Knowledge of: purpose and basic principles of homogenising basic operating principles of equipment, including main equipment components, status and purpose of guards, equipment operating capacities and applications, and the purpose and location of sensors and related feedback instrumentation effect of raw materials on homogenisation, such as variables, including solids (brix), acidity, temperature, consistency and colour on process outcomes quality requirements to be achieved by the homogenisation process the flow of the homogenising process and the effect of product output on downstream processes operating requirements and parameters and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment and early warning signs of potential problems techniques used to monitor the homogenising process, such as inspecting, measuring and testing as required by the process inspection or test points (control points) in the process and the related procedures and recording requirements common causes of variation and corrective action required operational health and safety (OHS) hazards and controls requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the process and workplace production requirements, including emergency and routine shutdowns and procedures to follow in the event of a power outage isolation, lock out and tag out procedures and responsibilities product/process changeover procedures and responsibilities procedures and responsibility for reporting production and performance information environmental issues and controls relevant to the homogenising process, including waste/rework collection and handling procedures related to the process basic operating principles of process control where relevant, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment sampling and testing associated with process monitoring and controlwhere relevant routine maintenance procedures where relevant cleaning and sanitation procedureswhere relevant |
