What an assessment for MEM48008 must cover
23 assessable components: 4 elements (12 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 4 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
- 1.3Identify job requirements from work information
2 Identify specification requirements for required casting
- 2.1Obtain all relevant job requirements and design specifications in accordance with workplace procedures
- 2.2Identify and interpret drawing requirements and specifications
3 Evaluate proposed mould design for causes of potential defects
- 3.1Select running, gating and feeding principles and techniques relevant to the particular casting
- 3.2Apply relevant scientific principles and techniques
- 3.3Review placement and sizing of feeder heads
- 3.4Calculate the size and number of feeder heads and gating for castings
4 Report results
- 4.1Identify reporting requirements
- 4.2Prepare report to meet requirements
- 4.3Circulate and file report to procedures
Performance evidence
- Following work instructions, standard operating procedures and safe work practices
- Identifying and interpreting design specifications, drawings, safety procedures and codes of practice/standards for evaluating mould design and gating
- Appling scientific principles to foundry mould design
- Evaluating mould design to suit specific applications
- Calculating mould runner and feeding systems using manual calculations and the use of computer programs
- Selecting appropriate techniques and associated software and hardware technologies to suit specific applications in foundry mould design
- Presenting solutions and any associated limitations referring to the original aim of the application
Knowledge evidence
- Safe work practices and procedures
- Solidification including: nucleation, growth mechanisms (crystal and interfacial), dendrite coherency, constitutional undercooling, superheat, eutectic and peritectic solidification, grain structure
- Running, gating and feeding including: terminology, runner and gating principles (ratios), pouring basin or cup, sprue design, runner design, ingate design, inclusion control (slag and erosion), metal flow (lamellar and turbulent), velocity and temperature, modulus principle (calculation of feeder size), location of feeders (end and feed zones, neighbourhood effect, feeding distances), exothermic and insulating feeding aids (sleeves and topping), feeding mechanisms (liquid, mass, interdendritic, burst & solid), computer packages (runner and feeder calculations, mould simulations), yield calculations
- Defect formation including: shrinkage, porosity, segregation, hot tearing, shear

Questions about assessing MEM48008
What does an assessment tool for MEM48008 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM48008 needs to address all 23 unit components: 4 elements with 12 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 4 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 MEM48008?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM48008 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 MEM48008 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM48008 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 MEM48008, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
