Learning Outcomes
In this unit students will develop knowledge and skills associated with communication to interpret production specifications, calculate costs, maintain records and prepare reports. Initiative and enterprise, planning and organising and problem solving are required to examine production options and determine required variations to specifications, processes and schedules. This unit also requires an ability to learn and apply new information. Self management skills are used to ensure work meets quality and work standards.

Overview of Assessment
Tasks that have not be authenticated in class as the student’s own work will not be considered for assessment. Regular attendance is necessary. Assessment will consist of both theory and practical based exercises, predominantly in class but some out of class research and information formatting is required as well.
Assessment Tasks
Assessment Task one:
Identify criteria and produce a completed production specification sheet for chosen style
Assessment Task two:
Written Identification of a range of production machines, requirements and limitations involved in the production of the chosen style.
Assessment Task three:
Identify, document and produce a detailed costing analysis for the production of chosen style.
