Unit Descriptor

Unit Descriptor	This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide input to the development of materiel logistics strategies by employees, or others, who are not directly responsible for the development process itself. It includes contributions to the consultative, validation and review phases and the provision of feedback on the process. Materiel systems are a composite of equipment, skills and techniques capable of performing or supporting an operational role, or both. A complete materiel system includes all equipment, related facilities, materiel, software, services and personnel required for its operation and support, to the degree that it can be considered self-sufficient in its intended operational environment. Materiel logistics is the life cycle management of materiel to achieve the stated objectives of the capability managers. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.

Application of the Unit

Application of the Unit	This unit was developed for logistics specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to any individual in this field of work. Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to 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. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures. This unit cannot be used in a qualification in which TLIX6001A Formulate materiel logistics strategies has been used.

Evidence Guide

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to: adhere to relevant occupational health and safety requirements identify the requirements for contribution and adjust them as necessary to ensure they meet objectives initiate and efficiently monitor processes initiate any remedial action required Competency should be demonstrated over time and should be observed in a range of actual or simulated work contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment Access is required to: computer and relevant software legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to materiel logistics plans workplace documentation
Method of assessment	Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation Where possible, assessment should be supported by questions to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should suit the language and literacy levels of the candidate Assessment methods should reflect workplace demands such as literacy and the needs of particular groups Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit of competency may include a combination of methods such as: authenticated evidence from the workplace and/or training programs case studies demonstration feedback from supervisors and peers regarding the candidate's ability observation portfolios projects questioning reviews or reports prepared by the candidate scenarios simulation or role plays

Range Statement

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.
Stakeholders may include:	capability manager contractors customers employees government agencies owners project managers regulators subordinates supervisors suppliers
Materiel may include:	all items (including ships, tanks, self-propelled weapon, aircraft etc. and related spares, repair parts and support equipment but excluding real property, installations and utilities) necessary to equip, operate, maintain and support designated activities without distinction as to its application for administrative or operational purposes
Organisational policy and procedures may include:	Australian Standards international standards organisational instructions and standards
Legislation may include:	regulations related to such matters as export and import licensing, taxes and duties relevant federal, state and local government legislation and regulations including environmental, sustainability and, certification requirements

Product may include:	materials, parts, components, subassemblies, assemblies and equipment. The term product can encompass a family of products. A family of products is defined as all products of the same classification, design, construction, material, type, produced with the same production facilities, processes and quality of material, under the same management and quality controls, but having the acceptable variety of physical and functional characteristics defined and specified in the applicable engineering documentation
Logistics support analysis is:	the process for identifying and analysing the functional supportability requirements consistent with the goals of the integrated logistic support program. Logistic support analysis also describes the process for coordinated development of logistics related task data, and the processing of that data to define logistics resource requirements. Logistic support analysis defines analytical process for the preparation for in-service support and disposal, and the interface with Supportability Assessments (Supportability Test and Evaluation)
