This unit covers the skills and knowledge to calculate production costs of textile designs. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
The unit applies to the calculation of cost requirements and analysis of data to determine cost-effective means for the production of textile designs. 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:
This unit 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 and determine cost effective practices. |

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Analyse options for textile production |
1.1 Production requirements are analysed to determine scale of production 1.2 Options for the production of textiles are determined in line with product specifications 1.3 Information on cost of each option is gathered and data is analysed 1.4 Production options are compared in terms of their cost benefits and cost negatives 1.5 Information from previous production records are reviewed and compared with current options in terms of cost, and in line with quality outcomes 1.6 Potential options are selected and relevant information documented |
2 Assess influences on production costs |
2.1 Factors that may affect cost of production are determined 2.2 Quality and industry standards for design production are identified and implications for production assessed 2.3 Production options are considered in line with OHS practices 2.4 Influences on production costs are assessed and initial costing modified 2.5 Production options are reviewed in line with additional information and most suitable options refined. |
3 Develop and analyse costing sheets for textile production |
3.1 Costing sheets are completed for selected production options 3.2 Calculations are checked and data is collated 3.3 Data from costing sheets is interpreted to assess most cost efficient option from production, in line with design and quality requirements 3.4 Cost analysis is documented and presented to appropriate personnel to review suitability of options 3.5 Cost analysis is finalized and all documentation is completed |
