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

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Operate tools and equipment associated with the preparation and application of furniture foundations

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

As a minimum, interlace and turn back jute webbing, tie off and lace up coil springs, fit hessian bridles (loose and/or deep), coconut fibre, wadding and a stitched edge (one blind, one top) in two items of traditional upholstered furniture

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource implications

Furniture frames and traditional fittings such as webbing stock, coil springs, padding 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 may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which together form a part of the job role.

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, basic plans, and safety procedures

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

plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area 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 work requirements, optimise component and material sizes for economical cutting and assemble required materials

use pre-checking and inspection techniques to plan work, avoiding re-working and wastage

use the limited workplace technology related to the application of traditional foundations to upholstered furniture

Required knowledge

workflow in relation to furniture production and refurbishment

features of range of traditional foundation types and fitting s

materials and techniques used in the application of contemporary foundations to upholstered furniture

materials used in the application of traditional foundations

identification of equipment, processes and procedures required for the application of traditional foundations to upholstered furniture

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

coconut fibre

flock

horse hair

wadding

linters

calico

hessian

jute twine

Unit context

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

Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the set up and operation of machines

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

Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:

tape measure

web strainer

scissors

upholstery hammer

tack lifter

staple gun

pincers and long-nose pliers

Materials to be applied may include, but are not limited to:

webbing

coil springs

flock

wadding

coconut fibre

bridle
