Modification History
Release 1 (MEM05v9)
Unit Descriptor
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to perform a range of maintenance-related integrated logistic support (ILS) activities at a managerial level for any complex system or product where ILS has been selected as the through-life management system.
Application of the Unit
This unit requires application of competencies relating to ILS elements and related data management and analysis tools in the maintenance-related management and support of systems/products throughout their life of type.
Applications include the planning and support of maintenance on any complex system or product where ILS has been selected as the through-life management system and also includes the application of data produced through the configuration management (CM) process where that process has been selected to establish and maintain the design baseline of a system or product. Application of the CM process is covered by unit MEM234036A Apply configuration management procedures in engineering project management.

Required Skills and Knowledge
This section describes the skills and knowledge required for this unit. |
Required skills |
Required skills include:
|
Required knowledge |
Required knowledge includes:
|
Evidence Guide
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. |
|
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts for the maintenance-related application of ILS. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
|
Method of assessment |
|
Guidance information for assessment |
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate and appropriate to the language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
|
Technical data for logistics plans |
Technical data may be sourced from design data taken from CM data during the design and production phase and thereafter from maintenance records and data gathered to comply with organisational and/or regulatory requirements, plus the iteration of the CM process whenever modification action is required |
Life cycle cost analysis |
Life cycle cost analysis includes the systematic identification and analysis of all actual and anticipated costs associated with implementing and sustaining a system or product throughout its service life |
Costs through to life of type |
Costs through to life of type may arise from:
|
Data analysis and review |
Data analysis and review may be performed using enterprise databases and analysis tools |
Analysis results |
Analysis results may include:
|
LORA |
LORA refers to an analytical methodology used to assist in the development of maintenance concepts and to establish the maintenance level at which components will be repaired, replaced or discarded on the basis of constraints (economic or other) and readiness requirements |
A technical data management system |
A technical data management system should provide for:
|
The relevance of technical data |
The relevance of technical data may be determined through:
|
ILS standards and references |
ILS standards and references include:
