Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan and control inventory levels of materials required for vessel maintenance.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify materials requirements
- 1.1 Drawings and specifications for vessel and equipment are read and interpreted to determine materials requirements
- 1.2 Sources of product supply are identified
- 1.3 Normal quantity supply and matching storage facilities and equipment are identified
- 1.4 Safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS) or other supplier information are read, any relevant engineering controls or personal protection equipment are identified and any additional resources required for handling and storing materials are documented
- 1.5 Procedures to deal with fire or explosion risk, spills or injury are identified and recorded
2 Plan inventory levels
- 2.1 Estimates are calculated according to specification requirements and organisational procedures
- 2.2 Cost reports are prepared
- 2.3 Estimates that meet the initial requirements are documented
- 2.4 Estimates are authorised by appropriate personnel for implementation
3 Monitor receipt and dispatch of goods
- 3.1 Organisational procedures are implemented in the receipt, dispatch and secure storage of materials
- 3.2 Materials are inspected for quality and quantity on receipt
- 3.3 Variation to quantity and quality of delivered materials is acted upon according to organisational procedures
- 3.4 Safe handling and storage of materials is supervised according to organisational procedures
- 3.5 All information is formatted and entered into inventory system according to organisational procedures and system requirements
4 Manage stock control
- 4.1 Organisational procedures are implemented for stock control and inventories
- 4.2 Procedures are established and implemented to monitor and control stock levels
- 4.3 Stock levels are monitored and maintained at required levels
- 4.4 Stock reorder cycles are maintained and adjusted as required
- 4.5 Stocktaking procedures are established and implemented
- 4.6 Contingency plans for stock delivery times are established and implemented
- 4.7 Accurate reports on stock inventories are prepared

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include:
accurately forecasting inventory demand
planning for inventory required to meet special events or contingencies.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
Resources for assessment include access to:
industry-approved marine operations site where managing stores for planned maintenance system can be conducted
tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities
range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessments
appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace.
In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:
relevant and appropriate materials and equipment
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
Method of assessment
Practical assessment must occur in an:
appropriately simulated workplace environment and/or
appropriate range of situations in the workplace.
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate to this unit:
direct observation of the candidate managing stores for planned maintenance system
direct observation of the candidate applying relevant WHS/OHS requirements and work practices.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess Required Knowledge.
Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language and literacy requirements of the work being performed and the capacity of the candidate.
