FBPBPG3011 — Operate and monitor a high speed wrapping process

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• monitoring control points and conducting inspections as required to confirm process remains within specification, including:
• product alignment
• product weights
• packaging quality
• packaging and product alignment
• seal integrity, including testing packaging integrity
• codes, correct content and clarity/legibility
• following safe work procedures
• taking corrective action in response to typical faults and inconsistencies, including misaligned seals

Knowledge evidence

• purpose and basic principles of wrapping, including the properties and requirements of packaging materials used, coding requirements and product weight
• basic operating principles of wrapping equipment, including: main equipment components (conveyors and related guides and alignment adjustments), purpose and location of electronic eyes and sensors, status and purpose of guards
• equipment operating capacities and applications, and services required for operation of wrapping equipment used in the workplace
• the flow of product to the wrapping process, and the effect of outputs on downstream processes
• good manufacturing practices (GMP) relevant to work task
• quality characteristics and requirements of product to be wrapped, wrapping materials and the final wrapped product
• methods used to monitor the process, including inspecting, measuring and testing as required by the process
• inspection or test points (control points) in the process and the related procedures and recording requirements
• operating requirements and parameters, and corrective action required where operation is outside specified operating parameters
• typical equipment faults and related causes, including signs and symptoms of faulty equipment, and early warning signs of potential problems
• common causes of variation, and corrective action required, including the effect of variation in both product and packaging components/consumables on performance
• contamination/cross-contamination and food safety hazards and risks associated with the wrapping process, and related control measures
• health and safety hazards and controls relevant to the high speed wrapping process
• requirements of different shutdowns as appropriate to the process and workplace production requirements, including emergency and routine shutdowns, and procedures to follow in the event of a power outage
• isolation, lock-out and tag-out procedures and responsibilities
• procedures and responsibility for reporting production and performance information
• environmental issues and controls relevant to the filling and wrapping process, including waste/rework collection and handling procedures related to the process
• basic operating principles of process control, including the relationship between control panels and systems and the physical equipment
• cleaning and sanitisation procedures for high speed wrapping equipment
• recording requirements for traceability of product
