What an assessment for MSMSUP406 must cover

29 assessable components: 3 elements (15 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 7 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 Identify electrical/electronic control system faults

  • 1.1Categorise the types of machine malfunctions due to electrical and/or electronic faults
  • 1.2Describe the effects on product quality of electrical and/or electronic faults
  • 1.3Identify possible faulty components from a circuit diagram and knowledge of the function of each component

2 Identify maintenance requirements

  • 2.1Determine recommended maintenance schedule from manufacturer instructions
  • 2.2Determine adequacy of current maintenance regime and any special requirements from fault and maintenance history
  • 2.3Determine criticality of machine to production and/or business
  • 2.4Develop maintenance schedule and requirements for machine
  • 2.5Liaise with all relevant stakeholders to ensure schedule is appropriate
  • 2.6Report outcome to appropriate personnel

3 Determine appropriate corrective action

  • 3.1Examine other possible faults
  • 3.2Short list possible fault causes
  • 3.3Conduct investigations of machine, products or data to determine most likely fault causes
  • 3.4Take appropriate action to ensure fault is rectified
  • 3.5Follow up on action to ensure completion in an appropriate timeframe
  • 3.6Recheck after corrective action to ensure fault has been rectified

Performance evidence

  • recognise and analyse control system faults
  • identify and select testing methods based on cost and time effectiveness
  • identify and develop maintenance requirements
  • propose solutions and carry out solutions within scope of authority
  • apply operational knowledge to non-routine problems
  • identify and implement corrective actions
  • monitor process and equipment conditions.

Knowledge evidence

  • fundamentals of electricity and electronics
  • electronic circuit diagrams
  • principles of electronic circuit components
  • principles of PLC programming, troubleshooting and diagnosis
  • appropriate testing procedures and use of equipment for a range of equipment faults
  • interaction of process conditions on product quality
  • routine and non-routine causes of equipment failures and processes to develop solutions.

Questions about assessing MSMSUP406

What does an assessment tool for MSMSUP406 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSMSUP406 needs to address all 29 unit components: 3 elements with 15 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 7 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 MSMSUP406?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSMSUP406 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 MSMSUP406 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSMSUP406 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 MSMSUP406, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
