Elements and Performance Criteria
- Establish design production plan
- Information about previous design production is reviewed and relevance for current activities assessed.
- Business goals and strategies and organisation systems for production of designs are reviewed and relevance for current activities assessed.
- Design requirements, timelines and budget are identified and confirmed.
- Quality standards are identified.
- Key personnel are consulted to assist in production plan development, as required.
- Planning techniques and tools are used to develop production plan and schedule which includes critical path, timeline and key outcomes.
- Select and brief project team
- Key personnel are selected to conduct development activities.
- Production plan is discussed with team to ensure all requirements are understood.
- Tasks are assigned according to available expertise and production requirements.
- Information relating to standards, constraints, preferred processes, designs and techniques is conveyed to team.
- Design specification sheet, drawings, samples and patterns are presented and analysed with team.
- Relevant technical, monitoring and reporting procedures are established.
- Monitor progress
- Ongoing communication with team members is maintained to ensure obligations, quality, timelines, budget and technical constraints are met.
- Any problems or revisions are reviewed or prepared.
- Quality assurance practices are conducted to check pattern, sizing, materials and construction comply with design specifications.
- Changes to design specifications are communicated with designer and patternmaker and documented.
- Production activities are monitored to ensure compliance with OHS practices.
- Facilitate process or work flow problem resolution
- Methods to solve process or work flow problems are identified through facilitation of meetings or discussions.
- Knowledge of process improvement and efficient production techniques/systems are used to assist in systematic identification and resolution of process or work flow problems.
- Preferred option to resolve problem is recommended and documented.
- Implementation of recommended problem resolution option is facilitated.
- Monitor production improvements/ variations
- Improvements/variations to production are monitored to ensure outcome meets specifications and production schedule.
- Data is collated and analysed to evaluate effectiveness of production improvements or variations.
- Decisions on improvements or variations to production are made within limits of management responsibility.
- Evaluate final product
- Information on development process is assembled and evaluated.
- Product outcome is assessed against specifications.
- Significant results are identified, in consultation with others as necessary, and used to draft plans for future action.
- Production outcomes are discussed with project team to review strengths and weaknesses of process.
- Cost outcome
- Maintain records
