What an assessment for MEM234013 must cover

51 assessable components: 3 elements (20 performance criteria), 15 performance evidence and 16 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 Clarify client brief or contract requirements

  • 1.1Clarify product performance objectives and specifications with client
  • 1.2Determine and research planning and design parameters of the brief or contract
  • 1.3Determine WHS, regulatory, sustainability and environmental issues relevant to the proposed manufacturing process
  • 1.4Established required technical and professional assistance based on project scope
  • 1.5Confirm client’s production system capability and provide initial advice on feasibility
  • 1.6Discuss ‘time to market’ issues with the client and establish timelines
  • 1.7Decide, in conjunction with client, whether the proposed project should fit with an existing production system or a new or redesigned process to be established for the product
  • 1.8Prepare a product development flow chart that provides sufficient information to guide the planning and design process

2 Develop manufacturing process design options and prepare concept proposals

  • 2.1Identify and analyse relevant production systems
  • 2.2Generate and validate manufacturing process design solutions using current design methodologies and automated design tools
  • 2.3Evaluate and rank options against client criteria for quality, cost, and application of automation, maintainability and regulatory requirements
  • 2.4Determine social and sustainability implications of solutions
  • 2.5Document and present concept proposals to client
  • 2.6Provide feedback on product manufacturability
  • 2.7Evaluate concept proposals with client and select preferred process

3 Design manufacturing process

  • 3.1Determine manufacturing process control, maintenance management, human resources and continuous improvement systems implications for final design
  • 3.2Finalise manufacturing process design, including material and product flow, logistics, transfers, new or modified facilities, services, plant and tooling layout
  • 3.3Ensure preparation of all required documentation, drawings, specifications and instructions
  • 3.4Consult with client and stakeholders to obtain sign-off on design.
  • 3.5Monitor installation and commissioning of manufacturing process with stakeholders and make any necessary adjustments to design

Performance evidence

  • interpreting features of product and processing options and parameters of the brief or contract
  • planning and designing engineering-related manufacturing processes
  • advising client, based on discipline knowledge and work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory standards
  • establishing budget and control measures and designing schedule within design project control plan
  • researching planning and design parameters on at least two occasions
  • determining sustainability, WHS, regulatory and risk management requirements
  • investigating faults in existing manufacturing process designs and proposing solutions
  • reviewing engineering manufacturing process requirements on at least two occasions
  • modelling and calculating using appropriate software and validation techniques
  • generating solutions and evaluating feasibility against design criteria
  • incorporating maintenance management, human resources (HR), information management and continuous improvement systems
  • implementing systems thinking, continuous improvement, and constraint and contingency management options
  • communicating, negotiating and reviewing with stakeholders and client throughout the process to obtain agreement on proposal and sign-off on design
  • documenting design with required drawings, specifications and instructions.
  • Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

  • advanced and current manufacturing process design methodologies
  • appropriate technical and professional assistance
  • brief parameters
  • standardisation techniques
  • economic, social and sustainability implications
  • market competitiveness factors
  • lean manufacturing principles
  • automated design tools
  • project planning, scheduling and control techniques including budgeting and costing
  • characteristics of, and differences between, jobbing, flexible and mass production, and continuous process
  • implications of maintenance management and human resource systems for engineering-related planning processes
  • production information flow required for and from a manufacturing process
  • regulatory environment requirements, applicable standards and codes of practice
  • WHS and regulatory requirements, codes of practice, standards and registration requirements
  • process design documentation, drawings, specifications and instructions
  • techniques for: continuous improvement, problem-solving and decision-making, root cause analysis (RCA) or failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) or design review based on failure mode (DRBFM), and Pareto analysis.

Questions about assessing MEM234013

What does an assessment tool for MEM234013 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM234013 needs to address all 51 unit components: 3 elements with 20 performance criteria, 15 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 MEM234013?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM234013 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 MEM234013 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM234013 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 MEM234013, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
