Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Define the design objectives and detail
  • The purpose of the design is defined and/or clarified
  • The potential market for the design product is considered and defined
  • Intended production materials and outline production processes are identified and agreed as the basis for determination
       
Element: Establish the design assessment criteria
  • Criteria for the assessment of production material options are established
  • Criteria for the assessment of product functionality are established
  • Criteria for the assessment of production process options and impacts of these on overall business operations are established
  • Criteria for the assessment of safety and potential liability issues are established
  • Criteria for assessment of costs and marketability are established
       
Element: Apply the assessment criteria
  • The determination process, including personnel, information/input collection and recording, scoring or grading criteria and decision making processes are established and agreed
  • Products which are competitors/potential competitors in the market place are selected for comparative purposes
  • The design is scored/graded against agreed criteria and the results recorded
  • Competition products are scored/graded against the agreed criteria and the results recorded
  • Assessment results are completed in accordance with the agreed process
       
Element: Determine feasibility and options
  • Assessment results of the design and competition products are analysed
  • Designs which fail to satisfy assessment and provide no optional potential are rejected
  • Designs which fail to satisfy assessment but which have optional/alternative potential are referred to the appropriate party
  • Designs which satisfy potential are conditionally endorsed, with the conditions being recorded and passed to the appropriate party
  • Formal records of the determination are completed and processed in accordance with enterprise procedures
       


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.

Critical aspects of evidence

Locate, access and interpret all required information

Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment

For a minimum of two different product designs, determine and report on their feasibility by completing the following or equivalent steps:

define the design objectives and detail

establish assessment criteria

apply assessment criteria impartially

determine feasibility options

Communicate effectively with team and customers

Maintain accurate records

Work effectively with others

Resource implications

Access to real or appropriately simulated situations involving the feasibility of designs.

They may include real or simulated work areas, materials, equipment, and information on work specifications, customer requirements, relevant safety procedures and regulations, quality standards and enterprise procedures.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency, or the potential for consistency, of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment should be by direct observation of work activities and questioning on underpinning knowledge.

Assessment may be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.

Context of assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant background information, simulated work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(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

research, collect, organise and understand information related to the design, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements

communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the requirements, coordination of work with team members and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities to avoid any back tracking or reworking requirements

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

use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete calculations necessary to support the determination process

create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate problems, and avoid unsubstantiated decisions

use the workplace technology available to assist in the administration of the determination system, including computing/computer-aided systems

Required knowledge

intellectual property law requirements

design core and professional practices

ergonomic principles for furniture design and manufacture

the elements and principles of design and how they can be used to create good design in the furnishing industry

the industry and detailed knowledge of contemporary products

range of product materials and their characteristics

materials, trims, accessories and their properties and characteristics

costing processes

workplace procedures and reporting process

relevant OHS legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice

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.

Unit scope

Work involves the establishment and application of systematic, fair and balanced processes to determine the production feasibility of a design.

Activities may include:

researching design trends and developments

generating and presenting ideas

liaison with client and/or other functional areas

compiling information

preparing costings

Judgement may be required in planning and selecting appropriate processes or procedures for self and others

Unit context

OHS requirements include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures

Work is carried out in accordance with legislative obligations, environmental legislation, relevant health regulations, authorised handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements

Work requires individuals to demonstrate conceptual, analytical and organisational ability, discretion, judgement and problem solving skills

Workplace environment

The competency can refer to enterprise and client initiated ideas or requests

The competency may involve applications associated with original design, adaptation of designs or interpretation of sketches, single or multiple production styles and ranges, and made to order

The competency is applied under broad guidance

Information and procedures

Enterprise business plans

Business reports, trade journals, etc.

Product research information covering trends, materials options and market coverage

Organisation work procedures

Legislation/regulations/national and industry codes and practices relevant to furnishing and ergonomics

Quality and Australian standards and procedures

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.
