Producing and implementing

This activity involves the fabrication, integration and production of the proposed design. Students commence the assembly and fabrication of both the system and its subsystems, employing a variety of production processes, tools, components and materials while managing risk and complying with OHS requirements. Production processes used will depend on the system being built but could include the following: joining, cutting, filing, bending, shaping, soldering, printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, and fabricating. Any necessary adjustments, modifications or repairs are implemented to ensure optimal performance.

Second Diamond

• Undertake production work to fabricate, integrate, produce and implement the system.
• Test and troubleshoot components, subsystems and systems.
• Implement the work plan using a range of production processes.
• Implement and document risk assessment and management processes to use materials and tools compliant with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) requirements throughout all stages of the production and use of the system.
• Make adjustments and/or repairs and modifications to systems.

Evaluation

• Evaluate implementation of work plan.
• Analyse and evaluate performance using diagnostic testing.
• Evaluate and report on the systems produced and processes used throughout the process:
  • record and reflect on decisions made and modifications
  • draw conclusions
  • make recommendations for improvement
