Unit of Competency BSBDES601A - Manage design realisation
Description This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage the process of taking a design from concept to final realisation or production. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to individuals working in any industry context or design discipline who take responsibility for turning design concept into reality - a product or service of value to the end user. This person could be an individual designer-maker or a designer working as part of a larger design/production team.The unit has a strong focus on planning, implementation and monitoring skills, combined with a sound knowledge of design and production issues and challenges in a given context.In practice this unit supports and is supported by other units describing the specialist skills and knowledge required by specific design disciplines.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Plan realisation of the design
  • Collect, analyse and maintain relevant information on the design
  • Discuss and agree on standards of work and monitoring requirements with appropriate stakeholders
  • Develop clear plan and schedule for design realisation, including key roles and responsibilities linked to time lines and budget
       
Element: Implement and monitor realisation of the design
  • Organise and/or allocate resources to achieve the realisation of design within required standards, timeframes and budget
  • Liaise with others involved in design realisation to ensure obligations and quality standards are met within time, budget and technical resources
  • Maintain accurate, relevant and complete documentation in accordance with agreed standards
  • Monitor process to ensure integrity of design is maintained at all times, including through the process of challenging and interrogating own design work
  • Promptly identify difficulties or problems that arise in relation to realisation of the design and take action to rectify the situation
       
Element: Liaise and negotiate with stakeholders
  • Establish and maintain appropriate communication channels with relevant stakeholders
  • Pro-actively seek and provide information to facilitate effective design realisation
  • Adhere to agreed terms and conditions or negotiate appropriate changes in light of changed circumstances
  • Negotiate and agree on revisions with relevant parties in a professional manner, to enhance quality of outcome
       
Element: Complete design process
  • Finalise design outcomes in accordance with terms and conditions
  • Seek feedback from key stakeholders on finished design and make final adjustments as agreed
  • Evaluate completed design in relation to own work and overall process, to inform future practice
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

planning and implementation of design realisation so that finished product or service meets the requirements of design brief

effective communication and negotiation skills in relation to working with others for design realisation

knowledge of the design process in the specific industry context/design discipline.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

access to resources, tools, materials and equipment for realisation of a design in specific context

access to a design concept that the candidate can take to realisation stage

interaction with and involvement of others to reflect the collaborative nature of the unit and the communication and negotiation skills required.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate

evaluation of finished products or services where the candidate has managed the realisation process

evaluation of progress reports or completion reports prepared by the candidate

evaluation of candidate reports on the realisation process highlighting different management techniques used, challenges in the process and how these were addressed.

Guidance information for assessment

The design process does not occur in isolation. Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

any specialised design unit.


Submission Requirements

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

communication and negotiation skills to lead and participate in effective client/principal, stakeholder and project team liaison during design realisation

creative thinking skills to generate new or adapted ideas in response to realisation challenges

literacy skills to research and evaluate a wide range of source materials on design and to complete relevant design documentation

numeracy skills to manage budgets

planning and organisational skills to coordinate and lead potentially complex processes involving a range of interrelated factors and challenges

problem-solving and decision making skills to develop and implement solutions to unpredictable problems.

Required knowledge

copyright, moral rights, intellectual property issues and legislation that impact on design work in the relevant industry context at a managerial level

occupational health and safety requirements relevant to the particular work context/design discipline

production/realisation processes as they apply to designs in a particular industry context or design discipline including materials, tools, equipment and processes

quality assurance for design concept realisation applicable to the specific industry context/design discipline.

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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Relevant information on the design may include:

artwork

brief

checklists

financial data

models

production data

prototypes

specifications

technical data

visual diagrams

working drawings

Standards of work and monitoring requirements may relate to:

budget targets

creative issues

legal issues

reporting requirements

technical quality

timeframes

Appropriate stakeholders may include:

client

community

others on whom the design will impact, for example technical or production personnel

others working on the design realisation process

supervisor/manager

Resources may include:

financial

human

physical

Documentation to be maintained may include:

digital records and presentations

financial reports

models

photographs

progress reports

prototypes

records of work

working drawings

Difficulties or problems may relate to:

budgetary overruns

conceptual issues

legal issues

scheduling problems

technical quality

Communication channels may include:

electronic updates

inspections

project meetings

telephone discussions

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
