Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit specifies the outcome required to identify qualities of high volume technology production and design a furniture product which utilises this technology to produce details and components for the design. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in the wide variety of furniture maker operations. The competency applies to a custom furniture business and/or design support environment and involves application of skills and knowledge at a Diploma level. These skills and knowledge are to be used within the scope of the individual's job and authority. This unit covers employability skills in teamwork and communication in order to work with others in the design process. Planning and organising and problem solving skills are required to apply design processes and initiative and enterprise are required to develop design ideas. Self management and learning skills are applied to assess and reflect on own design skills and identify areas for improvement. |
