Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

LMTTD4011A - Estimate costs for development of textile designs

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Determine cost considerations for raw materials

  1. Product and design specifications are analysed and yarn and othermaterial requirements are determined
  2. Production requirements are analysed to determine impact on material selection and costs
  3. Costing factors to be taken into consideration when purchasing materials for textile products are identified and related to production requirements
  4. Market forces that affect costing for the textiles industry are identified and considered in line with purchasing requirements.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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.
