What an assessment for MEM14088 must cover

59 assessable components: 5 elements (26 performance criteria), 11 performance evidence and 22 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.

  • 3.2Review maintenance repair techniques and processes, standard parts, labour and skill requirements
  • 3.3Determine life cycle design and sustainability implications of maintenance design and maintenance activities
  • 3.4Determine specification, documentation and graphical techniques required to define designs
  • 3.5Confirm WHS and regulatory requirements, codes of practice, standards, risk management and registration requirements relevant to repair and modification design projects
  • 3.6Assess the need for technical and professional assistance
  • 3.7Determine software requirements for repair and modification design
  • 3.8Decide if repair, replacement or modification is appropriate and seek any necessary approvals

4 Apply repair and modification design techniques

  • 4.1Plan, schedule and coordinate the repair or modification design task
  • 4.2Apply the design process and scientific principles to repair and modification design proposals
  • 4.3Determine materials, components, maintenance processes, equipment and tools required to implement design
  • 4.4Create adequate and accurate calculations, preliminary graphics and maintain design process records using appropriate software
  • 4.5Assess repair and modification designs against design criteria
  • 4.6Apply systems thinking to problem-solving and decision- making techniques in dealing with contingencies and constraints for continuous improvement and development of design options
  • 4.7Incorporate required professional and technical assistance
  • 4.8Apply agreed techniques to define repair or modification

5 Report results

  • 5.1Record results of investigations, application and development of repair and modification design
  • 5.2Provide supporting documentation that includes accurate and comprehensive details about techniques used

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • communicating, negotiating and reviewing maintenance brief with stakeholders
  • determining or confirming scientific principles and design techniques, design specification requirements and work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements
  • evaluating multiple solutions
  • investigating life cycle design, sustainability, technical and professional assistance required, and maintenance alternatives for repairs and modifications on at least two occasions
  • planning, scheduling and coordinating maintenance task on at least two occasions
  • solving problems and making decisions with systems thinking for contingencies and constraints, and continuous improvement
  • defining designs, specifying, documenting and applying techniques on at least two occasions
  • selecting components and hardware
  • creating and maintaining adequate and accurate calculations and design process records
  • reporting and documenting results on at least two occasions

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • factors that determine maintenance requirements
  • sustainability implications of maintenance processes, materials and products, including consideration of life cycle analysis
  • design and planning processes, criteria and techniques
  • concurrent engineering techniques, systems thinking, problem-solving and decision-making, and continuous improvement methods

Questions about assessing MEM14088

What does an assessment tool for MEM14088 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM14088 needs to address all 59 unit components: 5 elements with 26 performance criteria, 11 performance evidence requirements, 22 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 MEM14088?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM14088 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 MEM14088 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM14088 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 MEM14088, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
