Description
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to manage the production of jewellery or objects to ensure they comply with design specifications and quality standards.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Select production processes
  • 1.1 Examine design brief and specifications to determine required production expertise and services for jewellery or object
  • 1.2 Establish quality and service criteria for production processes
  • 1.3 Research possible jewellery or object suppliers or manufacturers and select most suitable resources
  • 1.4 Confirm that production process meets organisational objectives and performance systems
  • 1.5 Document production brief and plan
2 Brief production personnel
  • 2.1 Negotiate production arrangements and establish performance targets with key production personnel
  • 2.2 Assign tasks according to available expertise and production requirements
  • 2.3 Provide and explain jewellery or object design specifications, drawings, and all relevant information to production personnel
  • 2.4 Establish relevant technical, monitoring and reporting procedures
3 Monitor production
  • 3.1 Maintain ongoing communication with personnel to ensure obligations, quality, timelines, budget and technical constraints are met
  • 3.2 Address problems and make production modification decisions as required
  • 3.3 Ensure production changes are documented and reflected in design documentation
  • 3.4 Monitor production activities to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety (OHS) practices
4 Evaluate final product
  • 4.1 Collate and evaluate information on development process
  • 4.2 Assess jewellery or object outcome against specifications
  • 4.3 Assess production outcomes with personnel to review strengths and weaknesses of process

Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to oversee the production of a range of jewellery or objects to design specifications and according to production criteria.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently:
select and plan processes for production from designs
ensure production meets efficiency and quality standards
check compliance with specifications
communicate effectively with team members
solve production problems
monitor production progress and changes
monitor application of OHS practices in production operations
maintain accurate records.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment. Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Where applicable, reasonable adjustment must be made to work environments and training situations to accommodate ethnicity, age, gender, demographics and disability.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.
Method of assessment
Assessment must satisfy the endorsed Assessment Guidelines of the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package.
Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance (over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts) together with application of underpinning knowledge.
Assessment methods must be by direct observation of tasks and include questioning on underpinning knowledge to ensure its correct interpretation and application.
Assessment may be applied under project-related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process.
Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competency is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances.
Assessment may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency where required.
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
