Description
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to develop, from design concepts, detailed prototype construction plans, specifications and work orders for use during trial construction phase. It also covers the outcomes required to coordinate the construction of prototypes and to complete evaluation and reporting requirements. Work is completed in a forest products factory setting.The unit applies to Designer (Manufacturing and Engineered Wood Products), Production Manager (Timber Truss & Frame), Designer (Timber Truss & Frame)No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Develop prototype specifications
  • 1.1 Access and interpret design concepts or specifications.
  • 1.2 Prepare and document detailed prototype construction plans, specifications and work order for use during trial construction phase.
  • 1.3 Specify prototype purpose and outline requirements from design concepts or customer requirements.
  • 1.4 Complete a detailed analysis of options for materials and construction in line with organisational procedures and environmental protection practices.
  • 1.5 Specify construction materials, requirements and methods based on option selected.
2. Plan and prepare prototype for construction
  • 2.1 Source materials and hardware and other resources in line with site procedures and budgetary limits.
  • 2.2 Assess and select suitable resources in line with options for materials detailed in prototype construction plan and specifications.
