Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Identify materials requirements
   • Drawings and specifications for vessel and equipment are read and interpreted to determine materials requirements
   • Sources of product supply are identified
   • Normal quantity supply and matching storage facilities and equipment are identified
   • Safety data sheets (SDS)/material safety data sheets (MSDS) or other supplier information are read, any relevant engineering controls or personal protection equipment are identified and any additional resources required for handling and storing materials are documented
   • Procedures to deal with fire or explosion risk, spills or injury are identified and recorded
2. Plan inventory levels
   • Estimates are calculated according to specification requirements and organisational procedures
   • Cost reports are prepared
   • Estimates that meet the initial requirements are documented
   • Estimates are authorised by appropriate personnel for implementation
3. Monitor receipt and dispatch of goods
   • Organisational procedures are implemented in the receipt, dispatch and secure storage of materials
   • Materials are inspected for quality and quantity on receipt
   • Variation to quantity and quality of delivered materials is acted upon according to organisational procedures
   • Safe handling and storage of materials is supervised according to organisational procedures
   • All information is formatted and entered into inventory system according to organisational procedures and system requirements
4. Manage stock control
   • Organisational procedures are implemented for stock control and inventories
   • Procedures are established and implemented to monitor and control stock levels
   • Stock levels are monitored and maintained at required levels
   • Stock reorder cycles are maintained and adjusted as required
   • Stocktaking procedures are established and implemented
   • Contingency plans for stock delivery times are established and implemented
   • Accurate reports on stock inventories are prepared
   • Stock discrepancies are identified and recorded

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria the required skills and knowledge the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements Performance Criteria Required Skills Required Knowledge and include accurately forecasting inventory demand planning for inventory required to meet special events or contingencies
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts Resources for assessment include access to industryapproved marine operations site where managing stores for planned maintenance system can be conducted tools equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities range of relevant exercises case studies andor other simulated practical and knowledge assessments appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace In both real and simulated environments access is required to relevant and appropriate materials and equipment applicable documentation including workplace procedures regulations codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment	Practical assessment must occur in an appropriately simulated workplace environment andor appropriate range of situations in the workplace A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate to this unit direct observation of the candidate managing stores for planned maintenance system direct observation of the candidate applying relevant WHSOHS requirements and work practices
Guidance information for assessment	Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended In all cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess Required Knowledge Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language and literacy requirements of the work being performed and the capacity of the candidate
