Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge to determine and specify advanced construction processes to achieve desired design details.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Determine design details
- 1.1 Design details are identified and clarified.1.2 Garment is enhanced by using design details.1.3 Positions of design details on garment are identified.
2 Develop design detail specifications
- 2.1 Artwork/drawings/specifications are prepared in appropriate format, including any additional documentation required.2.2 Advancedgarment construction processes are identified and planned.2.3 Machine or equipment requirements are determined.
3 Plan advanced construction process
- 3.1 Plan for advanced construction process is developed.3.2 Garment construction plan is documented.
4 Produce sample design detail
- 4.1 Appropriate fabric and components are selected.4.2 Advanced construction processes are undertaken according to OHS practices and checked to ensure design detail is achieved.4.3 Sample is evaluated for desired results.4.4 Modifications are made to plan and sample as required.
5 Present advanced construction process plan
- 5.1 Process plan is discussed with team to ensure all requirements are understood.5.2 Tasks are appropriately assigned according to available expertise and production requirements.5.3 Information relating to standard operating procedures, constraints, preferred processes, designs and advance construction process is conveyed to team.5.4 Design specification sheet, drawings, samples and patterns are presented and analysed with team.5.5 Relevant technical, monitoring and reporting procedures are established.
6 Maintain records
- 6.1 Records are maintained and reports prepared, where necessary.6.2 Records are filed and stored.
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.

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:
identify design details
identify process to achieve design details
identify advanced garment construction processes
identify quality standards
develop standard operating procedure
communicate effectively with construction team, customers, etc.
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.
