Unit of Competency LMTTD4011A - Estimate costs for development of textile designs
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge to estimate costs associated with the development and production of textile designs.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The unit applies to cost estimating for development of designs for textile products, including sample production. 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 primarily requires the application of skills associated with communication in information gathering and performing calculations as well as documenting findings. Problem solving and planning and organising skills are required to identify and analyse the cost components of product production.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine cost considerations for raw materials
  • Product and design specifications are analysed and yarn and othermaterial requirements are determined
  • Production requirements are analysed to determine impact on material selection and costs
  • Costing factors to be taken into consideration when purchasing materials for textile products are identified and related to production requirements
  • Market forces that affect costing for the textiles industry are identified and considered in line with purchasing requirements.
       
Element: Calculate material costs for producing textile products
  • Costs of materials for textile sample production are estimated.
  • Similar products from different price points within textiles industry are compared and any production differences identified.
  • Hidden costs in sample production are identified.
  • Differences in costs for sample and bulk production are calculated and compared
  • Material cost estimate details for textile production are documented
       
Element: Determine labour costs for producing textile products
  • Labour required for textile product production is identified.
  • Labour costs for production of sample and bulk production are calculated and compared.
  • Different methods of utilising labour in the textile industry are identified and compared
  • Labour cost estimate details for textile production are documented
       
Element: Complete cost estimate
  • Components of textile industry costing sheets are identified from production specifications and production information.
  • Costing sheets for sample or bulk production are developed to meet textile industry standards.
  • Costing sheets are checked against production requirements and budget information and completed according to industry standards and OHS practices
  • Cost estimates are finalised and communicated with relevant personnel and all documentation 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 to be considered

Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:

access and interpret information related to production of textiles, including materials and labour costs

identify costing factors, including industry and quality standards

perform calculations

compare and analyse costing information

evaluate information to develop cost estimates in line with requirements

communicate cost estimates to industry professionals and other appropriate personnel

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 and 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

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:

industry standards for costing specifications

pattern or design terminology

style features

quality standards and practices

sequence of operations

OHS practices including hazard identification and control measures

workplace practices

recording and reporting practices

Demonstrates skills to:

access industry standards

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

maintain accurate records

communicate within the workplace

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.
