What an assessment for MEM29010 must cover

32 assessable components: 5 elements (18 performance criteria), 5 performance evidence and 9 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.

2 Identify and schedule preventative maintenance requirements

  • 2.1Identify equipment and components requiring preventative maintenance from workplace maintenance strategy, equipment and other workplace records, manufacturer’s documentation, and discussions with relevant personnel
  • 2.2Review data from Industry 4.0 systems and processes including digital twin information where available for preventative maintenance requirements
  • 2.3Prioritise preventative maintenance requirements
  • 2.4Review operational and Industry 4.0 systems requirements and schedule preventative maintenance for least disruption to operations

3 Plan preventative maintenance tasks

  • 3.1Identify preventative maintenance task requirements from appropriate workplace records, Industry 4.0 generated data, manufacturer’s documentation, and discussions with relevant personnel
  • 3.2Identify and apply workplace health and safety (WHS) requirements for the preventative maintenance tasks
  • 3.3Confirm scheduling of preventative maintenance tasks with appropriate personnel
  • 3.4Plan preventative maintenance tasks, including isolation and reconnection requirements, required equipment and materials, and risk management procedures

4 Supervise the implementation of preventative maintenance tasks

  • 4.1Brief personnel performing preventative maintenance on task plan and WHS procedures to be followed
  • 4.2Monitor conduct of preventative maintenance task by maintenance and other required personnel
  • 4.3Analyse non-conformances against the preventative maintenance plan and implement procedures for appropriate remedial actions

5 Ensure equipment and operations are restored to Industry 4.0 workplace requirements

  • 5.1Monitor completion of preventative maintenance tasks, including test runs of machinery and associated equipment
  • 5.2Supervise any required re-establishment of data connections and networking
  • 5.3Restore work site and equipment to work-ready state
  • 5.4Document completion of preventative maintenance task according to workplace procedures

Performance evidence

  • identify Industry 4.0 related systems used in at least two workplaces or work locations
  • identify data relevant to preventative maintenance on at least two occasions from at least one Industry 4.0 related system
  • review procedures, products and processes for possible causes of deviations from patterns of normal use for at least two workplace systems or major equipment items
  • establish a plan for at least two preventative maintenance tasks. The plans are to include: • work order/authority to conduct maintenance • description of equipment or component to undergo maintenance including: • purpose • operational characteristics • available resources such as drawings, manufacturer’s documentation, previous maintenance records • WHS requirements and procedures • equipment shut down and isolation procedures • data collection and connectivity status before, during, and after maintenance • assessment of equipment failure characteristics including availability of fail-safe mode • link failure characteristics to maintenance systems • identification of production windows • creation of a work schedule • required physical and human resources including: • tools, equipment and spares • task team members • identification of critical equipment and components • plant performance and history • availability of spares • procedures to test success of maintenance including test run of equipment • information to be recorded during and after completion of maintenance.
  • Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

  • types of maintenance including: • preventative versus breakdown or corrective maintenance • predictive versus preventative maintenance • maintenance terminology
  • the role of data in supporting analyses related to preventative and predictive maintenance including: • failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) • mean time between failures (MTBF) • overall equipment efficiency (OEE)
  • basic condition monitoring principles, processes and resources including information from: • on board operating and fault reporting data transmission by equipment • external condition monitoring through: • vision systems or vibration monitoring • other types of condition monitoring sensors • diagnostic reports obtained from supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) or other enterprise or equipment software • product or process quality analyses • non-destructive testing techniques and reports • inspection by maintenance employees and other experts
  • dependency of predictive and preventative maintenance analytics on data collection and processing strategies within the workplace
  • advantages of preventative and predictive maintenance in an Industry 4.0 workplace environment including: • maintenance of production through reduced downtime due to unplanned stoppages • increased equipment efficiency and reliability • maintenance of connectivity and data flow from sensors, processors and other equipment
  • maintenance roles within a typical manufacturing or engineering workplace including: • operator maintenance • role of maintenance tradespersons including contractors • technical and professional engineering employees
  • strategies for maintaining or improving data collection for preventative and predictive maintenance purposes including: • review of available software and its capabilities in regard to maintenance • review of sensors, run sheets, maintenance reports and other data collection strategies • vision systems • remote visual inspection and other inspection techniques
  • non-destructive testing techniques relevant to maintenance including: • thermography • vibration analysis • oil analysis
  • preventative maintenance task plan content including: • work order/authority to conduct maintenance • description of equipment or component to undergo maintenance including: • purpose • operational characteristics • available resources such as drawings, manufacturer’s documentation, previous maintenance records • maintenance task scheduling window • WHS requirements • equipment shut down and isolation procedures • data collection and connectivity status before, during and after maintenance • implementation procedures • potential failure characteristics including fail-safe mode availability • required tools, equipment and spares • information to be recorded during and after completion of maintenance • equipment spares.

Questions about assessing MEM29010

What does an assessment tool for MEM29010 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM29010 needs to address all 32 unit components: 5 elements with 18 performance criteria, 5 performance evidence requirements, 9 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 MEM29010?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM29010 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 MEM29010 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM29010 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 MEM29010, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
