Unit of Competency LMTFD4013B - Grade 2D patterns
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to grade flat or 2D patterns used for garment production.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to the grading of flat or 2D patterns used for garment production where discretion and judgement may be required, for both self and others, in planning and selecting processes, procedures or outcomes.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 the application of skills associated with problem solving and planning and organising to determine grading requirements and select base pattern. Communication and numeracy skills are used to interpret and apply pattern information and complete documentation. Self management skills are used to ensure conformance of grading to quality standards.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse grading system
  • Workstation and/or equipment are selected and prepared according to OHS practices.
  • Grading system used in workplace is identified.
  • Measurements of base size and subsequent spread are identified.
  • Number of sizes in grading is calculated.
  • Grade increments between sizes are established.
       
Element: Set up base pattern
  • Base pattern of a basic style and pattern pieces are identified, constant or '0' position is established and grade points with corresponding values are assigned.
  • Base size pattern is checked for correct information, balance points and pattern fit and clarification sought, as required.
  • Style and fabric characteristics which influence grading are identified and any queries are clarified with patternmaker.
  • Appropriate grade plan is selected and grade rule table constructed.
       
Element: Grade pattern
  • Stacking or outlay requirements, including direction are determined.
  • Pattern is graded manually using patternmaking technical skills or by computer.
  • If stacking, stack points or lines are identified.
  • Integrity of pattern attributes is preserved during grading.
  • All pattern pieces are accurately labelled with pattern marking symbols.
  • Pattern is checked for accuracy and rectified or addressed as required.
       
Element: Maintain records
  • Records are maintained and documentation completed as required.
  • Patterns are filed.
       


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

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

check patterns for correct information

grade flat, 2D patterns

ensure graded patterns meet specifications

communicate effectively with design team, customers, etc.

apply OHS practices in work operations

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:

Australian size standards

workplace and customer size charts

patternmaking and the development of a pattern

cost efficiency in patternmaking

an understanding of marker making

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

quality practices

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

produce precise results

use CAD or manual grading systems

communicate effectively with individuals, work groups and supervisors

document and transfer information

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.

OHS practices

OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit and may include:

manual handling techniques

standard operating procedures

personal protective equipment

safe materials handling

taking of rest breaks

ergonomic arrangement of workplaces

following marked walkways

safe storage of equipment

housekeeping

reporting accidents and incidents

other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

Grading system may include:

flat, 2D patterns

shaped, 3D patterns

position of constant or stack point

Basic styles may include:

A-line skirt

straight skirt

T-shirt

shirt

pants

shorts (elastic waisted)

blouses

lingerie

Pattern attributes may include:

darts

notches

shape

design proportion

Pattern marking symbols may include:

written information and instructions

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.
