Unit of Competency AMPS212 - Measure and calculate routine workplace data
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to calculate and record workplace measurements commonly used in the meat industry and includes the use of measuring instruments.Skills to measure and calculate statistical data are used widely throughout the retail, smallgoods and processing sectors of the meat industry, for example:measuring and calculating production statisticsrecording production statisticscalculating consumption and replacement requirements of gloves, caps and other safety equipmentestimating or measuring quantities of ingredientsAll work should be carried out to comply with workplace and hygiene requirements.This unit applies to individuals who work under general supervision, exercise limited autonomy and have some accountability for their own work.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 industry standards and regulations.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Competency must be demonstrated over time and under typical operating and production conditions for the enterprise.

Three different forms of assessment must be used. This must include:

workplace demonstration

workplace referee or third-party report of performance over time

Assessors must satisfy the current standards for RTOs.
