Implement and monitor configuration management plans

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit was developed for configuration management specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to any individual in broader logistic roles.

Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to implement and monitor configuration management plans, including adjusting current and future activity, amending plans, acquiring resources, liaising with stakeholders and providing associated reports. Configuration management is a discipline applying technical and administrative direction and surveillance to: identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of a configuration item, control changes to those characteristics, and record and report change processing and implementation status. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
