The student should include details of the construction of the prototype, from marking out materials to final assembly. The student can separate the construction plan by each component, then include an additional section to detail the plan for assembling the product. Students should consider including the following steps.  \n• Preparation (including collection of materials and creating templates/jigs)  \n• Marking out (including the preparation of computer aided design/computer aided manufacture (CADCAM) files)  \n• Cutting/machining  \n• Shaping  \n• Additive manufacturing  \n• Finishing  \n• Assembling  \n• Joining  \nThe construction plan is a planning document. It must be written before the prototype is manufactured; it must not be written retrospectively and it must not be a diary or narrative.  \nIf the construction plan is written retrospectively, the work fails to address the lowest markband for this criterion. Diaries of manufacture in addition to the construction plan are not required and are not assessed as part of the assessment criterion. Students must avoid writing diaries of manufacture as, if submitted, they will use up both word and page allocations while not contributing to the evidence for assessment against the criterion.  \nStudents must use the construction plan template. This is found at the bottom of the left-hand menu bar in the TSM.  \n\n| Processes | Equipment | Scheduling | Quality\u003Cbr>control | Risk\u003Cbr>assessment |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| - |  |  |  |  |\n| - |  |  |  |  |\n| - |  |  |  |  |\n| - |  |  |  |  |\n\nTable 6  \nConstruction plan template  \nProcesses  \nThe student must give a descriptive name to the process they will carry out.  \nEquipment  \nThe student must identify the equipment required to complete the process.  \nScheduling  \nThe student must estimate the time required for each process. The student should consider how this time is presented, for example, whether they work in minutes, hours, lessons or days. If working with lessons or days, there should be an indication of the actual time needed to complete the process.  \nQuality control  \nThe student must state how they will ensure high quality in the process. The best work for this aspect references measuring equipment, tolerances, use of go/no go gauges, dry-fit assembly, and jigs and templates where the same component is required multiple times.  \nRisk assessment  \nThe student must identify any risks associated with the processes or materials used, but must also state any preventative strategies that could be taken to reduce the risk. The student must aim to reduce any risk as effectively as possible.  \nTogether with the drawings developed for strand C ii, the construction plan should be in sufficient detail for a third party to follow to create the prototype.  \nCompleting the construction plan  \nWhen completing the construction plan, students must not use extended writing to address this strand.  \nThere must be no more than 10 words per cell in the construction plan.  \nIf there are any cells in the construction plan table that exceed 10 words, all words in the table will contribute to the word count.  \nExamples of performance  \nThe following examples are extracts from a full construction plan. To see examples of complete construction plans, please see the examples of student work included in the TSM.  \nExample of high performance (7–9 markband)  \nThe student produces a detailed plan for the manufacture of the prototype.  \nThe three processes included below are an extract from a full construction plan for the prototype as described in the preamble to this section.  \nThe student completes a comprehensive and detailed plan for the manufacture of the prototype.
