This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

Required skills

research collect organise and understand information related to pattern and template production including the relevant technical regulatory environmental and safety requirements

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

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

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

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area and dimensions create accurate patterns and templates and estimate material requirements

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

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

Required knowledge

company operating procedures including procedures for pattern andor template production

types characteristics uses and limitations of patterntemplate materials

operation requirements of equipment and work systems in own work area

competency requirements of the work activities

relevant regulatory requirements recognised standards and codes and industry practices

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria Required Skills and Knowledge the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the relevant Training Package

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

Interpret drawings and extrapolate to physical dimensions

Select appropriate mediums and materials

Produce a minimum of three patterns or templates making use of

manufactured board

solid timber

composite material

Suggest improvements to pattern and template production and where authorised negotiate changes

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment

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
