Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to establish and develop a strategy and model for supply chain management. The establishment and development of supply chains in the materiel system are an integral support to the stated capability requirement. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Determine the requirements of the supply chain
- 1.1 Components of the supply chain are identified and their links and inter-relationships are analysed in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
- 1.2 Communication, data access, information sharing and technology requirements for an integrated supply chain are determined
- 1.3 Requirements for collaborative planning, forecasting and tailored supply chains are identified
- 1.4 Supply chain requirements are documented in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
2Determine a strategy for supply chain management
- 2.1 Strategies for the supply chain are determined that cover outsourcing, choice of suppliers and partners, reshaping contractual relationships and the performance of the entire supply chain rather than individual supply chain segments
- 2.2 Strategy includes matching supplier capability to customer requirements including strategies to optimise electronic information sharing and inventory risk management and minimise environmental impacts
- 2.3 Strategies to build effective customer supplier relationships are identified
- 2.4 Performance management strategies include customer satisfaction requirements across the supply chain continuum
- 2.5 Supply chain management strategy includes strategic alliances, electronic business and electronic data interchange
- 2.6 Strategy addresses legal, ethical, environmental and security issues relating to supply chain management
- 2.7 Strategy includes the integration of supply chain processes into existing business processes
3Develop a model for supply chain management
- 3.1 Supply chain management options are researched, and strengths and weaknesses of each option are identified
- 3.2 Supply chain management models are investigated and their requirements are analysed and compared with the capability and culture of the supply chain
- 3.3 Model for supply chain management is developed that meets the needs of the organisation including information flow, collaborative planning and forecasting in accordance with the organisation's supply chain management strategy
- 3.4 Supply chain management model is developed to support reduced inventory footprints, operating costs, faster cycle times and greater customer satisfaction rates

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
analyse supply chain requirements
identify the requirements for plans and adjust them as necessary to ensure effective and efficient performance
initiate and efficiently monitor processes
initiate any remedial action required
communicate with stakeholders
prepare and provide relevant reports and documentation
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
