Apply knowledge of logistics

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit was developed for emerging logistics specialists who need an understanding of the functions and activities of the wider organisation but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.

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 analyse and apply knowledge of logistics. The application of this knowledge is required by people who are not currently specialists in the field but need the knowledge to inform their decision making. The application of logistics knowledge is specific to a variety of component processes in logistical activities including the logistics support to operations, logistics support to capability and the application of logistics systems. 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)
