Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver FBPFST5007, 'Monitor the development and implementation of a food QA system'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Monitor the development and implementation of a food QA system' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Establish the scope of the QA system | 1.1 Define the enterprise needs and expectations in product quality 1.2 Detail existing systems and requirements for incorporation into the QA system 1.3 Define the scope of the CCP-based quality system to encompass production system and product requirements 1.4 Design the system to prevent and control identified hazards |
2. Conduct hazard analysis and assessment | 2.1 Assess every step in the production process for potential food safety hazards 2.2 Establish CCPs to identify where each significant hazard can be prevented or controlled 2.3 Assign a measurable or recognisable standard for each CCP to define the critical limits 2.4 Validate the critical limits technically and scientifically |
3. Ensure all documents, work procedures and processes required for the system are developed, available and in use | 3.1 Describe all products and processes covered by the QA system in a standardised format defining product characteristics relevant to food safety 3.2 Review work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for accuracy, relevance and sufficiency to prevent hazards 3.3 Implement documented procedures for monitoring CCPs 3.4 Implement documented procedures to ensure any CCPs that are outside critical limits are brought back within limits, and affected product is suitably handled 3.5 Implement documented procedures to ensure the QA system is regularly verified and audited as working effectively 3.6 Maintain the availability and data storage of all records and documents for the system |
4. Respond to non-conforming product or processes | 4.1 Identify procedures for taking corrective action 4.2 Implement corrective and preventative measures to prevent recurrence 4.3 Develop or revise procedures to support control measures 4.4 Identify processes or conditions that could result in a breach of procedures, and take corrective action 4.5 Introduce process changes and control so that quality assurance requirements are accomplished |
5. Review product sampling and test results | 5.1 Identify product sampling procedures 5.2 Identify post-collection procedures according to SOPs 5.3 Review test results and ensure quality assurance requirements are accomplished |
6. Audit, verify and validate the system | 6.1 Revise, verify and validate safety plans to reassess hazards, CCPs, critical limits, testing methods and all related procedures of the QA system to ensure they are appropriate to the enterprise requirements 6.2 Follow up and act on internal or external audit findings 6.3 Investigate and act on reported quality hazards and non-conformances 6.4 Review the CCP-based QA system to take account of any process changes or product specifications |
