| 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 make marker | 2.1 | Set up and prepare work area and equipment according to workplace procedures |
| 2.2 | Identify marker requirements |
| 2.3 | Collect required pattern pieces and check manually or by computer |
|
3 | Draft lay marker | 3.1 | Manipulate pattern pieces and position for most efficient use of fabrics |
| 3.2 | Check pattern grain indication against grain of material |
| 3.3 | Draw up lay marker according to pattern requirements |
| 3.4 | Prepare laying-up instructions according to requirements |
|
4 | Position marker | 4.1 | Check marker against order requirements and copy marker either manually or by computer |
| 4.2 | Place marker on lay |
| 4.3 | Check marker and lay alignment and take appropriate action according to job specification |
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
applying relevant standards
interpreting work or job specifications and cutting order as it applies to marker-making
setting up manual or computer drafting equipment before commencement of marker-making operations
collecting required pattern pieces and checking manually or by computer
manipulating pattern pieces using manual or computer techniques to make at least two (2) markers that make most efficient use of fabric involving complex patterns, a variety fabrics and lays
checking marker against order requirements and copying marker either manually or by computer
placing marker on lay
checking marker and lay alignment and taking appropriate action according to job specification.
Evidence must be provided that demonstrates knowledge of:
safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
relevant Australian Standards
marker-making techniques
garment components
pattern features
characteristics of fabrics and other materials used in garment assembly, such as woven fabrics (denim, wool suitings, corduroy, satins, chiffon and rayons) and knits (polar fleece, double knits, single knits and tricot)
impact on marker of directional fabrics
computer operations for marker-making, copying and storage
quality standards and practices
workplace procedures
recording and reporting practices.
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 making marker for complicated fabrics and lays, 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.
