Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Establish design requirements
  • 1.1 New product design information is identified from customer needs and workplace requirements
  • 1.2 Product information is gathered and analysed, and work plan is developed
  • 1.3 Constraints on design concepts are identified and documented
  • 1.4 Suitable strategies are developed to address identified design constraints
2. Create design concept
  • 2.1 Initial design concept based on identified requirements is created
  • 2.2 Function, physical requirements and impact of the design concept are reviewed with appropriate personnel
  • 2.3 Modifications to the initial design concept are made according to feedback provided by engineering, marketing and other appropriate personnel
3. Produce concept sketches
  • 3.1 Sketches are prepared to illustrate and explain proposed design concept
  • 3.2 Concept sketches are reviewed and evaluated in consultation with engineering, marketing and other appropriate personnel and suitable changes are made
  • 3.3 Critical dimensions and data of design concept are identified
  • 3.4 Drawings of components and sub-assemblies are prepared with required level of accuracy
