Unit of Competency LMTFD4008B - Construct stock size block for garment to meet size and fit specifications
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to construct stock size blocks according to size and fit specifications.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to the construction of blocks for use in garment production to meet size and fit specifications. Blocks are used as the basis for pattern making to develop new styles. Work conducted requires some discretion and judgment.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team-related activities.The application of this unit is according to OHS practices of the enterprise and workplace practices, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control, and recyclingThis unit requires skills associated with communication to interpret documentation relating to quality standards, specifications, measurement and sizing. Planning and organisation and problem solving skills are required to construct stock size blocks according to size and fit specifications. Self management skills are used to confirm work meets quality requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Interpret size and fit
  • Size and fit specifications and Australian Standards are interpreted and clarified with designer or relevant personnel.
  • Base size to be constructed is identified.
  • Base size and fit model are checked for compatibility.
  • Size is evaluated and recorded in relation to specification of fit model, body movement and comfort.
       
Element: Construct block
  • Appropriate drafting principles and methods are selected for block construction.
  • Measurements of fit model are analysed and input into block drafting formulas and methodology.
  • Ease allowance is determined.
  • Block is constructed using patternmaking technical skills and OHS practices and checked to ensure compliance with requirements.
  • Methods and formulas used are documented.
       
Element: Construct and assess toiles
  • Toiles are accurately cut and constructed from block.
  • Correct proportion, fit and balance is confirmed by fitting and necessary minor adjustments are made.
  • Accuracy of toiles is evaluated in relation to fit, comfort and appropriate to base size specifications.
       
Element: Develop and complete final block
  • Information from toiles, including any minor adjustments is transferred to blocks.
  • Final blocks are completed, labelled and checked for accuracy and completeness of all necessary information, and to ensure compliance with specifications.
       
Element: Maintain records
  • Blocks are filed and stored.
  • All required documentation is completed.
       


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, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Critical aspects of evidence

maintain accurate records

Consistency in performance

Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:

organising work

completing tasks

identifying improvements

using workplace practices

using OHS practices

recording and reporting accidents and incidents

assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes

recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions

completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment

Resource implications

Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Context for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.

Interdependent assessment

This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Demonstrates knowledge of:

size standards

industry, global and local trends

detailed knowledge of garment construction

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

construct garment toiles or prototypes

develop the final blocks and recommend alternative construction methods

use manual or CAD systems

compile information

communicate effectively with individuals, work groups and supervisors

select, interpret and apply procedures, processes and motor skills

prepare and present reports and information in appropriate formats

consistently achieve quality and production output requirements

read, interpret and follow information on work specifications, standard operating procedures and work instructions, and other reference material

maintain accurate records

sequence operations

meet specifications

clarify and check task-related information

carry out work according to OHS practices

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. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.

Legislative/regulatory requirements

All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Measurement of fit model must include:

accurate assessment of body measurement positions (reference points such as bust, waist, hip levels)

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.
