Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan logistic support for deployed elements of an organisation in support of organisational operations. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Analyse the logistic requirement
- 1.1 Operational requirement is analysed in order to establish the scope and intent of logistic support
- 1.2 Operating environment is identified and information is sought to establish the operating and logistic factors relating to the operation
- 1.3 Limitations and constraints are determined in order to establish what courses of actions are feasible and realistic
- 1.4 Critical facts and assumptions are made in order to allow planning to progress in the absence of developed knowledge of the current situation
2Analyse risks to logistic 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 the operation's logistic is undertaken to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
- 2.3 Local population and organisations in the operating area are analysed to identify any possible disruption to logistic support
3Develop the logistic plan
- 3.1 Logistic 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
- 3.3 Logistic concept is created and based upon the analysis and the principles of logistic, operational suitability, feasibility and acceptance by management
- 3.4 Logistic plan is developed in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
- 3.5 Plan is adjusted in accordance with changing operational need
- 3.6 Contingency plans are developed
- 3.7 Logistic plan is communicated to stakeholders
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.
Limitations and constraints may include:
restrictions imposed by management
restrictions on movement
access to ports, loading areas, lifting equipment
access to resupply of fuel, water, food
the requirement to maintain a reserve of capacity or capability
quarantine restriction
Critical facts and assumptions may include:
composition of own resources
location and condition of key equipment
load capability of roads
distance
turnaround time
availability of local resources
Operating environment may include:
the terrain and climate
the location and capability of handling equipment
availability of local resources
movement corridors and routes
Operational factors may include:
mission essential equipment
operational period
availability of local resources
repair policy, including preventive maintenance requirements for material in stock
service level required at each line of stockholding
effects of terrain and climatic conditions on personnel and material
any arrangements for the provision of supplies and services
predicted usage rates
expected losses and delays within the logistic network and distribution system through adverse weather, fire or other hazards
predicted need to relocate stocks during deployment
Logistic factors may include:
movement lead time between the home location and operating area
transport lift capacities available
planned frequency of replenishment
availability of suitable areas, infrastructure and facilities
availability of lifting/loading equipment and trained workforce required to provide supply support to the stock
engineering effort necessary to enhance the logistic network and provide for storage facilities
potential variability of usage rates
probability of delays in either procurement or delivery

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:
applying the planning process outlined within the elements and performance criteria in response to a logistic support task in a deployed setting
applying organisational policy and procedure relating to planning of logistic support
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 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
