Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Research global trends
- 1.1 Global tends are researched and forecast in relation to processes and products
- 1.2 Developments in technology are investigated to ensure all possibilities are considered
2 Identify manufacturing capabilities or implications
- 2.1 Manufacturing capabilities are defined in consultation with relevant personnel on issues such as human resources, materials, financial restraints, equipment capabilities, timelines and efficiency
- 2.2 Options or requirements for use of external resources to undertake part of the work are determined when defining production capabilities
3 Contribute to strategic planning
- 3.1 Parameters are clarified, in consultation with production development, sales and marketing team, management and client where required
- 3.2 A strategy plan and critical path plan is developed, when necessary
- 3.3 Constraints are identified and taken into account when formulating the strategic plan
4 Undertake medical grade footwear research
- 4.1 Trends in patient profiles and medical grade footwear conditions are monitored and analysed
- 4.2 Research results are recorded in a manner that allows for ease of retrieval and later comparative study
- 4.3 Trends and analyses are reported to appropriate agencies, professional associations, government departments, other health professionals and seminars and conferences as appropriate
5 Prepare reports and presentations
- 5.1 Relevant information is identified and compiled; data is checked when required
- 5.2 Research reports are prepared for presentation to conferences and seminars
- 5.3 Other reports and presentations are prepared in accordance with workplace procedures
