• 1.5Verify facilities, services, plant, tooling and software, process layout and use of automation are appropriate to product manufacturability
• 1.6Confirm that compliance requirements of work health and safety (WHS) regulations, codes of practice, standards, risk assessment and registration requirements for manufacturing plant are observed

2 Develop the production or project plan

• 2.1Participate in development of demand forecast
• 2.2Prepare production or project plan in consultation with relevant stakeholders to meet quality, demand and delivery timelines within capacity and budget constraints
• 2.3Manage preparation of purchasing schedules based on scope of project or operation
• 2.4Manage or assist in preparation of production schedules within scope of own job role
• 2.5Develop contingency arrangements suited to production parameters
• 2.6Review final proposals with relevant stakeholders
• 2.7Develop key performance indicators (KPIs) for materials supply

3 Implement the plan

• 3.1Delegate responsibilities for purchasing and detailed scheduling and communicate priorities and key performance indicators (KPIs)
• 3.2Manage materials and product flow and transfer operations, buffer and emergency stocks, warehousing, stores and logistics
• 3.3Coordinate quality and process control procedures
• 3.4Coordinate and monitor physical, human and financial resources and budget to achieve production plan
• 3.5Communicate and maintain information and reporting procedures, and participate, cooperate and negotiate with relevant stakeholders
• 3.6Co-ordinate continuous improvement, problem-solving and decision-making, address systems constraints and contingencies, adjust short-term planning and reschedule, as necessary

4 Monitor operational performance

• 4.1Review actual materials supply against key performance indicators (KPIs)
• 4.2Contribute to review of manufacturing operations against plan and other key performance indicators (KPIs)
• 4.3Participate in continuous improvement procedures implemented in the organisation
• 4.4Review options and implementation of software options including enterprise resource planning (ERP), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and spreadsheets
• 4.5Contribute to risk management procedures and system maintenance in accordance with organisational procedures
• 4.6Report progress against plan in accordance with organisational procedures
• 4.7Provide required documentation, data entry and analysis

What does an assessment tool for MEM234027 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM234027 needs to address all 46 unit components: 4 elements with 26 performance criteria, 6 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 MEM234027?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM234027 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 MEM234027 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM234027 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 MEM234027, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
