What an assessment for MEM07018 must cover

33 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 14 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, drawings, job sheets or work instructions
  • 1.5Select appropriate NC and CNC program elements for machine controller

2 Write basic NC and CNC machine program

  • 2.1Interpret engineering drawings to define basic machines, function and tool path geometry
  • 2.2Calculate coordinates for simple tool path or basic machining functions
  • 2.3Write program in standard code format in accordance with SOPs
  • 2.4Produce operation sheets to specification in accordance with SOPs

3 Trial program

  • 3.1Operate machine in manual mode to test and prove program
  • 3.2Edit program, if necessary, to adjust operation, as required
  • 3.3Check components for conformance to specification

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • identifying and interpreting specifications, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents in writing basic numerically controlled (NC) and computer numerically controlled (CNC) programs
  • calculating coordinates for tooling and producing operation sheets for the program and process
  • writing NC and CNC machine programs using standard code format
  • producing NC/CNC operation sheets
  • operating the machine to test it operates to specification undertaking any required editing of the program
  • checking parts or products for conformance to specifications.

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • elements of a basic NC and CNC program and the function of elements in controlling the operation of NC and CNC machine
  • machining operations
  • types of NC and CNC machines and their applications
  • machining operations controlled by program
  • tool paths to be followed when producing a part or product
  • sequence of machining operations and the reasons for selecting tool paths and sequence of operations
  • purpose of the zero point of the NC and CNC machine
  • standard codes and procedures for writing used in NC and CNC programs and their applications
  • procedures for completing NC and CNC operation sheets and the information to be included in NC and CNC operation sheets
  • procedures for manual operation of the NC and CNC machine
  • reasons for testing and proving the NC and CNC program
  • procedures for editing the NC and CNC program via the machine controller and the effects of editing on the operation of the NC and CNC machine and the part or product to be produced
  • measuring equipment/techniques used to check for conformance to specification.

Questions about assessing MEM07018

What does an assessment tool for MEM07018 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM07018 needs to address all 33 unit components: 3 elements with 12 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 14 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 MEM07018?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM07018 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 MEM07018 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM07018 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 MEM07018, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
