Unit of Competency | MSAPMSUP230A - Monitor process operations |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This competency covers the use of production processing equipment.This competency is typically performed by all operators working either independently or as part of a work team. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Application of this unitThis competency applies to operators who use production processing equipment. Work involves the removal of products from equipment in strict conformity with standard operating procedures and routine quality inspection processes. The key factors are the successful operation of the equipment and the ability to recognise when the process is not working as intended. It includes:checking job sheets for work to be done and identifying the priority in which jobs/product will be made/completeddiscussing work progress with other workersfollowing approved hazard minimisation procedures for any hazards connected with materials and process, using work instructions, labels and materials safety data sheets, and in accordance with occupational health and safety (OHS) legislative responsibilitiesidentifying production problemscollecting and observing products from the production processcollecting and disposing of waste materials checking materials to ensure no contaminationidentifying and taking action on routine process problems. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, required skills and knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A holistic approach should be taken to the assessment.
Assessors must be satisfied that the person can consistently perform the unit as a whole, as defined by the Elements, Performance Criteria, skills and knowledge.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
It is essential that competence is demonstrated in the ability to:
understand the importance of critical material properties and quantities
recognise potential situations requiring action and implement appropriate action.
Consistent performance should be demonstrated. In particular look to see that production standards are met consistently.
Assessment method and context
Competence in this unit may be assessed:
on a processing plant, allowing for operation under all normal and a range of abnormal conditions
by using a suitable simulation and/or a range of case studies/scenarios
through a combination of these techniques.
In all cases it is expected that practical assessment will be combined with targeted questioning to assess the underpinning knowledge and that the theoretical assessment will be combined with appropriate practical/simulation or similar assessment.
Specific resources for assessment
This section should be read in conjunction with the Range Statement for this unit of competency. Resources required include suitable access to an operating plant or equipment that allows for appropriate and realistic simulation. A bank of case studies/scenarios and questions will also be required to the extent they form part of the assessment method. Questioning may take place either in the workplace, or in an adjacent, quiet facility such as an office or lunchroom. No other special resources are required.
Submission Requirements
List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)
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.
This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit.
Application of knowledge of the materials, equipment and process sufficient to recognise material and equipment conditions which may lead to out of specification production.
Knowledge of organisation procedures and relevant regulatory requirements along with the ability to implement them within appropriate time constraints and work standards.
Competence includes the ability for the practical completion of the job to:
apply and/or explain:
impact of incorrect or faulty materials
production workflow sequences and materials demand
focus of operation of work systems and equipment
correct selection and use of equipment, materials, processes and procedures
hazards of the materials and process and appropriate hazard control procedures
distinguish between causes of faults such as:
wrong raw materials/additives
incorrect quantity of materials/additives
contaminated materials/additives
product variations from specification.
Language, literacy and numeracy requirements
This unit requires the ability to read and interpret typical product specifications, job sheets, procedures, material labels and safety information as provided to operators.
Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms.
Basic numeracy is required, eg to determine that two 25 kg bags are needed to make up a requirement for 50 kg.
The Range Statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Add any essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts.
Where reference is made to industry codes of practice, and/or Australian/international standards, the latest version must be used.
General context
This competency applies to the operation of various forms of production equipment in all work environments and sectors within the process manufacturing industry. It includes the operation of all relevant additional equipment.
Procedures means all relevant workplace procedures, work instructions, temporary instructions and relevant industry and government codes and standards.
Equipment and tools
This competency includes equipment and tools such as:
hand carts and trolleys
knives and other bag opening equipment
hoists/lifting equipment not requiring any special permits or licences
basic hand tools required for opening of material packaging
relevant personal protective equipment.
Hazards
Typical hazards include:
automated or rotating equipment
dusts/vapours
hazardous materials
manual handling hazards
knife hazards.
'Rectify routine problems' means 'apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems'.
Typical process problems include:
equipment malfunctions
product jamming or sticking
power failures
air, oil or lubricant difficulties.
Typical product problems include:
variations in materials
contamination of materials
malformed or incomplete products.
All operations are performed in accordance with procedures.
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.
