs
Product assembly techniques
Sketching and drawing techniques
Scale drawings and scale to human figure
Storage systems and labelling
Procedures for the recording, reporting and maintenance of workplace records and information
Assessors must:
hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors
have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification
be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.
Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.
Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Access is required to materials, equipment and specifications relevant to producing developmental models to scale.
