Required skills

collect organise and understand information related to work orders plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications 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 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 estimate material requirements

use prechecking and inspection techniques to anticipate construction problems avoid reworking and avoid wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the construction including tools equipment materials and measuring devices

Required knowledge

the interpretation of plan representation of furniture design

the preparation of drawingssetouts

workflow in relation to furniture production

identification of hand andor power tools materials equipment processes and procedures

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods equipment or products

maintain required production output and product quality

Construct at least three significant chair and couch frames

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Access to plans hand andor power tools equipment materials cauls and jigs woodworking machinery and a work area

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 and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and may 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 process equipment materials work instructions and deadlines

Chair and couch frames may include but are not limited to:

Unit context

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

Machines may include, but are not limited to:

Materials to be used may include but not limited to:
