What an assessment for PMBPROD394E must cover

52 assessable components: 5 elements (28 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 21 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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 workplace

  • 1.1Identify 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 collect excess, discarded or nonconforming materials to be disposed of, recycled or reprocessed according to workplace procedures

2 Perform pre-production tasks

  • 2.1Verify equipment requirements against job specifications
  • 2.2Set production process according to equipment and job specifications, and adjust process to optimise output based on selected materials
  • 2.3Set up and adjust equipment to meet job specifications
  • 2.4Verify materials, resins, fibres and cores 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 resin transfer moulding process

  • 3.1Start up and operate resin transfer moulding 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 assess if output meets job specifications and quality standards, and apply strategies for managing nonconforming outputs
  • 3.4Maintain continuity of process to support production
  • 3.5Accurately complete logs and records
  • 3.6Work efficiently to minimise scrap and trim according to workplace procedures
  • 3.7Clean, adjust and lubricate equipment according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures

4 Shut down machine

  • 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
  • 4.3Purge machine using appropriate methods and materials
  • 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 existing 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 composites using resin transfer moulding at least once to meet job specifications.

Knowledge evidence

  • the function and principles of the operation of resin transfer moulding equipment
  • resin transfer moulding manufacturing process and phases of the cycle
  • characteristics of materials and their behaviour in relation to process conditions
  • 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
  • cycle time
  • output rate
  • surface finish and condition
  • product weight
  • thickness
  • 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

  • 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 product and production data, equipment shutdowns and process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPROD394E

What does an assessment tool for PMBPROD394E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPROD394E needs to address all 52 unit components: 5 elements with 28 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 PMBPROD394E?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPROD394E 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 PMBPROD394E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMBPROD394E 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 PMBPROD394E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
