Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for the task
   • Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work.
   • Purpose and operational characteristics of object to be drawn are identified.
   • Production materials and method are identified.
2. Establish design requirements and limitations
   • Type of drawing to be completed is identified.
   • Design concept requirements are established and documented identifying dimensions, angles, shapes and finished size.
   • Ergonomic requirements for the objects are identified, clarified and addressed throughout the work processes.
   • Drawing conventions and specifications to be noted on the drawing are identified.
   • Appropriate medium for drawings is identified and selected.
3. Quantify and draft initial drawing
   • Dimensions are plotted from prototype sketch and documented specifications.
   • Dimensional points are connected to match appropriate drawing view.
   • Any production notes or special requirements are noted.
   • Drawing conventions and specifications are noted on the documentation.
4. Complete drawing
   • Angles, shapes and dimensions are checked against specifications and concept prototype drawing.
   • Adjustments are made to the drawing within scope of authority.
   • Drawing is checked for compliance with workplace documentation requirements.

Required Skills

Not applicable

Evidence Required

The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competency for this unit This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate interpret and apply relevant information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

Identify requirements of task and organise work to achieve goals and results

Interpret specifications and measurements in two and threedimensional form

Satisfy ergonomic criteria during the drawing process

Present relevant information within the production drawing using both manual and computeraided processes and techniques

Suggest improvements to drawing activities and where authorised negotiate changes

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

Underpinning knowledge

Manual and computeraided drawing processes and techniques

Ergonomic principles for furniture design and manufacture

Presentation standards

Enterprise or equivalent operating procedures including procedures for preparing drawings and presenting information

Relevant regulatory requirements recognised standards and codes and industry practices

Underpinning skills

Information Research collect organise and understand information related to the design concept including the relevant technical regulatory cultural environmental and safety requirements

Communication Communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the conceptual requirements coordination of work with site supervisor other workers and customers and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

Planning Plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment systems and materials to avoid any back tracking workflow interruptions or wastage

Teamwork Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity

Mathematical ideas and techniques Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area and dimensions create accurate and scaled drawings and estimate material requirements

Solve problems Create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate drawing problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

Use of technology Use the workplace technology related to the drawing including drafting tools and equipment calculators and measuring devices and computingcomputeraided systems

Resource implications

Design concept specifications dimensions and drawing equipment

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks andor samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated workplace facility with relevant equipment simulated work instructions and deadlines
