Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to manage processes for pattern making in high-volume production of complex or specialised garments. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
The unit applies to the development and implementation of pattern making plans for complex or specialised 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 problem solving and planning and organising to manage the development of pattern making processes and address any issues that arise. Teamwork skills are required to effectively allocate tasks and manage personnel. Communication skills are used to document plans and provide briefing to team members. Initiative and enterprise, self management and learning skills are applied to review processes and look for and implement modifications and improvements. |

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Analyse pattern making methodologies |
1.1 Pattern -making methodologies are identified. 1.2 Critical measurements used in pattern derivation for unique body shapes, features and specialised garments are analysed. 1.3 Industry applications of pattern-making methodologies are analysed. |
2 Develop plans |
2.1 Process for receiving design brief and specifications are identified. 2.2 Design brief and specifications are received and interpreted. 2.3 Pattern-making requirements and grading methodologies to be applied are determined. 2.4 Critical paths are analysed. 2.5 Pattern-making plan for implementation is developed and managed according to design requirements. |
3 Manage development of patterns |
3.1 Suitable blocks are selected or developed. 3.2 Suitable style patterns are selected or developed for sampling and production. 3.3 Grade plans for the range are selected or developed. 3.4 Specifications for blocks, style patterns and grade plans are confirmed. 3.5 Patterns are prepared and presented for implementation. |
4 Manage pattern process |
4.1 Patterns are assessed and confirmed for sampling and product development. 4.2 Process is communicated with team members and tasks are delegated and scheduled. 4.3 Implementation of plan is monitored and supervised to ensure production and quality meet required standards. 4.4 Production problems, faults and quality issues are identified and rectified. 4.5 Where required, changes and adjustments are made to patterns. 4.6 Sign off for patterns is identified and obtained. 4.7 Grades, markers and instructions for manufacture are completed or confirmed. 4.8 Implementation of OHS practices is confirmed. |
5 Maintain records |
5.1 Records are maintained and reports prepared, where necessary. 5.2 All changes to patterns are documented and methods and formulas described. |
