What an assessment for PMBPROD355E must cover
44 assessable components: 4 elements (21 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 19 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. 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 Plan work requirements
- 1.1Identify and check materials required, including additives and regrind, and their amounts or percentage ratios, from job specifications
- 1.2Identify equipment and processes required for production process and upstream and downstream operations from production plan or request
- 1.3Perform pre-operational checks including checking for and controlling hazards
- 1.4Identify checks and testing processes required for equipment, materials, quality and production management
2 Perform pre-production tasks
- 2.1Produce a plan for pattern or plug based on job specifications
- 2.2Set production process according to equipment and workplace specifications, and adjust process to optimise output based on selected materials
- 2.3Set up and adjust work area, tools, materials and equipment ready for construction of pattern or plug
- 2.4Verify materials, including measurements, are correct against job specifications
- 2.5Perform test run of pattern or plug creation process to ensure output meets job specifications
- 2.6Undertake other pre-startup checks according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
3 Construct pattern or plug
- 3.1Start pattern or plug construction process, and make adjustments to settings to meet job specifications
- 3.2Ensure process is operating according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
- 3.3Follow checking and testing processes to assess if output meets job specifications and quality standards, and apply strategies for managing nonconforming outputs
- 3.4Complete construction process according to job specifications
- 3.5Finish pattern or plug by treating, preparing and repairing surface as required
- 3.6Work efficiently to minimise scrap and trim according to workplace procedures
- 3.7Clean and adjust equipment according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
4 Anticipate and solve process control variances
- 4.1Recognise existing or potential process control variances and their causes
- 4.2Determine, prioritise and implement remedial and preventative actions based on identified issues and causes
- 4.3Monitor process control variances and corrective actions taken until resolved
- 4.4Accurately maintain records and logbooks
Performance evidence
- make a pattern or plug for a composite mould at least once to meet job specifications.
Knowledge evidence
- composite moulding processes and function and operating principles of moulding equipment
- production workflow sequences and materials demand
- characteristics of materials and their behaviour in the processes
- the criteria for overall process/equipment readiness for the process or equipment being used
- quality requirements at each stage of construction
- moulding process variables that affect pattern or plug construction and materials, including
- temperatures
- colour and uniformity
- surface finish or appearance
- times (including curing rates)
- general conformance to specification
- product design requirements that affect pattern or plug construction and materials
- common options and adjustments in pattern or plug construction, including methods for surface treatment, preparation and repair
- typical and atypical process and product problems, including early warning signs, possible causes and corrective actions
- organisational procedures relevant to the work environment or job role
- hazards that may arise in the job or work environment, and:
- their possible causes
- potential consequences
- appropriate risk controls.
Foundation skills
- Numeracy: Numeracy skills to calculate quantities of materials required.
- Reading: Reading skills to interpret job and equipment specifications and workplace procedures.
- Writing and oral communication: Writing and oral communication skills to record and report on process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPROD355E
What does an assessment tool for PMBPROD355E need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPROD355E needs to address all 44 unit components: 4 elements with 21 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 19 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 PMBPROD355E?
Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPROD355E 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 PMBPROD355E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing PMBPROD355E 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 PMBPROD355E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
