Organise road transport operations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to organise logistics road transport operations in a deployed context in support of operations, in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

The application of this unit in the workplace includes planning road transport, and managing the delivery of road transport services including distributing material and supplies to sustain a deployed operation and to perform passenger transport.

This unit is applicable to logistics personnel responsible for organising and managing the delivery of road transport support in a deployment context.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Prepare for transport operations

1.1

1.2

Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and transport tasks are planned to align with these constraints

1.3

Considerations for planning vehicle movement and tasking are applied to derive most efficient employment of transport assets and personnel

1.4

Logistics information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate transport support operations and to inform decision making process

1.5

Transport requests are received and analysed, and transport plan is developed

managing at least two different road transport operations such as replenishment operations and passenger transport

managing own planning tasks in accordance with organisational requirements

moving forward despite task difficulty

undertaking analysis to determine where internal and external factors impact on transport support requirements

using appropriate information technology and software.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

environmental considerations for planning transport support

fatigue management

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations, current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
