What an assessment for PMBPROD392E must cover
44 assessable components: 5 elements (27 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 13 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 Plan work requirements
- 1.1Identify and check materials requirements, including additives, from job specifications
- 1.2Identify equipment and processes required for production and upstream and downstream operations from job specifications
- 1.3Perform pre-operational checks including checking for and controlling hazards
- 1.4Identify checks and testing processes required for equipment, materials, quality and production management to meet job specifications
- 1.5Identify waste management strategies to minimise scrap and trim according to workplace procedures
2 Perform pre-production tasks
- 2.1Verify equipment requirements against job specifications
- 2.2Set production process according to equipment and workplace specifications, and adjust process to optimise output based on selected materials
- 2.3Set up and adjust equipment and production line settings according to equipment and job specifications
- 2.4Verify materials, resins and fibres are correct against job specifications
- 2.5Set up date, batch and materials markings according to workplace procedures
- 2.6Undertake other pre-startup checks according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
3 Operate and make adjustments to control pultrusion process
- 3.1Start up and operate pultrusion process, and make adjustments to settings to meet job specifications
- 3.2Ensure process is operating according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
- 3.3Follow checking and testing processes to confirm if output meets job specifications and quality standards, and apply strategies to manage nonconforming outputs
- 3.4Maintain continuity of process to support production
- 3.5Work efficiently to minimise scrap and trim according to workplace procedures
- 3.6Clean, adjust and lubricate equipment according to equipment instructions
4 Shut down machinery
- 4.1Determine type of shutdown and process to be followed from equipment instructions and workplace procedures
- 4.2Shut down equipment according to equipment instructions and workplace procedures
- 4.3Clean equipment efficiently and effectively, using appropriate methods and materials according to equipment instructions
- 4.4Put guards, locks and notices in place to prevent inadvertent startup
- 4.5Accurately complete workplace shutdown documentation
- 4.6Clean and clear work area after shutdown in readiness for next startup
5 Anticipate and solve process control variances
- 5.1Recognise exiting or potential process control variances and their causes
- 5.2Determine, prioritise and implement remedial and preventative actions based on identified issues and causes
- 5.3Monitor process control variances and corrective actions taken until resolved
- 5.4Accurately maintain records and logbooks
Performance evidence
- produce thermoset composites using pultrusion at least once to meet job specifications.
Knowledge evidence
- the function of pultrusion equipment
- the principles of operation of pultrusion equipment
- pultrusion manufacturing process and materials demand
- types of composites resin and glass fibre materials being used and their characteristics
- characteristics of composites behaviour in the process
- mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and electronic principles that affect machine operation
- the criteria for overall process/equipment readiness for the process or equipment being used
- typical quality standards required at each stage of production
- key variables that may affect product quality and production output, including: operating temperatures, speed, colour and uniformity, cycle time, output rate, product weight, product integrity and general conformance to specification
- typical and atypical process and product problems, including early warning signs, possible causes and corrective actions
- the distinguishing characteristics of causes of problems as being either based on the properties of materials or caused by process variables
- 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 monitor equipment readings and assess production outputs.
- Reading: Reading skills to interpret job and equipment specifications and workplace procedures.
- Writing and oral communication: Writing and oral communication skills to record and report on composites production, shutdown and process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPROD392E
What does an assessment tool for PMBPROD392E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPROD392E needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 27 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 PMBPROD392E?
Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPROD392E 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 PMBPROD392E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing PMBPROD392E 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 PMBPROD392E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
