What an assessment for MEM18006 must cover

43 assessable components: 5 elements (20 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 16 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

2 Plan and prepare to undertake work

  • 2.1Assess operation and condition of components against specifications
  • 2.2Identify and isolate any faulty or worn components
  • 2.3Mark component parts for identification, where required
  • 2.4Determine the cause/s of faults using appropriate engineering principles, techniques, procedures, tools and equipment
  • 2.5Determine repair/replacement strategy

3 Manufacture and/or repair and/or replace faulty components

  • 3.1Obtain parts, component and or materials from appropriate sources
  • 3.2Source, repair or produce components to meet specifications
  • 3.3Inspect components for compliance with specifications

4 Fit engineering components into assemblies or sub-assemblies

  • 4.1Determine the correct fitting requirements and sequence of assembly
  • 4.2Prepare and assemble component parts using fastening equipment and methods which ensures conformance to specifications, operational performance, quality and safety
  • 4.3Determine lubrication requirements by appropriate means and lubricate, where applicable
  • 4.4Perform final adjustments on component assembly to meet operational specifications

5 Check operation of repaired components/unit

  • 5.1Check all components/unit under operational conditions for compliance to specifications
  • 5.2Approve any out-of-specification modification/alterations through an appropriate authority and record
  • 5.3Perform final modifications/alterations on assembly to meet operational specifications
  • 5.4Commission the final assembly and return to service

Performance evidence

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices
  • assessing engineering components visually and dimensionally with appropriate testing and measuring equipment techniques for compliance to specifications
  • repairing or replacing faulty components using appropriate tools, equipment and techniques
  • assembling components using appropriate fitting techniques and principles
  • recording approved modifications/alterations
  • inspecting final assembly to check compliance to specifications
  • returning the final assembly to service in accordance with SOPs

Knowledge evidence

  • safe work practices and procedures and use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • tools and equipment used to dismantle, repair, assemble and fit engineering components
  • consequences of having non-compliant components
  • types of modifications/adjustments to components being repaired/fitted
  • repair methods
  • sources of replacement parts
  • techniques for the production of engineering components
  • assembly and fitting techniques
  • machine backlash/recoil
  • measuring equipment
  • engineering components - shafts, single and multi-throw crankshafts, cams and journals, bearings and bearing surfaces, and keys
  • squareness, roundness, concentricity, flatness, straightness, surface finish and angular correctness
  • purpose, selection criteria and use of gland packing, jointing or gasket materials
  • types and application of lubricants
  • approval processes for documenting out-of-specification modifications
  • commissioning and return to service procedures

Questions about assessing MEM18006

What does an assessment tool for MEM18006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM18006 needs to address all 43 unit components: 5 elements with 20 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 16 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 MEM18006?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM18006 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 MEM18006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM18006 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 MEM18006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
