Elements and Performance Criteria
- Analyse options for textile production
- Production requirements are analysed to determine scale of production
- Options for the production of textiles are determined in line with product specifications
- Information on cost of each option is gathered and data is analysed
- Production options are compared in terms of their cost benefits and cost negatives
- Information from previous production records are reviewed and compared with current options in terms of cost, and in line with quality outcomes
- Potential options are selected and relevant information documented
- Assess influences on production costs
- Factors that may affect cost of production are determined
- Quality and industry standards for design production are identified and implications for production assessed
- Production options are considered in line with OHS practices
- Influences on production costs are assessed and initial costing modified
- Production options are reviewed in line with additional information and most suitable options refined.
- Develop and analyse costing sheets for textile production
- Costing sheets are completed for selected production options
- Calculations are checked and data is collated
- Data from costing sheets is interpreted to assess most cost efficient option from production, in line with design and quality requirements
- Cost analysis is documented and presented to appropriate personnel to review suitability of options
- Cost analysis is finalized and all documentation is completed
