Issue Date: March 2024


Team leaders and Quality Assurance (QA) Officers in the meat industry are required to implement a wide variety of work plans such as schedules, work instructions, customer orders and daily plans. They will be required to interpret, prioritise, communicate and implement plans in the context of a team environment.

Work and tasks may be allocated through managers, supervisors, work schedules or plans. They may be individual tasks and jobs or team function work schedules.

This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to complete tasks individually or in a team context. The tasks involve established routines and procedures using allocated resources with access to readily available procedures and advice. Work plans may need to be modified with supervisor/team leader agreement to suit changing conditions and priorities.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

The meat industry has specific and clear requirements for evidence. A minimum of three forms of evidence is required to demonstrate competency in the meat industry. This is specifically designed to provide evidence that covers the demonstration in the workplace of all aspects of competency over time.

These requirements are in addition to the requirements for valid, current, authentic and sufficient evidence.

Three forms of evidence means three different kinds of evidence - not three pieces of the same kind. In practice it will mean that most of the unit is covered twice. This increases the legitimacy of the evidence.

All assessment must be conducted against Australian meat industry standards and regulations.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Consistent performance should be demonstrated. In particular assessors should check that:

hazards are identified and controlled

work schedules are interpreted and understood and instructions acted upon

relevant procedures are followed

resources and time are effectively and efficiently utilised

potential disruptions or changed circumstances are recognised and work plans modified in conjunction with relevant personnel

assistance is sought from relevant personnel when difficulties arise

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment will require access to an operating plant over an extended period of time, or a suitable method of gathering evidence of operating ability over a range of situations.

A bank of scenarios/case studies/what ifs will be required as will a bank of questions which will be used to probe the reasoning behind the observable actions.

Method of assessment

Recommended methods of assessment include:

structured or unstructured simulations, case studies or scenarios

workplace project

on-the-job demonstration

workplace referee, supervisor or third-party reports of performance over time.

Assessment practices should take into account any relevant language or cultural issues related to Aboriginality or Torres Strait Islander, gender, or language backgrounds other than English. Language and literacy demands of the assessment task should not be higher than those of the work role.

Guidance information for assessment
