This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and monitor integrated logistics support plans and associated subordinate plans in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

This unit was developed for integrated logistics support specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to individuals in broader logistics roles.

Typically these individuals work independently or as part of a team under direct and/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.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

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

• applying integrated logistics support and project management knowledge
• applying integrated logistics support plan knowledge to assist in work and to guide problem solving
• applying relevant implementation processes
• consulting and negotiating with internal and external stakeholders, and resolving potential areas of conflict or concern to ensure overall objectives are achieved
• developing and/or complying with procedures
• displaying resilience by continuing to move forward despite criticism or setbacks
• ensuring mechanisms are in place to monitor integrated logistics support plans
• identifying relationships between organisational goals and recognising how own work contributes to achieving these goals
• undertaking performance measurement to enable objectives to be measured against defined parameters
• using materiel logistics program strategic objectives to identify long-term factors and external considerations for integrated logistics support planning.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

• codification and cataloguing processes
• configuration management
• integrated logistics support processes related to planning
• international agreements
• interoperability
• level of written communication required to prepare correspondence and reports
• logistics support analysis principles and processes
• organisational policy and procedures impacting on integrated logistics support
• organisational role relevant to integrated logistics support
• performance measurement
• product knowledge related to systems and/or equipment in service in the organisation
• safety, legislative and statutory requirements, including environmental, sustainability issues

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in 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 include:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
• applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
• computer and relevant software
• legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to integrated logistics support
• integrated logistics support plans and associated subordinate plans.
