Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to monitor transport operations and identify and report issues and possible improvements. It requires knowledge of transport strategies and methods for local, national and international contexts and regulatory requirements and organisational requirements. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Determine transport requirements
- 1.1 Organisational transport operations arrangements are accessed
- 1.2 Benefits and limitations of the organisations transportation modes are identified
- 1.3 The extent of in-house and outsourced transportation methods are confirmed
- 1.4 Cost benefits and customer service level between in-house and outsourced transportation methods are evaluated
- 1.5 Applicable legislative requirements are identified
2Monitor unit loads and load building
- 2.1 Advantages and limitations of the available transport equipment and unit loads are determined
- 2.2 Transport mode options are analysed to determine organisational load application, efficiency and effectiveness
- 2.3 Unit loads and load building are monitored for compliance with legislative requirements and organisational policies and procedures
- 2.4 Issues or non-compliant practices are reported, according to organisational policies and procedures
3Examine transport security requirements
- 3.1 Transport security risks are identified
- 3.2 Security contingencies are determined for use within the transport sector
- 3.3 Security breaches are reported and recommendations are made regarding security improvements, in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
4Analyse transport costing
- 4.1 Statistical operational data is identified, to measure transport effectiveness
- 4.2 Organisations data capturing procedure is used in the management of transport, route planning and load building
- 4.3 Transport cost is analysed according to the organisational cost considerations
- 4.4 Transport performance effectiveness is measured
- 4.5 Transport cost elements, pricing and operating costs are evaluated, and recommendations are made regarding cost efficiencies where possible
- 4.6 Findings are reported according to organisational policies and procedures
