What an assessment for MEM04041 must cover

32 assessable components: 4 elements (12 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 13 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 Determine job requirements

  • 1.1Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • 1.2Comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.3Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with SOPs
  • 1.4Identify job requirements from specifications

2 Prepare to undertake work

  • 2.1Develop and plan pattern and design with reference to customer specifications for number, layout, runner system and core box design
  • 2.2Interpret and visualise pattern design from drawings, prints or plans and check against customer requirements
  • 2.3Develop a plan for the sequence in manufacture of a foundry production pattern

3 Develop pattern equipment

  • 3.1Select and obtain appropriate materials to meet requirements of strength, durability and component finish
  • 3.2Perform calculations appropriate to establishing pattern parameters

4 Manufacture production patterns and core boxes

  • 4.1Select appropriate machines and machining process to shape and produce production patterns and core boxes to specifications
  • 4.2Select and use hand and hand-held power tools to fashion and manufacture production patterns and core boxes to specifications
  • 4.3Check production patterns and core boxes conform to specifications and requirements

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • designing and planning pattern by interpreting customer specifications (verbal or written) for number, layout, runner system and core box design
  • developing a plan for sequence of manufacture for a low or high volume on at least two occasions
  • developing pattern equipment by selecting and obtaining appropriate materials on at least two occasions
  • undertaking mathematical calculations
  • selecting and using appropriate machines, machining process and hand and power tools to shape, produce, fashion and manufacture production patterns and core boxes to specifications on at least two occasions
  • checking production patterns and core boxes against specifications and requirements

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • characteristics of metals and alloys and their application in the development and manufacture of production patterns
  • tolerances and contraction rates typically used in the manufacture of production patterns
  • production moulding and casting techniques
  • tooling required for casting and moulding
  • methoding techniques
  • use and application of jigs and fixtures
  • methods of construction including machining provision and clamping arrangements
  • techniques, tools and equipment to measure, mark out and produce production patterns
  • formulae and mathematical techniques required for manufacturing production patterns and core boxes, including contraction, taper, clearances and machining allowances
  • identification coding and numbering
  • pattern checking techniques
  • mouldability including surface finish, face taper, convex or concave perspectives and undercuts.

Questions about assessing MEM04041

What does an assessment tool for MEM04041 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM04041 needs to address all 32 unit components: 4 elements with 12 performance criteria, 7 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 MEM04041?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM04041 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 MEM04041 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM04041 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 MEM04041, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
