AMPMGT502 Manage new product or process development
Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to cost, develop, evaluate and manage the commercial production of new products or processes.
The development of new products and processes can provide businesses with a competitive edge and lead to discovery of new markets.
This unit applies to senior staff in meat industry enterprises who have responsibility for research, development, evaluation and implementation of new products or processes.
This unit applies to individuals who take personal responsibility and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. They analyse information and exercise judgement to complete a range of advanced skilled activities.
All work in this area must be conducted in the context of Australian meat industry standards and regulations.
No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
