Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for production of pattern or template
   • Job requirements are determined from workplace instructions
   • Size requirements are checked in relation to production process and finishing capacity of workplace
   • Type and quantity of patterns and templates to be produced are identified and materials are obtained
   • Hazards associated with the work are identified and risks are managed
   • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked for serviceability
2. Plan process
   • Material required for pattern or template is identified for approximate size and characteristics
   • Required instruments and equipment are identified, located and assembled
   • Drawings and related specifications are identified and interpreted
   • Procedures for using pattern development instruments and tooling are confirmed, and equipment and tooling are prepared for use
3. Plot dimensions
   • Equipment and tooling are used according to workplace procedures
   • Each dimension is measured, exploded and plotted, while maintaining angles, arcs and curves
   • Visual inspection and measurements are used to compare pattern dimensions and shapes with drawings and specifications
4. Complete pattern or template
   • Pattern or template is completed according to safety requirements and ensuring that it indicates completion date and original drawing details
   • Required workplace approval of pattern or template is obtained
   • Plans are marked with notations according to workplace procedures
   • Plans are copied and filed according to workplace procedures
5. Complete work processes
   • Final inspection is made to ensure work is to workplace expectations and pattern or template is presented ready for use
   • Work area is cleaned, waste and non-recyclable materials are disposed of, and recyclable material is collected
   • Tools and equipment are checked and stored according to workplace procedures
   • Workplace documentation is processed according to workplace procedures
