Knowledge of: purpose and basic principles of each stage of the process, including the relationships between variables, such as pressure, temperature and volume on processing outcomes basic operating principles of equipment, such as main equipment components, status and purpose of guards, equipment operating capacities and applications, and the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation services required and action to take if services are not available the flow of the deaeration, mixing and carbonation process and the effect of outputs on downstream processes, including how each stage of the process affects related stages and how the outputs of this process affect the filling stage quality characteristics to be achieved by each stage of the process, including the amount of dissolved air to be removed at deaeration, the typical water:syrup ratios for product types and the volume of carbon dioxide to be dissolved in the aerated product quality and condition requirements of inputs and effect of variation on process performance, such as the characteristics of different ingredients and how they behave when processed,e.g. the difference between processing products containing fruit juice compared with those that do not operating requirements and parameters and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment and early warning signs of potential problems methods used to monitor the production process, including inspecting, measuring and testing as required by the process inspection or test points (control points) in the process and the related procedures and recording requirements, including test procedures for brix and carbonation and other tests as required by the process contamination/food safety risks associated with the process and related control measures common causes of variation and corrective action required occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards and controls requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the process and workplace production requirements, including emergency and routine shutdowns and procedures to follow in the event of a power outage isolation, lock out and tag out procedures and responsibilities product/process changeover procedures and responsibilities procedures and responsibility for reporting production and performance information environmental issues and controls relevant to the process, including waste/rework collection and handling procedures related to the process basic operating principles of process control where relevant, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment routine maintenance procedures where relevant cleaning and sanitation procedures where relevant |
