Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to develop a design for custom made footwear
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Research footwear designs
- 1.1 Information sources on footwear design and construction techniques are identified and accessed to maintain currency of knowledge
- 1.2 Current and historical trends in footwear design and construction techniques are analysed
- 1.3 Impact of footwear componentry designs on footwear are analysed
- 1.4 Footwear designs for various purposes are analysed
- 1.5 Design tools are used to develop design concepts
- 1.6 Current industry practices are analysed for application in own work
2 Determine design requirements
- 2.1 Purpose of footwear is confirmed with client
- 2.2 Client requirements for footwear design are confirmed with client
- 2.3 Communication skills are used to identify key priorities of client
- 2.4 Preliminary design concepts are explored with the client using sketches, pictures, software tools or sample shoes
3 Undertake footwear measurements
- 3.1 Measurements of foot are taken to determine footwear size requirements and in accordance with OHS practices
- 3.2 Gait analysis is performed to obtain baseline data of clients walk pattern
- 3.3 Trial fit is conducted using commercial footwear or client's own footwear
- 3.4 Measurements are reviewed to confirm that all required information has been collected
4 Confirm footwear design
- 4.1 Cost estimates are calculated and provided to client
- 4.2 Design to be used for footwear production is finalised and order confirmed
- 4.3 Design and requirements are documented
5 Develop design specifications
- 5.1 Design specifications are developed to guide production
- 5.2 Design specifications are documented
RANGE STATEMENT
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the Performance Criteria, is detailed below. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs if the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.
Design tools may include:
software programs
electronic tools
storyboards
catalogues, pictures
drawings and illustrations
Requirements may include:
budget
timing
costs
quality
materials
colour
footwear components
OHS practices
OHS practices must include hazard identification and control, risk assessment and implementation of risk reduction measures specific to the tasks described by this unit, and may include:
manual handling techniques
standard operating procedures
personal protective equipment
safe materials handling
taking of rest breaks
ergonomic arrangement of workplaces
following marked walkways
safe storage of equipment
housekeeping
reporting accidents and incidents
other OHS practices relevant to the job and enterprise

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
communicate with client to determine footwear requirements
explore design concepts
take accurate measurements and perform foot analysis
calculate cost estimates
develop design specifications
apply workplace health and safety policies in work operations
maintain accurate records
Consistency in performance
Consistently applies skills and knowledge when:
organising work
completing tasks
identifying improvements
using workplace practices
using OHS practices
recording and reporting accidents and incidents
assessing operational readiness of equipment used and work processes
recognising and adapting to cultural differences in the workplace, including modes of behaviour and interactions
completing work systematically with attention to detail without damage to goods and equipment
Resource implications
Access is required to real or appropriately simulated situations, including work areas, materials and equipment, and to information on workplace practices and OHS practices.
Context for assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in an appropriately simulated environment.
Interdependent Assessment
This unit may be assessed independently or in combination with other relevant units.
