Unit of Competency LMTLG3001A - Make a prototype
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to design processes leading to the making of a prototype for marketing purposes.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to the design of pattern and prototypes. Competence must be demonstrated in working largely independently and being accountable for own results including:carrying out assigned taskscoordinating processessetting and working to deadlinesDesigns must reflect fashion trends and the enterprise focus of manufacture.Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team 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 communicating information to personnel in other departments on the commercial viability of the prototype design, as well as the application of knowledge of the procedures for developing and testing the prototype. Problem solving, learning, initiative and enterprise are required to develop a prototype to meet customer requirements. Self management and planning and organising skills are used to ensure work complies with workplace requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Set up workstation
  • Workstation is set up in accordance with specifications and workplace procedures
       
Element: Design or modify existing model
  • Specification of customer requirements are interpreted
  • Components are designed, to conform with model, using CAD or manual technique with reference to all relevant operations
  • Materials, trims and colours are selected
  • Models are produced from appropriate materials
  • Ongoing liaison occurs with relevant departments in workplace to ensure workability and marketability of design, and availability of materials and resources including workforce skills
       
Element: Produce prototype
  • Existing model is modified, or model is designed, to translate design concept into 3D
  • Making of prototype is coordinated using sample patterns, relevant designed components and all relevant manufacturing processes
       
Element: Test prototype
  • Liaison occurs with other relevant departments in relation to practicality of design and cost of production, and predicted commercial success
  • Prototype is reviewed with customer specifications, and customer as appropriate
  • Corrections are made as necessary
       
Element: Make samples
  • Samples are made for marketing or testing
  • Work is conducted according to OHS practices
       
Element: Produce patterns
  • Standard or master pattern is created from the mean form
  • Standard is dissected to produce all working patterns, making adjustments for enterprise procedures and materials used to create patterns
  • Patterns are derived from the past pattern, allowing for adjustments as required
       


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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

plan and coordinate complicated design and prototype operations

check work against work specifications and workplace standards

prepare equipment and work prior to commencing operations

apply complex techniques over the full range of operations

check work against specifications

apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations

maintain accurate records

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

Context and specific resources for assessment

Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment and requires access to work areas, materials and equipment and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.

Guidance information for 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

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(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:

manufacturing focus of the enterprise

manufacturing capacity, skill capacity, and tool or equipment base of workplace

materials and properties and their reaction to manufacturing processes

pattern design and prototype construction

quality standards and handling procedures

safety and environmental aspects of relevant processes

workplace operations and reporting procedures

OHS practices, including hazard identification and control measures

practices for recording and reporting

Demonstrates skills to:

interpret work specifications for complicated operations

create standard patterns to specifications

select appropriate materials

produce prototypes using appropriate manufacturing processes

make samples and correct as necessary

meet work specifications

communicate effectively with other relevant departments in the workplace

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

maintain accurate records

sequence operations

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

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.
