Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for and dimension the task
   • Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
   • Customer orders are interpreted to establish required sizes of finished products
   • Size requirements are checked in relation to the production process and finishing capacity of the workplace
2. Plan process
   • Material for pattern or template is identified for approximate size and characteristics
   • Required instruments and equipment are identified, located and assembled
   • Drawings and related specifications are interpreted
   • Procedures for using pattern development instruments and tools are checked and equipment is prepared for use
3. Plot dimensions
   • Equipment and tools are used following normal workplace procedures
   • Each dimension is measured, exploded and plotted maintaining appropriate angles, arcs and curves
   • Visual inspection and measurements are used to compare pattern dimensions and shapes with drawings and specifications
4. Complete pattern or template
   • Pattern or template is completed ensuring that the pattern indicates completion date and original drawing details
   • Required workplace approval of pattern or template is obtained
   • Plans are marked with notations for workplace requirements, including authorship, process or customer requirements, authorisation and any review dates
   • Plans are copied and filed, as required, according to workplace policies and procedures

Performance 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

Identify materials used in the work process

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection processes to:

minimise the risk of injury to self or others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Interpret drawings and extrapolate to physical dimensions

Select appropriate mediums and materials and produce a minimum of three (3) patterns or templates making use of:

manufactured board

solid timber

composite material

Suggest improvements to pattern and template production and, where authorised, negotiate changes

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Avoid backtracking, work flow interruptions or wastage

Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity
