Assessment tool
Version 1.0 Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop, manage and maintain quality systems to enable food processing enterprises to operate in specific markets and build consumer confidence in products. The individual is required to demonstrate deep knowledge in a specific technical area and to design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems.
This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for designing, implementing and continually improving a quality (QA) system in food production. They typically have responsibility for the establishment and review of systems for the site or department. They may work with the assistance of external experts to develop plans and strategies.
No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
