What an assessment for AMPMGT506 must cover

43 assessable components: 3 elements (17 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 7 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 Identify enterprise utility and energy requirements and costs

1.1Identify utility and energy requirements for all areas and operations of the enterprise in accordance with workplace, customer and regulatory requirements
1.2Measure current utility and energy costs, and identify impact on profitability
1.3Determine enterprise’s future utility or energy requirements in accordance with enterprise goals and directions
1.4Include utility and energy requirements and costs in all forward planning

2 Monitor and control enterprise utility and energy use

2.1Establish performance standards and indicators using agreed benchmarks and best practice methods
2.2Develop team commitment to utility or energy management using consultative approaches
2.3Develop systems for the accurate monitoring of utility and energy use and costs
2.4Audit enterprise operations to assess use, misuse and waste of utilities and energy
2.5Monitor enterprise performance and adjust or correct systems and operations
2.6Prepare contingency plans for failure of utility or energy supply and service
2.7Update workplace safety systems and procedures to include requirements for safe use of utilities or energy

3 Review performance and utility or energy costs

3.1Identify, evaluate and recommend strategies and procedures for wastage minimisation and more efficient use of utilities and energy
3.2Assess alternative utility or energy sources and services for availability, suitability, contribution to sustainability, efficiency of operations and effectiveness of costs
3.3Recommend appropriate utility or energy services, and negotiate utility or energy supply conditions and charges
3.4Monitor and measure enterprise utility and energy performance
3.5Analyse and report performance information, including team feedback, to stakeholders
3.6Prepare and implement recommendations for further improvements

Performance evidence

analysed utility or energy tariffs and charges, and options available to the enterprise
calculated and analysed enterprise utility or energy costs and their impact on production costs
consulted with personnel across the enterprise to identify and resolve utility or energy waste problems
determined current and future utility or energy requirements for enterprise operations, including analysing company goals, conducting utility or energy audits to identify consumption inefficiencies, and measuring consumption and cost, including waste, against agreed benchmarks
developed performance measures and indicators for utility or energy consumption and costs, based on benchmarks and enterprise goals
developed strategies for minimising and optimising utility or energy usage, including assessing and monitoring equipment performance, introducing energy efficient plant and equipment, comparing sources and recommending utility or energy substitution, changes to procedures, and assessing and minimising non-working-day use of utilities (including lighting)
evaluated, costed and recommended alternative plant, equipment, procedures and utility or energy sources to improve efficiency, including researching sources, reviewing enterprise procedures, evaluating suitable alternatives and calculating initial and maintenance costs and payback periods
identified and applied relevant workplace health and safety requirements
included safety requirements for use of utility or energy in workplace health and safety systems and procedures
interpreted and reviewed performance information, and recommended strategies for improvement
prepared contingency plans relating to utility or energy supply failures or incidents, including emergency and safety procedures, alternative supply sources and communication strategies
prepared strategies to spread utility or energy use to avoid supplier peak demand or cost periods
prepared reports, resource proposals and recommendations in styles, formats and language appropriate for relevant audiences
presented reports according to legal and enterprise requirements
recommended utility or energy suppliers and negotiated supply and costs
researched best practice models in utility or energy assessment, planning, use and sustainability, and assessed their applicability for the enterprise
used information and communications technology, including budget and cost modelling software.

Knowledge evidence

principles and methods of heat transfer and how they impact on utility or energy use, waste and cost
concepts of base load and variable load
principles of demand control, including co-generation or outage, peak load shedding and shifting to minimise costs
use of steam generation process as an energy source for plant
cost components related to the use of utility or energy, including capital, purchase, replacement and maintenance costs for plant and equipment, payback periods and net utility or energy costs
enterprise-appropriate procedures and systems for measuring utility and energy use and waste
utility or energy supply status and sources available to the enterprise.

Foundation skills

Oral communication: Communicate complex concepts and information related to utility and energy management using clear language and industry terminology relevant to stakeholder
Numeracy: Interpret and compare financial information about energy costs Measure energy usage

Questions about assessing AMPMGT506

What does an assessment tool for AMPMGT506 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AMPMGT506 needs to address all 43 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 17 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 AMPMGT506?

Auditori pulls the current release of AMPMGT506 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 AMPMGT506 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AMPMGT506 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 AMPMGT506, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
