Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for and dimension the task
   • Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work.
   • Customer orders are interpreted to establish required sizes of finished products.
   • Size requirements are checked in relation to the production process and finishing capacity of the workplace.
2. Plan process
   • Material 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 interpreted.
   • Procedures for using pattern development instruments and tools are checked and equipment is prepared for use.
3. Plot dimensions
   • Equipment and tools are used following normal workplace procedures.
   • Each dimension is measured, exploded and plotted maintaining appropriate 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 ensuring that the pattern indicates completion date and original drawing details.
   • Required workplace approval of pattern or template is obtained.
   • Plans are marked with notations for workplace requirements, including authorship, process or customer requirements, authorisation and any review dates.
   • Plans are copied and filed as required according to workplace policies and procedures.

Communication Communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the 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 patterns and templates and estimate material requirements

Solve problems Create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate pattern and template production problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

Use of technology Use the workplace technology related to pattern and template production including production tools and equipment calculators and measuring devices and computingcomputeraided systems

Resource implications

Drawings job specifications tools and equipment information on productionfabrication process production materials and relevant computer equipment and software

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 workplace simulated facility with relevant equipment simulated work instructions and deadlines
