Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Calculate and compare actual and budget performance
   • Identify production and budget performance, related to own work role and reflected in documentation and procedures, work health and safety (WHS) procedures, environmental procedures, productivity and efficiency measures,standard operating procedures (SOP), and housekeeping requirements.
   • Calculate and compare costs with standards or budgets to identify variance from planned performance.
2. Prepare and analyse data
   • Consolidate data with standard reporting format to report performance and activity.
   • Analyse financial results to identify costs which require particular attention in improving financial performance.
   • Interpret time series data from tables and graphs to identify performance trends.
3. Calculate calibration adjustments
   • Interpret mathematical concepts associated with equipment calibration and use to determine adjustment to equipment settings.
   • Verify calibration calculation by checking the accuracy of the adjustment in the actual work performance.
   • Take appropriate action including process adjustments, reporting to authorized person or rectifying the problem within level of responsibility.
