Implement a Process

Implement a Process: Learning objectives, indicators of progression, and teacher guidance (PDF, 43 KB)

Implement a process focuses on undertaking appropriate procedures to process a specified product. Products may include but are not limited to: fermented or non-fermented foods and beverages; biologically active products; household chemicals; toiletries; cosmetics; paper; resin or fibreglass products.

Initially students learn to follow appropriate processing operations and undertake testing to make a product that meets specifications. Students progress to complex processing operations that require analysis, modification, testing and calculation of relevant factors.

Level 6	Level 7	Level 8
Implement basic procedures to make a processed product	Implement advanced procedures to make a processed product	Implement complex procedures to make a processed product
To support students to implement basic procedures to make a processed product at level 6, teachers could: Provide opportunity for students to undertake basic processing operations. Develop step by step guides to inform student practice. Enable students to undertake basic testing such as pH, temperature, size to determine appropriateness of a product. Ensure students apply relevant health and safety practices.	To support students to implement advanced procedures to make a processed product at level 7, teachers could: Support students with their undertaking of advanced processing operations. Guide students with advanced testing techniques such as: viscosity; moisture content; and degree of fermentation. Ensure students comply with health and safety documentation such as HACCP and HSNO (see AS/NZ3343.3:200s)	To support students to implement complex procedures to make a processed product, at level 8, teachers could: Support students in determining the techniques that have been involved in specific processing of materials. Discuss the difference between process control in the classroom and in industry for a specified product. Demonstrate complex processing operations such as: distilling; cryogenic freezing; and batch transfer Support students in the implementation of complex processing operations. Provide or negotiate with students the selection of a specified product. Support students in the development of safety plans, risk management plans and quality assurance plans.
Students can: Implement basic processing operations. Conduct basic tests to determine if a product has met required specifications. Follow relevant health and safety practices	Students can: Work independently in the execution of advanced procedures. Undertake advanced testing techniques to determine if a product meets established specifications. Comply with relevant health and safety documentation.	Students can: Analyse and justify the procedures used to process a specified product. Explain how processing operations can be controlled by test feedback. Evaluate the appropriateness of safety, risk management and quality assurance plans Make informed decisions based on knowledge of techniques, operations and testing feedback. Modify processing operations based on feedback from testing. Calculate yield and relevant financial costs. Develop suitable safety, risk management and assurance plans.
