Elements of Competency
Performance Criteria
Element: Prepare for work
Specifications, patterns and/or plans are read and interpreted to identify required fabrics, number and nature of items to be cut and required equipment
Workplace health and safety requirements, including personal protection needs, are observed throughout the work
Fabrics, work method and sequence are determined
Suitable work area is selected, prepared and cleaned of any contaminants
Appropriate equipment and tools (including scissors and blades) are selected for the fabrics to be cut and checked for safe operation
Fabric is selected and checked in terms of quantity, quality, contaminants, size, pattern and consistency in accordance with workplace procedures
Scissors and any other cutting equipment are checked prior to use for appropriate sharpness, set operation and safe condition
Element: Develop cutting list and cutting plan
Cutting requirements including bias or other instructions are noted
Measurements for upholstered items are taken and listed
Cutting list is developed using appropriate format, abbreviations and terminology for cut sizes, names and number of pieces in accordance with workplace procedures
Cutting plan is developed in accordance with workplace procedures, noting if fabric is railroaded
Element: Prepare materials for cutting
Fabrics are selected in accordance with work order and laid out and inspected for flaws and appropriate finish
Nap/pile direction, direction of pattern, pattern repeat and finished side of the materials are identified
Fabrics are squared up to the edges or guide markings on the cutting table
Patterns are laid out following work procedures and instructions using registration points on the pattern and other instructions to match required fabric pattern
Element: Cut material
Measurements are confirmed and appropriate adjustments to the positioning of fabric are made
Tools and equipment are checked for operation
Required cutting operations are completed to cut out fabrics following work instructions
Cut fabric is inspected for quality and unsatisfactory items are processed in accordance with workplace instructions
Fabrics are folded, wrapped using appropriate protective covers and care label information attached prior to despatch to next process following workplace procedures
Element: Complete work
Unused materials are stored as required
Workplace required documentation, including stock usage, is completed and processed following procedures
Work area is cleaned and damaged tools and equipment tagged as required
Waste is collected for recycling/reuse as required by workplace procedures
Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Critical aspects of evidence
Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information
Identify materials used and any special cutting requirements for those materials
Follow work instructions, operating procedures and inspection practices to:
minimise the risk of injury to self and others
prevent damage to goods, equipment and products
maintain required production output and product quality
As a minimum, measure, develop cutting plan, lay out and cut out at least five layers of fabric for an item of upholstered furniture
Work effectively with others
Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment
Resource implications
Appropriate scissors and tools, fabrics, work order, workplace information including work procedures and/or equipment instructions.
Method of assessment
Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts.
Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge.
Assessment should be conducted over time and may be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency which form a part of the job role.
Context of assessment
Assessment may occur on the job or in a workplace simulated facility with relevant process equipment, materials, work instructions and deadlines.
Submission Requirements
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)
Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills
collect, organise and understand information related to work orders, plans and safety procedures
communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications, coordination of work with supervisor, other workers and customers, and the reporting of work outcomes and problems
plan and organise activities including the preparation and layout of the work area and the obtaining of equipment and materials to avoid any back tracking, workflow interruptions or wastage
work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise workflow and productivity
use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements
use pre-checking and inspection techniques to anticipate cutting problems, avoid re-working and wastage
use workplace technology related to the development of cutting plans and cutting fabrics, including tools, equipment, materials and measuring devices
Required knowledge
fabric types, common faults and inspection procedures
design features of the finished furnishing items in relation to developing the cutting plan, laying out and cutting the fabrics
work requirements including workplace standards
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Unit scope
This unit covers work involving developing a cutting plan and cutting multiple layer upholstery fabrics by hand or automatic method
A cutting plan is developed to ensure fabric is laid correctly to indicate run for each panel, the dimensions for each component part and to minimise fabric waste
Unit context
Workplace health and safety requirements may include OHS legislation, material safety management systems, hazardous and dangerous goods codes and safe operating procedures
Work requires individuals to demonstrate discretion, judgement and problem solving skills in the development of cutting plans and the cutting of material. This may be demonstrated either individually or in a team environment
Work is carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, relevant health regulations, environmental legislation, manual handling procedures and organisation insurance requirements
Tools and equipment may include, but are not limited to:
cutting table
tape measures
scissors
cutting blades
round knife cutter
straight knife
automatic cutting machines and cloth cutting machine
Materials to be cut may include but are not limited to:
velvet
vinyl and plain and patterned fabric
Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is to include that prescribed under legislation, regulations and enterprise practices and procedures. It may include:
safety glasses/goggles
hair nets
ear muffs/plugs
gloves
footwear and protective clothing
Information and procedures
Workplace procedures relating to the setting and operation of machinery
Workplace procedures relating to the development of cutting plans
Work instructions, including job sheets, patterns, drawings and designs
Workplace procedures relating to reporting and communication
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
