Establish supply chains

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit was developed for materiel logisticians 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 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.

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