What an assessment for FBPTEC5002 must cover

38 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 16 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Assess utility and energy requirements

  • 1.1Estimate energy and utility requirements for a given production facility
  • 1.2Account for historical patterns of use when making estimates and forecasting production volumes

2 Select suppliers of energy and utilities

  • 2.1Identify existing and potential suppliers of energy and utilities
  • 2.2Identify and consider environmental costs and benefits associated with supply in supply criteria
  • 2.3Establish and apply criteria for selection of suppliers
  • 2.4Select suppliers capable of meeting supply criteria
  • 2.5Review or develop contingency procedures in the event of failure of supply

3 Monitor energy and utility use against budget

  • 3.1Measure and record use of energy and utilities
  • 3.2Analyse usage patterns against performance standards and budget allocations
  • 3.3Identify, assess and implement cost-effective options for balancing the scheduling requirements for production with containment of energy and utility costs

4 Contribute to the more efficient use of energy and utilities

  • 4.1Identify energy and utility losses or sources of waste
  • 4.2Identify, investigate and report opportunities to improve efficient energy or utility application
  • 4.3Establish and review consultative mechanisms to support continuous improvement
  • 4.4Communicate information on energy efficiency, utility efficiency and related procedures to relevant personnel

Performance evidence

  • determining utility and energy requirements and assessing current practices
  • establishing supply options and conducting analysis to determine most efficient arrangements
  • monitoring and evaluating utility and energy usage against targets
  • identifying wastage or losses
  • identifying, assessing and communicating opportunities for improving energy efficiencies

Knowledge evidence

  • uses of energy and utilities in production, and units of measurement used to quantify energy and utilities
  • procedures for mapping the uses of energy and utilities in production, including: • analysing historical data • sale or production forecasts to project energy and utility requirements • identifying patterns of usage, including volume and spread of load
  • methods used to measure usage rates, including: • physical measurement instruments • measurement techniques used to track inputs to and outputs • units of measurement used to quantify energy and utilities
  • suppliers of energy and criteria used to select them, including: • costs and capacity • contingency procedures in the event of failure of supplies • elements of costs associated with supply, including tariffs, charges and peak demand and cost periods • ability to spread load and risk by distribution to other suppliers and co-generation
  • factors that affect the efficient use of energy and utilities
  • consultative mechanisms to support continuous improvements
  • techniques for assessing energy and utility usage rates of a given production facility to identify variances against budget or plans
  • methods, equipment and operation for generating utilities for use on-site: • steam generation • other utilities appropriate to a given production facility • licensing and regulation requirements for boiler types
  • maintenance procedures and practices to minimise losses of steam, glycol or ammonia
  • procedures for shutting down plant and equipment
  • configuration and design of the process and system to conserve and recycle energy and utilities, including: • steam • heat • water
  • scheduling for efficient production, including: • existing energy and utility supply arrangements • dual objectives of production outcomes and efficient use of energy or utility
  • energy conservation techniques, including: • lighting • air-conditioning • equipment standby
  • procedures to develop proposals for utility improvement based on: • investigations • input from relevant technical specialists
  • requirements for assessing and developing procedures to support efficient energy and utility utilisation in consideration of: • impacts on equipment • food safety • work health and safety
  • communication strategies for changes to workplace systems and procedures to support improvements.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Organise, evaluate and analyse ideas and information from a wide range of sources to determine energy usage requirements and efficiencies
  • Writing: Prepare documentation that explores complex issues for energy usage, constructed logically, succinctly and accurately
  • Numeracy: Analyse and synthesise highly embedded mathematical information from a broad range of resources to determine energy usage, costs and targets

Questions about assessing FBPTEC5002

What does an assessment tool for FBPTEC5002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for FBPTEC5002 needs to address all 38 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 16 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for FBPTEC5002?

Auditori pulls the current release of FBPTEC5002 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for FBPTEC5002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing FBPTEC5002 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of FBPTEC5002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
