• 1.3Identify possible tooling, process and equipment needs
• 1.4Develop design brief, including relevant drawings, to meet needs
• 1.5Obtain approval of total design brief from all relevant persons and according to workplace authorisation procedures

2 Determine material requirements for product

• 2.1Select base polymer grade or polymer blend or range of polymers or grades for evaluation
• 2.2Select types of reinforcement and other additives needed to meet product requirements
• 2.3Determine material testing and evaluation regime required to meet product end use requirements, including regulatory or industry code requirements

• 2.5Guide materials trial process and interpret results to inform product specifications
• 2.6Determine final materials specification from trial outcomes

3 Determine process requirements for product

• 3.1Select production process that achieves requirements
• 3.2Determine any special process or equipment required for production
• 3.3Create production and assembly drawings for all components required for production
• 3.4Communicate with production personnel to establish any production risks, concerns or special requirements

4 Ensure process needs for new product have been met

• 4.1Liaise with relevant personnel (tool or die or mould or equipment design or procurement) to finalise process for new product
• 4.2Interpret hardware specifications and ensure they are appropriate for job required
• 4.3Liaise with process personnel to ensure appropriate draft procedures for new product have been developed

5 Trial new product through the production process

• 5.1Design trialling procedure that delivers required information and is compliant with workplace procedures
• 5.2Ensure work health and safety requirements are stringently observed during production process
• 5.3Coordinate trial of new production process and resulting output
• 5.4Guide production trial process and interpret results to assess if desired outcomes are achieved
• 5.5Modify and refine process to optimise production process and outcomes of new product

6 Determine process capability

• 6.1Plot statistical process control charts that demonstrate production process capability
• 6.2Determine three-sigma confidence limits
• 6.3Compare confidence limits with product specification

7 Coordinate product trials

• 7.1Determine product testing and evaluation regime required to meet end-use requirements, including regulatory or industry code requirements
• 7.2Arrange for testing and evaluation of trial product or prototype to ensure product meets requirements
• 7.3Guide product trial process results and guide product trial process according to workplace procedures
• 7.4Determine final product specification based on trial results, and reflect on results to make required changes to materials, process and equipment according to workplace procedures

8 Implement standard procedures for new product

• 8.1Monitor initial production and adjust process, conditions and materials and adjust as required to ensure efficient and successful production processes
• 8.2Ensure process specifications reflect optimised operation developed
• 8.3Ensure workplace procedures are correct for new product
• 8.4Ensure equipment and other hardware records are updated to reflect additions or changes
• 8.5Ensure project records are complete and all required reports have been completed and submitted
• 8.6Archive records according to workplace procedures

What does an assessment tool for PMBTECH601E need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for PMBTECH601E needs to address all 50 unit components: 8 elements with 36 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 PMBTECH601E?

Auditori pulls the current release of PMBTECH601E 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 PMBTECH601E — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing PMBTECH601E 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 PMBTECH601E, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
