Monitor an automated meat or poultry processing system

This standard is about the skills and knowledge needed for you to monitor an automated meat or poultry processing system in food operations. Monitoring an automated meat or poultry processing system is important to the production of meat and poultry that meets production requirements and adheres to regulatory and organisational standards.
 
You will need to be able to monitor resources needed to meet production requirements, maintain the flow of production, address problems within the limits of your responsibility and maintain organisational and regulatory quality and yield specifications. You must also adhere to regulatory standards and standard operating procedures and be able to apply your skills and knowledge within food safety and health and safety regulations and any relevant international industry codes. You should also have an understanding of how the green circular economy supports repeated use of resources and products within your organisation.
