Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to determine the required process control system for a food production process. The individual is required to demonstrate deep knowledge in a specific technical area and to design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems. This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for maintaining product safety, quality and efficiency in food production, including general food production, meat and seafood industries, and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse production processes
  • 1.1 Identify the processes used in the food production
  • 1.2 Establish the characteristics used to define the operation of a process
  • 1.3 Identify the operating principles of the processes
  • 1.4 Establish the operating standards, capabilities and maintenance requirements for equipment and accessories used in the specified production process
  • 1.5 Define product characteristics and common variations
2. Determine control mechanisms, modes of control and data collection points for a specified food production process
  • 2.1 Examine the operation of different types of control mechanisms
  • 2.2 Determine modes of control that can be used with the various control mechanisms
  • 2.3 Document data requirements and collection points appropriate for food safety, quality and production standards
  • 2.4 Adjust procedures to deal with non-conformance in relation to process and the final product
3. Verify process control systems for food process
  • 3.1 Consult with appropriate operational, quality and maintenance personnel to ensure understanding of process control requirements for food processes
  • 3.2 Analyse standard operational procedures for accuracy and relevance
  • 3.3 Conduct test runs and confirm compliance with requirements
  • 3.4 Apply statistical analysis to verify the process and recommend required system improvements
  • 3.5 Arrange the ongoing collection and analysis of required data
