AMPMGT610 — Analyse and develop workplace systems for new opportunities

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• flow charted the movement of products and resources along the chain or process line to identify strengths and weaknesses
• applied in-depth product knowledge in determining the processing requirements for species or products according to customer and workplace requirements, including methods, technology, quality, speed of production
• analysed the organisation’s environment to assess capacity for, and potential impact of, systems and operations
• established goals and performance criteria for operation of the workplace system
• determined criteria for evaluating alternative systems and system components, including reference to product specifications, yield and quality, technical requirements and cost
• developed data collection and recording systems linked to systems performance criteria
• analysed performance information and prepared reports for stakeholders
• developed a communication strategy for involving the workforce, negotiating changes and reporting progress
• assessed alternative configurations of technology, labour, processes, organisation and layouts for process flow effectiveness
• compared capability of existing system with market potential and capability of alternative systems
• estimated the impacts of workplace forecasts and changes in the market and the industry (including technology) on workplace resource requirements, operation and sales
• evaluated the consequences and change implications of adopting new, reconfigured or redesigned systems on overall operation of the plant, including the impact on personnel
• identified and applied relevant workplace health and safety, animal welfare, biosecurity, environmental and workplace and regulatory requirements
• identified and resolved industrial relations issues related to changes in systems
• prepared action plans for the implementation of new systems, including commissioning of the new system, timelines, resources, training and change facilitation strategies to assist personnel to implement new, reconfigured or redesigned systems
• prepared and justified budgets for the introduction of new systems or components, including calculating the costs of retaining the current system and the costs of setting up and operating new, reconfigured or redesigned systems, including initial costs, ongoing costs and payback periods
• prepared and presented recommendations in formats, language and styles appropriate for the audience
• presented reports according to legal and workplace requirements
• quantified and costed the resources required for optimum operation of existing systems, including utilities and energy, personnel, equipment and stock
• researched and analysed market intelligence, trends and forecasts to identify workplace possibilities
• researched and evaluated available systems (including technology and equipment, processing methods and techniques and work design) appropriate for workplace product
• researched and evaluated sources of support, including government and private, financial and other support
• reviewed existing procedures and controls or developed new ones to facilitate systems operations according to workplace and regulatory requirements, including integration with workplace quality and food safety systems
• sought external advice where appropriate (including from technology and equipment manufacturers, architects, engineers and tradespeople)
• used a range of quality and evaluative tools to analyse the capability of workplace systems to meet future projections
• used available communication and information technology to complete forecasts, analyses and modelling, where required.

Knowledge evidence

• workplace goals and directions and their implications for workplace operations
• budgeting strategies, including calculating the costs of maintaining the current system and the operational and set-up costs for new, reconfigured or redesigned systems, including initial costs, ongoing costs and payback periods
• report formats and styles, and their appropriateness for various audiences.

Foundation skills

• Writing: Plan, draft, review and proofread documents Use Plain English and industry specific terminology Use workplace software programs and systems to generate documents
• Oral communication: Interact effectively with team members and stakeholders Present information to a group
• Numeracy: Use software programs to model outcomes Recognise trends in graphs
