This unit applies to translating information received on customer requirements into hard copy form for costing and production purposes. Work may include interaction with enterprise clients either individually or in collaboration with other personnel from the operator's enterprise. Work may be conducted in a variety of environments, such as: operational indoor workplaces operational outdoor workplaces Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities. Work is performed within defined procedures under direct supervision. 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 employment standard operating procedures work instructions oral, written and visual communication quality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section output housekeeping tasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recycling This unit requires the application of skills associated with communication such as interpreting customer requirements and translating information to diagrams and sketches for production purposes, as well as an application of knowledge of technology used in canvas or sail manufacturing. Problem solving and planning and organising skills must be applied to identify manufacturing requirements. Self management skills are applied to ensure workplace and quality standards are achieved. |

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 |
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. | |
