Unit of competency

Modification History

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

Application

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan logistics support for deployed elements of an organisation in support of organisational operations in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

This unit of competency is applicable to logistics personnel who have a responsibility to organise the delivery of logistics support in a deployed context. This person will typically plan logistics support for relatively simple operations. This type of operation would enable planning to be completed by an individual as opposed to a significant operation where planning is usually completed by a team of professionals and operational control is at the highest level of the organisation.

This role requires management and leadership skills.

Logistics support may be comprised of a range of capabilities from different disciplines including road transport, supply, maintenance, catering or health.

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

Pre-requisite Unit

Not applicable.

Competency Field

X – Logistics

Unit Sector

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

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

1 

Analyse logistics requirement 

1.1

Operational requirement is analysed to establish scope and intent of logistics support

1.2

Operating environment is identified and information is sought to establish operational operating and logistics factors

1.3

Limitations and constraints are determined to establish feasible and realistic courses of actions

1.4

Critical facts and assumptions are made to allow planning to progress in the absence of developed knowledge of the current situation

2 

Analyse risks to logistics support 

2.1

Risk analysis is conducted to identify and mitigate against unacceptable risks in accordance with organisational policy and procedures

2.2

Liaison with agencies involved in operational logistics is undertaken to ensure most effective coordination of effort

2.3

Local population and organisations in operating area are analysed to identify possible disruption to logistics support

3 

Develop logistics plan 

3.1

Logistics situation is reviewed to inform planning

3.2

Planning timeline is prepared to guide planning activities and to ensure sufficient time is allowed to disseminate information and subsequent preparation of personnel and equipment

Assessment Conditions

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.
