Unit of Competency MSFDN4003 - Produce patterns and templates
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency covers developing patterns and/or templates for production processes by hand, by using appropriate tools and equipment, and by computer-assisted production.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessors must:

hold training and assessment competencies as determined by the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) or its successors

have vocational competency in the furnishing industry at least to the level being assessed with broad industry knowledge and experience, usually combined with a relevant industry qualification

be familiar with the current skills and knowledge used and have relevant, current experience in the furnishing industry.

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time rather than a single assessment event and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.

Assessment must be by observation of relevant tasks with questioning on underpinning knowledge and, where applicable, multimedia evidence, supervisor’s reports, projects and work samples.

Assessment is to be conducted on single units of competency or in conjunction with other related units of competency. Foundation skills are integral to competent performance in the unit and should not be assessed separately.

Assessment must occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process, equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.

Access is required to drawings, job specifications, information on production/fabrication process, production materials and relevant computer equipment and software.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for and dimension the task
  • Work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
  • Customer orders are interpreted to establish required sizes of finished products
  • Size requirements are checked in relation to the production process and finishing capacity of the workplace
       
Element: Plan process
  • Material for pattern or template is identified for approximate size and characteristics
  • Required instruments and equipment are identified, located and assembled
  • Drawings and related specifications are interpreted
  • Procedures for using pattern development instruments and tools are checked and equipment is prepared for use
       
Element: Plot dimensions
  • Equipment and tools are used following normal workplace procedures
  • Each dimension is measured, exploded and plotted maintaining appropriate angles, arcs and curves
  • Visual inspection and measurements are used to compare pattern dimensions and shapes with drawings and specifications
       
Element: Complete pattern or template
  • Pattern or template is completed ensuring that the pattern indicates completion date and original drawing details
  • Required workplace approval of pattern or template is obtained
  • Plans are marked with notations for workplace requirements, including authorship, process or customer requirements, authorisation and any review dates
  • Plans are copied and filed, as required, according to workplace policies and procedures
