Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to systematically analyse, assess and determine the feasibility of timber product designs for use into a commercially viable production. The unit applies to individuals who work as timber designers and production managers in a timber manufacturing facility. They generally demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility in known or changing contexts and within broad but established parameters.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse design objectives
  • 1.1 Identify design purpose and investigate potential market for the product
  • 1.2 Analyse intended production materials and processes
2. Determine design assessment criteria
  • 2.1 Establish criteria for assessment of product material options
  • 2.2 Establish criteria for assessment of product functionality
  • 2.3 Establish criteria for assessment of production process options, considering the impact of these on production operations
  • 2.4 Establish criteria for assessment of safety and potential liability issues
  • 2.5 Establish criteria for assessment of costs and marketability
  • 2.6 Determine weighting of scores for each criterion according to the importance of the issue
3. Apply the assessment criteria
  • 3.1 Select potential and actual products competing in the marketplace for comparative purposes
  • 3.2 Score and grade design against established criteria and record results
  • 3.3 Score and grade competing products against the established criteria and record results
  • 3.4 Record overall assessment results
4. Establish feasibility and options
  • 4.1 Analyse assessment results for the design and competing products
  • 4.2 Reject designs that show poor assessment results and provide no potential for variation
  • 4.3 Identify designs that show poor assessment results but provide potential options for variation, and refer to appropriate personnel
  • 4.4 Identify designs that satisfy criteria and indicate the potential for success
  • 4.5 Conditionally endorse feasible designs, record conditions and refer to appropriate personnel
  • 4.6 Record assessment outcomes and maintain and process reports according to workplace procedures
