Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify work requirements
  • Job requirements are identified from work instructions and patterns
  • Pattern is interpreted to determine work specifications
  • Instructions for sequencing of work, particular measurements or adjustments are interpreted
  • Work sequence is planned, including quality checkpoints
       
Element: Prepare for work
  • OHS requirements, including ergonomic criteria and personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Suitable work area is selected for the tasks
  • Materials are selected to match customer requirements, suitability for the purpose and the work instructions
  • Potential hazards are identified from observation of the tools, equipment, materials and workplace reference material
  • Tools, equipment and materials are selected and checked prior to use to ensure that they are appropriate for the work, serviceable and in a safe condition
       
Element: Complete construction
  • Fabric quantities are calculated, allowing for seams, joining pleats, gathers, etc.
  • Fabric is marked out and cut to size
  • Bedspread is constructed following work instructions
  • Work is checked against patterns and work sheets at the identified checkpoints
  • Non-conformity with the required quality standards is rectified
       
Element: Finalise operations
  • Completed work is checked against required quality standard
  • Documentation or reporting is completed following workplace procedures
  • Work area is cleaned, tools and equipment are returned to storage
  • Unused materials are returned to storage and waste and scrap is dealt with following workplace 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

Identify materials used in bedspread manufacture, and any special sewing or handling requirements for those materials

Apply safe handling practices for equipment, products and materials

Interpret work order and patterns and locate and apply relevant information

Interpret patterns and work instructions

Select and use tools and equipment appropriate to the task

Manufacture at least three different styles of bedspread

Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

prevent damage to goods, equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Report process or materials faults, damaged products or equipment

Resource implications

Patterns, materials, tools and equipment.

Method of assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

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

Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally 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 process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Submission Requirements

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

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

collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, plans and safety procedures

communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems

plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage

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 measurements, calculate area, estimate bedspread material requirements and other material requirements

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate manufacturing problems, avoid re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the manufacture of bedspreads, including tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices

Required knowledge

basic bedspread styles and variations

the standard range of bedspread sizes

the range of fabrics and decorative finishes used in the making of bedspreads

the interpretation of patterns

identification of equipment, processes and procedures

workflow in relation to bedspread production

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

This unit covers work involving the production of bedspreads, including quilted, lined and unlined styles by reading and interpreting patterns, plans and work instructions

Unit context

OHS requirements may include legislation, building codes, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and local safe operating procedures or equivalent

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the reading and interpreting of plans and instructions. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment

Tools and equipment may include:

measuring and calculating equipment, including tapes, rulers, calculators, computers

fabric cutting and sewing tools, including scissors, sewing machines, hemming machines, overlockers, etc.

Materials

Materials may include plain and patterned fabric and decorative trims

Pattern interpretation is to determine the following:

type of materials specified

decorative finishes to be applied

required tools and equipment for the task

number and size of bedspreads to be produced

quality requirements

Personal protective equipment

Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulation and enterprise policies and practices

Information and procedures

Workplace procedures relating to the production of bedspreads

Machine manufacturers' specifications and operational procedures

Work instructions, including job sheets, plans, drawings and designs

Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication

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.
