What an assessment for MEM04036 must cover
40 assessable components: 4 elements (13 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 18 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 Determine job requirements
- 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
- 1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
- 1.4Identify job requirements from specifications
- 1.5Plan sequence of maintenance operations
2 Identify and analyse defects in patterns
- 2.1Determine defects from produced components, production reports or pattern inspections
- 2.2Disassemble pattern and assess condition of components against prints, drawings and manufacturers’ drawings
3 Repair pattern and reassemble
- 3.1Choose appropriate repair process based on assessments
- 3.2Replace or recondition worn or damaged components to specifications
- 3.3Check pattern components and assemble for conformance with specifications
4 Identify production/maintenance problems
- 4.1Check production components to ensure compliance to specifications, as required
- 4.2Identify and record conditions leading to production faults
- 4.3Identify recurrent faults and initiate solutions
Performance evidence
- following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
- identifying and interpreting specifications, drawings and sample products or components to maintain pattern
- examining defective pattern for breakage, wear and defects requiring precision repair
- disassembling the defective pattern in accordance with tool making techniques and procedures and marking worn or damaged components for repair or replacement
- obtaining appropriate materials for manufacture of replacement pattern components and testing for hardness
- shaping and producing the replacement pattern components to specifications on at least two occasions using appropriate processes
- assembling and fitting all pattern components to specifications on at least two occasions using patternmaking techniques and procedures
- using precision instruments to check the first-off component or product for compliance to specifications on at least two occasions
- recording the conditions that lead to the failure of a pattern and recommending design modifications to rectify recurring faults or failure.
Knowledge evidence
- safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
- common pattern defects, common causes of pattern faults and conditions leading to pattern failure
- rectification techniques to restore patterns to specifications
- reasons for establishing a sequential plan for the repair or maintenance of defective pattern
- documenting plans for the repair or maintenance of defective pattern
- disassembling defective pattern
- identifying worn or damaged pattern and components for repair or replacement
- selecting and obtaining materials in terms of strength, durability, component finish, availability and reasons for selection
- fitting and assembling of pattern components and precautions to be taken
- documenting pattern faults
- recommending pattern design modifications
- specifications of pattern components
- precision instruments to be used to check pattern components for conformance to specifications and reasons for selection
- reasons for deciding to repair or replace worn or damaged components
- pattern materials, including physical properties of each component of the pattern to be replaced
- tools to be used to fashion the required replacement pattern components and reasons for selection
- specifications of the finished product
- causes of fault commonalities or trends and events associated with pattern faults and proposed solutions for recurrent faults that may occur in pattern and reasons for selection.

Questions about assessing MEM04036
What does an assessment tool for MEM04036 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM04036 needs to address all 40 unit components: 4 elements with 13 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 18 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 MEM04036?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM04036 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 MEM04036 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM04036 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 MEM04036, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
