Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to develop a textile product range and present the range to the client.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine requirements for textile product range
  • 1.1 Product development brief is interpreted to determine designrequirements and intended purpose of product range.
  • 1.2 Design elements, themes and initial concepts are recognised and analysed
  • 1.3 Profile of target market population is analysed to determine particular product requirements and market trends
  • 1.4 Styles, colours and types of yarn required are determined
2 Investigate product development factors
  • 2.1 Textile design trends are researched and applied to product development
  • 2.2 Existing themes are researched and applied to product development
  • 2.3 Yarn and material suppliers are sourced and availability, suitability and costing of resources is determined
  • 2.4 Supply chains for product range are investigated to provide information about product development, production and sales flows
3 Develop textile product range
  • 3.1 Concepts are developed in line with brief to explore design options
  • 3.2 Textile product range options are determined
  • 3.3 Cost of materials and resources required to produce range are estimated
  • 3.4 Labour, overheads and other production costs for proposed range are estimated
  • 3.5 Consultations are undertaken with design team to refine product design and range options
  • 3.6 Preliminary plans are reviewed and modifications made accordingly
  • 3.7 Product range designs are drawn and documentation is completed
4 Present textile product range for approval
  • 4.1 Designs for full textile product range are presented to client using a range of presentation tools, and in line with OHS practices
  • 4.2 Features, costs and benefits of proposed designs are explained to the client in line with initial design brief
  • 4.3 Feedback is received from client and modifications are made accordingly
  • 4.4 Product range is reviewed to confirm acceptance of proposed designs
  • 4.5 Development process is finalised and relevant documentation is completed
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.

Critical aspects of evidence to be considered
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
interpret and apply design requirements
identify and interpret design elements, concepts and themes
research information relevant to design and production of product range
make cost calculations and estimates
produce designs and specifications manually or by use of computer aided design systems
use presentation tools to communicate ideas and designs
communicate effectively with clients and design team
apply OHS practices 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.
