Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to prepare for materiel sustainment operations, to manage those operations throughout the materiel life cycle and to report on those operations in the organisational environment. 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. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes

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.
Sources of information may include:
conceptual documents
contractors
legislation
managers
peers
plans
policies
publications
reference material
standards
supervisors
suppliers
Materiel sustainment may include:
the management and provision of products and services needed to meet the preparedness and performance requirements of a materiel system from the time of acceptance into operational service until disposal at minimised life cycle cost. Material sustainment may also be referred to as asset management and includes components of: sustainment management, engineering support, maintenance support, supply support and planning for disposal and/or carrying out end of life tasks
Organisational policy and procedures may include:
Australian Standards
international standards
logistics support analysis
organisational instructions and standards
through life support
Stakeholders may include:
capability manager
contractors
customers
project managers
regulators
regulatory authorities
subordinates
supervisors
suppliers
team members
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
Logistics support analysis is:
the process for identifying and analysing the functional supportability requirements consistent with the goals of the integrated logistic support program. Logistics support analysis also describes the process for the coordinated development of logistics related task data, and the processing of that data to define logistics resource requirements. Logistics support analysis defines the analytical process for the preparation for in-service support and disposal, and the interface with Supportability Assessments (Supportability Test and Evaluation)
Key performance indicators may include:
costs
milestones
production
resources
scheduling
timings
Costing may include:
labour
life cycle costs
money
outlay of expenditure
resources
time
Legislative requirements 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 certification requirements
Promulgated may include:
authorised
documented
endorsed
issued
published
