Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Interpret provisional specifications
   • Provisional specifications are identified
   • Specifications are interpreted, in consultation with others, where required
2. Participate in feasibility studies
   • Requirements for feasibility study are identified, in conjunction with others, as required
   • Assistance is provided in studies to assess feasibility of design and development through sampling, trial run production, consideration of machine or equipment capabilities, availability of resources, required quality and cost
3. Assist in developing or engineering product
   • Product or process specifications are interpreted and preliminary specifications are developed from feasibility study
   • Specifications are used to develop or engineer the product
   • Raw materials are checked or selected to meet requirements
   • Machine or equipment or skill availability are determined against requirements
4. Conduct trials
   • Requirements for trial are confirmed and clarified, where necessary, to establish procedures and parameters
   • Organisation and liaison with production area occurs, where required
   • Trials are assessed in accordance with the established procedures
5. Analyse and interpret results
   • Results of the trials are analysed to determine performance and acceptability for production
   • Analysis is interpreted to determine performance and acceptability for production
6. Report results and maintain records
   • Reports are prepared
   • Records are maintained, where required,

Evidence Required

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 Training Package
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered	Demonstrates skills and knowledge to conduct feasibility studies interpret and develop specifications use specifications appropriately organise and conduct trials assess results of trials
Consistency in performance	Consistently applies skills and knowledge when organising work completing tasks identifying improvements using workplace practices using OHS practices recording and reporting accidents and incidents assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace including modes of behaviour and interactions completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment
Resource implications	Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations including work areas materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices
Context for assessment	Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment
Interdependent assessment	This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units

Range Statement

The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Legislative/regulatory requirements		All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Feasibility studies may include:		sampling trial run production consideration of machine capabilities availability of resources required quality cost
Conducting trials may relate:		confirmation and clarification of requirements liaison with production area allocating work reviewing and evaluating processes and products performing trials interpreting data analysing results
OHS practices	OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include: manual handling techniques standard operating procedures personal protective equipment safe materials handling taking of rest breaks ergonomic arrangement of workplaces following marked walkways safe storage of equipment housekeeping reporting accidents and incidents other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise
