Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Establish design production plan
- 1.1 Information about previous design production is reviewed and relevance for current activities assessed.
- 1.2 Business goals and strategies and organisation systems for production of designs are reviewed and relevance for current activities assessed.
- 1.3 Design requirements, timelines and budget are identified and confirmed.
- 1.4 Quality standards are identified.
- 1.5 Key personnel are consulted to assist in production plan development, as required.
- 1.6 Planning techniques and tools are used to develop production plan and schedule which includes critical path, timeline and key outcomes.
2 Select and brief project team
- 2.1 Key personnel are selected to conduct development activities.
- 2.2 Production plan is discussed with team to ensure all requirements are understood.
- 2.3 Tasks are assigned according to available expertise and production requirements.
- 2.4 Information relating to standards, constraints, preferred processes, designs and techniques is conveyed to team.
- 2.5 Design specification sheet, drawings, samples and patterns are presented and analysed with team.
- 2.6 Relevant technical, monitoring and reporting procedures are established.
3 Monitor progress
- 3.1 Ongoing communication with team members is maintained to ensure obligations, quality, timelines, budget and technical constraints are met.
- 3.2 Any problems or revisions are reviewed or prepared.
- 3.3 Quality assurance practices are conducted to check pattern, sizing, materials and construction comply with design specifications.
- 3.4 Changes to design specifications are communicated with designer and patternmaker and documented.
- 3.5 Production activities are monitored to ensure compliance with OHS practices.
4 Facilitate process or work flow problem resolution
- 4.1 Methods to solve process or work flow problems are identified through facilitation of meetings or discussions.
- 4.2 Knowledge of process improvement and efficient production techniques/systems are used to assist in systematic identification and resolution of process or work flow problems.
- 4.3 Preferred option to resolve problem is recommended and documented.
- 4.4 Implementation of recommended problem resolution option is facilitated.
5 Monitor production improvements/ variations
- 5.1 Improvements/variations to production are monitored to ensure outcome meets specifications and production schedule.
- 5.2 Data is collated and analysed to evaluate effectiveness of production improvements or variations.
- 5.3 Decisions on improvements or variations to production are made within limits of management responsibility.
6 Evaluate final product
- 6.1 Information on development process is assembled and evaluated.
- 6.2 Product outcome is assessed against specifications.
- 6.3 Significant results are identified, in consultation with others as necessary, and used to draft plans for future action.
- 6.4 Production outcomes are discussed with project team to review strengths and weaknesses of process.
7 Cost outcome
- 7.1 Development costs are monitored.
- 7.2 Actual costs are compared to budget estimates and inconsistencies identified and explained.
- 7.3 Impact of costing inconsistencies is considered for effect on product sale cost.
8 Maintain records
- 8.1 Production and monitoring records are maintained and reports prepared, where necessary.
- 8.2 Pattern and design production processes and findings are documented.
- 8.3 Presentations on production performance and developments are made at management meetings.

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
Demonstrates skills and knowledge to:
select and plan processes for production from fashion designs
ensure production meets efficiency standards
check compliance with specified requirements
