What an assessment for PMBPROD370E must cover

44 assessable components: 5 elements (30 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 11 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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 materials requirements, including additives and their amounts or percentage ratios, from job specifications
  • 1.2Identify equipment and processes required for production and upstream and downstream operations from job specifications
  • 1.3Perform pre-operational checks including checking for and controlling hazards, checking planned and historical maintenance fixes and confirming that any historical issues have been appropriately addressed
  • 1.4Identify and check emergency stops, guards and controls
  • 1.5Identify checks and testing processes required for equipment, materials, quality and production management to meet job specifications
  • 1.6Identify housekeeping tasks and waste management strategies according to workplace procedures
  • 1.7Check availability of post-moulding labelling, packaging and storage consumables to complete task once in operation

2 Perform pre-production tasks

  • 2.1Verify equipment requirements against 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 equipment production line settings according to equipment and job specifications
  • 2.4Verify materials are correct against job specifications
  • 2.5Set up date, batch and materials markings according to workplace procedures
  • 2.6Undertake other pre-startup checks according to equipment specifications and safe workplace procedures

3 Operate and make adjustments to injection blow moulding process

  • 3.1Start up and safely operate moulding processes, and make adjustments to settings to meet job specifications
  • 3.2Operate injection and blow moulding equipment safely, and adjust settings to meet job specifications
  • 3.3Ensure process is operating according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
  • 3.4Follow checking and testing processes to confirm if output meets job specifications and quality standards, and apply strategies to manage nonconforming outputs
  • 3.5Maintain continuity of process to support production requirements
  • 3.6Accurately complete logs and records and any observations that require attention
  • 3.7Apply waste management strategies to collect excess, discarded or nonconforming materials to be disposed of, recycled or reprocessed according to safe workplace procedures
  • 3.8Clean work area, and clean, adjust and lubricate equipment, according to equipment specifications and workplace procedures
  • 3.9Pause or stop machine cycle in normal and abnormal circumstances according to safe 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 complete records and logbooks

5 Shut down injection blow moulding equipment

  • 5.1Shut down equipment according to equipment instructions and safe workplace procedures
  • 5.2Complete equipment clean-up and post-production adjustments according to equipment instructions and safe workplace procedures
  • 5.3Put guards, locks and notices in place to prevent inadvertent startup
  • 5.4Accurately complete workplace shutdown documentation, including logging any identified safety issues or concerns that require attention and notifying management and/or maintenance for action

Performance evidence

  • produce injection blow moulded products at least once to meet job specifications.

Knowledge evidence

  • the functions of injection blow moulding equipment and machine components
  • the characteristics and properties of plastic materials and additives commonly used in this moulding/manufacturing process: physical and end-use applications, operating temperatures during processing, chemical resistance
  • the principles of operation of injection blow moulding equipment and ancillary equipment
  • mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical and electronic principles that affect machine operation, and their respective safety hazards
  • injection blow moulding manufacturing process and sequences of the cycle
  • the criteria for overall process/equipment readiness for the process or equipment being used
  • typical quality standards required at each stage of production
  • key variables that may affect product quality and production output, including: pre-form temperature, operating temperatures, machine cycle sequence times, primary and secondary pressures, set of the stretch
  • 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, including procedures for the emergency shutdown of equipment
  • hazards that may arise in the job or work environment, and: their possible causes, potential consequences, appropriate risk controls.

Foundation skills

  • Reading skills: Reading skills to interpret job and equipment specifications and workplace procedures.
  • Writing and oral communication skills: Writing and oral communication skills to record and report on shutdowns and process control variances.

Questions about assessing PMBPROD370E

What does an assessment tool for PMBPROD370E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBPROD370E needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 30 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 PMBPROD370E?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMBPROD370E 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 PMBPROD370E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMBPROD370E 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 PMBPROD370E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
