Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit specifies the outcomes required to apply ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemic considerations to a product applying integral design elements and principles, based on a given design brief. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in furnishing operations of all sizes. The application of ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemic considerations to a product applies to an industry workplace or design studio environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a para-professional level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual's job and authority. This unit requires employability skills in communication and problem solving in order to analyse designs and complete documentation. Planning and organising and technology skills are applied in the application of information. |

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Plan for application |
1.1. Applicable OHS , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to applying ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemic considerations to a product are verified and complied with 1.2. Design brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with appropriate personnel 1.3. Client requirements and desires are reviewed, confirmed and clarified 1.4. Communication with others is established and maintained 1.5. Problems or underlying factors to be addressed by the design brief are verified 1.6. Elements of design are diagnosed for the intended design brief 1.7. Principles of design are diagnosed for the intended design brief |
2. Apply ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemics |
2.1. Concepts for the proposed solution to the design brief are reviewed for ergonomic, anthropometric and proxemic considerations 2.2. Human body functions are assessed in the context of solutions for possible problems in supporting bodies of all shapes and sizes 2.3. Ergonomic factors of a design are interrogated and refined 2.4. Anthropometric factors of a design are interrogated and refined 2.5. Proxemic considerations of a design are interrogated and reviewed 2.6. Sample maquette and prototype are reviewed in accordance with ergonomics, anthropometrics and proxemics 2.7. Different solutions to satisfy the requirements of the design brief are explored and reviewed 2.8. Final working drawings in full scale are developed to test the ergonomic values of a design 2.9. Specifications are reviewed and compiled in readiness for production 2.10. Concept is planned for manufacture taking into account available equipment, resources, production sequences, schedules and timelines |
