Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to implement a Quality Assurance (QA) program in a rendering plant.This unit is applicable to workers in a rendering plant responsible for overseeing or being part of the implementation of a QA program.All work should be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, customer requirements and product specifications.This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work including limited responsibility for the work of others. They provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable problems.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.This unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency must be assessed in an operating rendering plant.

Competency must be demonstrated when implementing a functioning QA program.

As a minimum, the following three forms of assessment must be used:

quiz of underpinning knowledge

workplace demonstration

workplace referee or third-party report of performance over time

Assessors must satisfy the current standards for RTOs.

Performance criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Implement the QA program for the rendering plant

1.1 Clearly explain QA procedures and requirements to relevant personnel

1.2 Coach and monitor staff in the introduction of work instructions and operating procedures

1.3 Introduce and monitor verification and recording procedures

1.4 Conduct internal audit to validate the QA program

The candidate must implement a Quality Assurance (QA) program in a rendering plant.

The candidate must:

implement the QA program

1.2 Coach and monitor staff in the introduction of work instructions and operating procedures

1.3 Introduce and monitor verification and recording procedures

1.4 Conduct internal audit to validate the QA program

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
