Knowledge of: purpose and basic principles of the process, including the method and sequence of ingredient addition required to achieve required blend characteristics the purpose of packaging and properties required of packaging materials used, coding requirements and related legal requirements, including product weight 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 this process and the effect of outputs on downstream processes quality characteristics required of process outputs, such as packaging quality and seal integrity as required effect of variation in inputs, such as ingredient quality/condition, packaging components/consumables and/or services, on process performance 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, such as sieve or screen damage methods used to monitor the process, such as monitoring blend characteristics and weights inspection or test points (control points) in the process and the related procedures and recording requirements contamination/food safety risks associated with the process and related control measures, including product compatibility, cross-contamination risks and associated cleaning requirements common causes of variation and corrective action required, including procedures to manage the reprocessing (return to blend) of the first part of the blend to minimise non-conforming output occupational health and safety (OHS) hazards and controls requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the process and workplace production/packaging requirements, including emergency and routine shutdowns and procedures to follow in the event of a power outage product/batch changeover procedures and responsibilities isolation, lock out and tag out 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 sampling and testing associated with process monitoring and control where relevant cleaning and sanitation procedures where relevant |
