This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
A person credited with this unit standard is able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of preparing and handling pans for production,
  • Prepare for pan handling,
  • Prepare and handle pans for production,
  • Perform end of pan handling activities.

    This unit standard is intended for a person working in bread plant who has the responsibility of preparing bread pans for production and handling of bread pans during and after production.

    This unit standard will contribute to the full development of the learner within the baking environment by providing recognition, further mobility and transportability within the field of manufacturing and assembly. The skills, knowledge and understanding demonstrated within this unit standard are essential for social and economic transformation and contribute to the upliftment and economic growth within the baking processing environment.

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    The scope of this unit standard a person working in bread plant who has the responsibility of preparing bread pans for production and handling of bread pans during and after production.

    In the context of this unit standard preparing and handling of bread pans refer to pan oiling, panning-up operations, proofer and oven loading, oven discharge, depanning and pan cooling.

    The level assigned to this unit standard is appropriate because the process is moderate in range, established and familiar and offers clear choices of routine responses. The learning demand employs basic operational knowledge and readily available information. The application of this unit standard is to qualify the person for certification in sub-trades.
