What an assessment for MEM10004 must cover

30 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 5 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
  • 1.3Identify job requirements from specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions

2 Install program

  • 2.1Download software, as required
  • 2.2Undertake appropriate checks during and after downloading to ensure data transfer is accurate and complete

3 Verify machine/system/process operation

  • 3.1Undertake appropriate checks after downloading to ensure machine operation or process output is accurate to specification
  • 3.2Ensure specific problems in machine operation or process output being controlled by the programmable controller are identified in accordance with SOPs
  • 3.3Ensure specific changes required to operating parameters within the software program are derived in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications and procedures
  • 3.4Make adjustments/changes to operating parameters in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications
  • 3.5Take final check of machine operation and/or process output to ensure that they are in accordance with specifications
  • 3.6Report changes and adjustments in accordance with SOPs

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • identifying and interpreting specifications and drawings for downloading software programs for a programmable logic controller (PLC) and/or distributed control system (DCS), and undertaking appropriate checks ensuring data transfer is accurate and completed according to specifications
  • verifying system operation and making adjustments to the operating parameters, as required
  • completing final check of machine operation and/or processing for compliance to specifications
  • reporting all changes and adjustments according to standard operating procedures.

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work practices and procedures
  • appropriate and correct program loading techniques and reasons for selecting the chosen program loading technique
  • checks to be undertaken during and after downloading
  • reasons for checking that the data transfer is accurate and complete
  • action to be taken if data transfer is inaccurate and/or incomplete
  • specifications relating to the transferred data
  • correct operation of the machine or process
  • specific machine operations or process outputs being controlled by the programmable controller
  • specific problems in accordance with SOPs
  • operating parameters within the software program
  • SOPs, including industry standards, production schedules, safety data sheets (SDS), work notes and plans, product labels, manufacturers’ specifications, operator manuals, enterprise policies and procedures, supervisors’ oral and written instructions, current state/territory work health and safety (WHS) legislation, standards and codes of practice
  • specification to be met and functions to be controlled and machine operation or process output
  • reporting process
  • procedures to change parameters and their implications.

Questions about assessing MEM10004

What does an assessment tool for MEM10004 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM10004 needs to address all 30 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 5 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 MEM10004?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM10004 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 MEM10004 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM10004 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 MEM10004, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
