- 5.2 Technical aspects of production are described
- 5.3 Specification sheet is completed to guide production.
- 5.4 Production plan is developed to guide production.
- 5.5 Textile sample is produced according to plan and OHS practices
6 Test product sample to evaluate design and production processes
- 6.1 Textile sample is evaluated against design specifications and design brief.
- 6.2 Textile sample is tested to ensure quality and performance standards are met
- 6.3 Design is evaluated to determine necessary modifications.
- 6.4 Production process is evaluated to determine necessary improvements
- 6.5 Overall evaluation of design and process is confirmed and process and improvements documented.
7 Finalise textile design
- 7.1 Evaluation of textile sample design and process is discussed with design team and production personnel
