• 2.2Develop required approaches and protocols for obtaining required data and information
• 2.3Establish group/s to assist with problem solving
• 2.4Allocate tasks, responsibilities and reporting arrangements to group/s
• 2.5Develop arrangements for consultation with required people outside of group/s

3 Analyse problem

• 3.1Apply methodology in consultation with required people
• 3.2Obtain data and information
• 3.3Review problem definition
• 3.4Review methodology
• 3.5Obtain additional data and information

4 Identify root cause

• 4.1Map causal links for problem
• 4.2Determine indicators of problem or problem precursors
• 4.3Identify causes which can be controlled

5 Develop a solution

• 5.1Develop solutions for controllable causes
• 5.2Determine cost benefit for proposed solutions
• 5.3Investigate proposed solutions for efficacy
• 5.4Select best available solution
• 5.5Obtain support and authorisations for proposed solution

6 Check problem is solved and standardised

• 6.1Monitor indicators of problem and problem precursor
• 6.2Review problem solution and implementation
• 6.3Confirm solution is standardised

What does an assessment tool for MSS407026 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MSS407026 needs to address all 36 unit components: 6 elements with 25 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 MSS407026?

Auditori pulls the current release of MSS407026 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 MSS407026 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MSS407026 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 MSS407026, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
