Unit of Competency AMPA405 - Develop and implement Quality Assurance program for a rendering plant
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and implement a Quality Assurance (QA) program for a rendering plant.This unit is suitable for people working in the rendering sector. Work must involve interaction between staff and the individual and a detailed understanding of the rendering process.This unit must be delivered in the context of Australian meat industry standards and regulations.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment can be conducted in actual or simulated environments.

The following three forms of assessment must be used:

written test or quiz

workplace referee report

on the job assessment with assessor observation

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.

1.1 Develop process flow chart for rendering plant

1.2 Identify Control and Critical Control Points (CCPs)

1.3 Identify procedures to be carried out at control and CCPs

1.4 Validate critical limits

1.5 Develop operations manual, monitoring sheets and verification procedures

2. Implement the QA program at the rendering plant

2.1 Clearly explain QA procedures and requirements to relevant personnel

2.2 Coach and mentor staff when introducing work instructions and operating procedures

2.3 Introduce and monitor verification and recording procedures

2.4 Conduct internal audit to verify program

Evidence must demonstrate the candidate's consistency of performance over time at production speed.

Candidates must be able to develop and implement a QA program that meet the requirements of current Australian Standards and relevant legislation.

The candidate must:

develop an implementation plan

develop and document work instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

establish and validate critical limits

explain the process flow chart for the rendering operation

form, instruct and lead a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) team

identify and observe workplace health and safety requirements

identify and manage environmental hazards

identify corrective action

identify CCPs for QA monitoring

identify hazards

implement the QA program

mentor staff implementing the procedures

prepare a HACCP chart for rendering operations

use relevant communication skills

verify the program using sampling, testing and auditing

The candidate must demonstrate a broad factual, technical and theoretical knowledge of:

verification and validation procedures

regulations, standards and workplace requirements affecting rendering operations

Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

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.
