any arrangements for the provision of supplies and services by the local population or other supporting organisations
expected duration of operations
predicted usage rates
expected losses and delays within the logistic network and distribution system through adverse weather, fire or other hazard
predicted need to relocate stocks during operations
Technical supply factors may include:
movement lead time between the home location and the area of operations

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
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of the following:
accurately identify the inputs required to undertake provisioning in accordance with the operational task
calculate provisioning requirements of all classes of supply
produce the outputs required of provisioning to support distribution planning
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be demonstrated on at least one occasion covering the scope of the unit of competence
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
access to an 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, and
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment
Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation
As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests
Practical assessment must occur:
through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or
in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
