What an assessment for PMBPREP304E must cover
34 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. 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 Prepare to change dies
- 1.1Determine when changeover will be required, and plan requirements for die change
- 1.2Prepare dies and all required cores, parts, tools and equipment related to changing dies according to plan
- 1.3Prepare moulding machine for shutdown and die removal according to plan
- 1.4Take last-off samples from machine to inform die reports
- 1.5Shut down machine according to machine specifications
- 1.6Prepare machine for changeover according to workplace procedures
- 1.7Plan a safe die removal process that meets workplace safety standards
2 Change dies
- 2.1Remove, clean and store die according to workplace procedures
- 2.2Assess die to establish if corrosion protection is required
- 2.3Attach replacement die, ensuring that locating devices and marks are matched and securing devices are installed and tightened according to specifications
3 Set dies
- 3.1Set machine conditions for new die according to machine specifications
- 3.2Start up machine according to workplace procedures
- 3.3Run machine and die through dry cycle according to workplace procedures
- 3.4Check installation and operation of die against product quality specifications and expected operation standards
- 3.5Check a first-off sample for compliance with required standards
- 3.6Fine-tune settings and other production variables to improve output compliance
- 3.7Ensure workplace documentation is up-to-date, including noting any equipment variances between actual production and documented set-up conditions
4 Anticipate and solve process control variances
- 4.1Recognise existing or potential process control variances and their causes
- 4.2Determine, prioritise and implement remedial and preventative actions based on identified issues and causes
- 4.3Monitor process control variances and corrective actions taken until resolved
- 4.4Identify possible system or process improvements and make recommendations to relevant personnel
Performance evidence
- set a die for injection moulding production at least once to meet changeover requirements.
Knowledge evidence
- construction of dies and their components, including fixed and removable cores, inserts, ejection systems and vents
- methods of connecting dies to machines
- function of machine settings and appropriate ranges of settings for specific dies
- criteria used to decide whether corrosion protection is required
- injection moulding production workflow sequences
- key variables that may affect output
- typical process and product problems, including early warning signs, possible causes and corrective actions
- organisational procedures relevant to the work environment or job role
- hazards that may arise in the job or work environment, and: their possible causes, potential consequences, appropriate risk controls.
Foundation skills
- Numeracy: Numeracy skills to interpret technical specifications and equipment readings.
- Reading: Reading skills to interpret specifications and workplace procedures.
- Writing and oral communication: Writing and oral communication skills to record and report on equipment set-up and process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPREP304E
What does an assessment tool for PMBPREP304E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPREP304E needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 PMBPREP304E?
Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPREP304E 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 PMBPREP304E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing PMBPREP304E 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 PMBPREP304E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
