Evidence Guide
The Evidence Guide identifies the critical aspects, knowledge and skills to be demonstrated to confirm competency for this unit. This is an integral part of the assessment of competency and should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement.
Critical aspects of evidence
Locate, interpret and apply relevant information.
Apply safety requirements throughout the work sequence, including the use of personal protective clothing and equipment.
Identify requirements of task and organise work to achieve goals and results
Interpret specifications and measurements in two and three-dimensional form.
Satisfy ergonomic criteria during the drawing process.
Present relevant information within the production drawing using both manual and computer-aided processes and techniques.
Suggest improvements to drawing activities and where authorised, negotiate changes.
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace cultures and environment.
Underpinning knowledge
Manual and computer-aided drawing processes and techniques.
Ergonomic principles for furniture design and manufacture.
Presentation standards.
Enterprise or equivalent operating procedures, including procedures for preparing drawings and presenting information.
Relevant regulatory requirements, recognised standards and codes, and industry practices.
Underpinning skills
Information. Research, collect, organise and understand information related to the design concept, including the relevant technical, regulatory, cultural, environmental and safety requirements.
Communication. Communicate ideas and information to enable clarification of the conceptual requirements, co-ordination of work with site supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems.
Planning. Plan and organise activities, including the preparation and layout of the worksite and the obtaining of equipment, systems and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage.
Teamwork. Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using co-operative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity.
Mathematical ideas and techniques. Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and dimensions, create accurate and scaled drawings, and estimate material requirements.
Solve problems. Create and apply systematic problem solving techniques to anticipate drawing problems, avoid reworking and avoid wastage.
Use of technology. Use the workplace technology related to the drawing, including drafting tools and equipment, calculators and measuring devices and computing/computer-aided systems.
Resource implications
Design concept, specifications, dimensions and drawing equipment.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and/or samples of work and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a simulated workplace facility with relevant equipment, simulated work instructions and deadlines.
