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 and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities to avoid any back tracking or workflow interruptions

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

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements calculate area perimeter volume mass scales and ratios and estimate material requirements

use prechecking techniques to anticipate measurement and drawing problems and avoid reworking

use workplace technology related to measurement and drawing including tools equipment calculators and measuring devices

Required knowledge

furniture design and planning criteria

drawing techniques technologies and processes

furniture installation methods criteria and techniques

structural geometry

measurement techniques and equipmenttools

the theory and practice of calculations addition subtraction multiplication division

conventional signs and markings for plans and drawings

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

Identify the factors relevant to the measurements and drawings

Communicate effectively to enable accurate calculations measurements and drawings

Accurately measure and record particulars for required sector sites and materials

Draw accurate scaled plans and elevations relevant to the site using manual or computeraided methods

Superimpose the furniture product accurately to scale onto the plan and elevation

Identify and communicate on measurements and dimensions which may impact on manufacture andor installation

Resource Implications

Information on the site and products for measurement and calculation suitable work area appropriate to the activity suitable site plansdrawings andor specifications and measuring calculating and recording devices

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

Unit scope
