  11. monitor the achievement of relevant production targets and key

    performance indicators

  12. identify problems that may affect the quality and quantity of output

    from primal butchery

  13. report and take action regarding any problems which may arise

  14. check products are stored or transported to the next processing

    stage

    Compile reports relating to the primal butchery process

  15. complete relevant documentation and make available as

    necessary

  16. report faults and matters that affect processing performance

  17. check that handover and shut down procedures are followed

  18. make recommendations for improvements in the primal butchery

    process

    scheduling and resourcing

    1. how the food business operating procedures should be

    interpreted

    1. the importance of allocating staff with the relevant competences

    resources, including succession planning

    1. the communication methods and approaches required to maintain

    primal butchery processing

    2. the importance of maximising yield and reducing possible waste in

    the process

    1. how the need for individual or team support can be identified

    2. how whole teams and individual team members can be effectively

    supported

    1. what the food business operating arrangements are for

    identifying, dealing with and reporting problems with primal

    butchery

    1. what the purpose of quality control documentation is

    2. what the requirements are for maintenance and cleaning

    schedules

    1. how the performance of the primal butchery operation can be

    measured

    1. the importance of reporting primal butchery performance

    2. how potential improvements in the primal butchery operation can

    be presented
