Unit of Competency AMPMGT507 - Manage and improve meat industry plant operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan and monitor an enterprise's operations from receipt of stock and materials, through to processing and manufacturing options, transport, distribution and storage and customer delivery. It also describes the skills and knowledge required to ensure operations are managed in a cost efficient and effective way.This unit is applicable to operations managers, or production managers, with plant or department level responsibility for operations within a meat industry context. It provides all production personnel with an integrated approach to operations management.At this level individuals exercise considerable autonomy, responsibility and accountability within enterprise structures and are required to make primary contributions to the values, goals and operations of the enterprise. They will typically have responsibility for establishing and reviewing systems for their site or department. They may work with the assistance of external experts to develop plans and strategies.This unit must be delivered using 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.

Competency must be demonstrated through sustained performance over time, at an appropriate level of responsibility and authority under typical operating and production conditions for the enterprise.

Methods of assessment must include:

a third-party referee report of sustained performance at appropriate level of authority and responsibility

assignment focusing on understanding and applying principles and theory to workplace operations

workplace projects with focus on company environment and conditions

Assessors must satisfy current standards for RTOs.
