Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to cost products for volume production within the fashion design industry. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
The unit applies to costing products within the fashion design industry, while deciding on the most cost-effective mechanism for the production to occur. In-house, cut, make and trim (CMT) and offshore production must be investigated and competency in costing all three production options must be achieved. All work to be costed will be carried out according to workplace practices and procedures applying at the point of production. 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 skills in planning and organising and communication skills in order to determine, calculate and document costs for fashion products. Problem solving and numeracy skills are required to conduct costing calculations. |

Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Identify available production options |
1.1 Different production options are identified. 1.2 Features of production options are identified |
2 Identify costs associated with each production option |
2.1 Cost benefits of each option are identified and compared. 2.2 Cost negatives of each option are identified and compared. 2.3 Previous production records are reviewed and appropriate personnel are consulted, to determine costing efficiency of production options. 2.4 Variables which impact on design production costs are identified. 2.5 OHS practices are considered in costing. |
3 Identify industry standards for design production |
3.1 Target market for end products in design production is identified. 3.2 Differences between short-run or design production and large scale volume production are identified and compared. 3.3 Quality industry standards for design production are identified. |
4 Develop costing sheets to industry standards |
4.1 Costing sheet is completed for an in-house design production run. 4.2 Costing sheet is completed for a cut, make and trim production run. 4.3 Costing sheet is completed for an offshore production run. 4.4 Costing sheets are used to compare and select most appropriate design production option. 4.5 Quality standards of work and received materials are assessed. |
