What an assessment for MEM23134 must cover

39 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 6 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 scope of evaluation

  • 1.1Identify purpose and extent of use of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges to be evaluated
  • 1.2Confirm stakeholders to be consulted on evaluation
  • 1.3Confirm that appropriate support, including technical and professional assistance, is available
  • 1.4Identify relevant work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory requirements, standards, codes of practice, risk management and organisational procedures

2 Prepare for evaluation

  • 2.1Identify principles and techniques required to evaluate and optimise selected jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges and their use in related manufacturing processes
  • 2.2Select appropriate analysis and development software and software validation techniques
  • 2.3Consult with relevant tradespersons or contractors on any specific requirements or constraints for manufacture, supply or modification of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges

3 Evaluate jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges and related manufacturing processes

  • 3.1Review design and construction features and functions of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges and related manufacturing processes
  • 3.2Apply systems thinking, continuous improvement, problem-solving and decision-making, and constraint and contingency management principles and techniques to evaluation
  • 3.3Assess jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges for compliance with WHS and other regulatory and risk management requirements
  • 3.4Assess jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges, products and processes for sustainability
  • 3.5Assess effectiveness of integration of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges with lean systems and techniques used within the organisation
  • 3.6Review integration of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges with production management and control software
  • 3.7Assess effectiveness of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges for manufacturing process design and optimisation
  • 3.8Review jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges in relation to product manufacturability and process maintainability

4 Report results

  • 4.1Record results of evaluation
  • 4.2Provide documentation including tool, product and process analysis, and computer-aided design (CAD) files

Performance evidence

  • determining parameters and context of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges in manufacturing processes
  • reviewing design and construction features, functions, applications and limitations of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges on at least two occasions
  • investigating sustainability implications of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges
  • identifying principles, design, analysis techniques and requirements of manufacturing software, including supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) required to evaluate and optimise jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges and related manufacturing processes
  • evaluating WHS, regulatory and risk management compliance
  • reporting and documenting results of evaluation

Knowledge evidence

  • work health and safety (WHS) and regulatory compliance requirements, and risk management practices relevant to jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges and related manufacturing and maintenance processes
  • purpose of jigs and fixtures
  • typical jigs, fixtures, templates and gauge applications, including effects on: - repeatability of processes - accuracy and other quality requirements - labour and skill requirements for operations
  • features and functions, of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges
  • integration with or facilitation of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges with lean manufacturing techniques including: - standardisation - reduction of waste (also often called muda) - task time - just in time (JIT)
  • typical construction methods for jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges
  • graphical representations and developments of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges, including assemblies, component parts, operational overlays and user instructions
  • dimensioning systems, including tolerances, limits and fits, and effect on manufacturing method
  • appropriate technical and professional assistance
  • materials and their applications in jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges
  • positioning, locating and clamping methods
  • design and simulation techniques, including use of computer-aided design (CAD) software for design and animations
  • jig, fixture, template and gauge manufacturing techniques including: - fabrication and joining processes - machining including milling, turning and grinding - post-processing of CAD files - computer numeric control (CNC) machining - electro-discharge machining (EDM) - additive and rapid processes - heat treatment - surface treatments - finish grinding and polishing
  • SCADA and other manufacturing control software and implications for jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges
  • systems thinking, continuous improvement, constraint and contingency management, and comparative supply chain performance
  • sustainability implications of jigs, fixtures, templates and gauges

Questions about assessing MEM23134

What does an assessment tool for MEM23134 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM23134 needs to address all 39 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 6 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 MEM23134?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM23134 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 MEM23134 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM23134 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 MEM23134, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
