Release 1.  This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop materiel logistics processes and procedures in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

It includes anticipating and confirming the need for development, the development processes, gathering and analysing information, determining direction, and drafting, releasing and promoting the processes. It also includes the initial development of procedures integral to the processes.

This unit was developed for materiel logistics specialists working in integrated logistics support roles and materiel sustainment roles; but may be applicable to individuals in broader logistics roles.

Individuals work independently or as part of a team under direct or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

• adhering to relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements
• analysing the materiel logistics environment
• applying materiel logistics and project management knowledge when developing processes and procedures
• consulting and negotiating with internal and external stakeholders and resolving potential areas of conflict or concern to ensure overall objectives are achieved
• developing processes and procedures that can be readily understood by users
• identifying relationships between organisational goals and recognising how own work contributes to achieving these goals
• identifying requirements for processes and procedures, and adjusting them as necessary to ensure effective and efficient performance of processes
• incorporating feedback and analysis of information to overcome challenges or setbacks
• initiating and efficiently monitoring processes
• initiating remedial action required
• undertaking performance measurement to enable objectives to be measured against defined parameters
• undertaking research and analysis to determine where internal and external factors impact on materiel logistics processes and procedures, and adjust accordingly
• using appropriate information technology and software
• using organisational strategic objectives to identify long-term factors and external considerations for developing materiel logistics processes and procedures.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:
