Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Analyse logistics requirement
2. Operational requirement is analysed to establish logistics support scope and intent
3. Operating environment is identified and analysed to assess logistics support effect on delivery
4. Operating environment infrastructure is analysed to identify its potential to support logistics operations and/or vulnerabilities that require consideration in planning
5. Risks to logistics support delivery are identified and analysed to determine their likelihood of occurrence and potential consequences for logistics operation
6. Critical facts and assumptions are made to allow planning to progress in absence of developed current situational knowledge
7. Specialist logistics requirements are determined so that the different logistic element estimates are developed and considered in operational sustainability requirements
8. Logistics capabilities are analysed against operational requirements to identify critical shortfalls and/or define logistic support limits
9. Logistics planning information is communicated to other planning staff and management throughout the operation
10. Develop logistics plan
11. Logistics information management systems are utilised to compile and analyse planning data and information
12. Options are developed, analysed and tested to establish broad advantages and disadvantages
13. Tasks, priorities, and decisive points are identified and validated
14. Preferred course of action is identified
15. Integration of contracted support is considered for inclusion in plan
16. Policy and procedures are developed to support logistics activity within operational area of deployment
17. Logistics organisational structure is developed to meet estimates within organisational resource constraints
18. Control arrangements are established within operational command and management framework
19. Logistics plan is developed to support implementation of selected course of action
    • Plan is adjusted in accordance with changing operational need
    • Contingency plans are developed
    • Logistics plan is communicated to stakeholders

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions can be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

analysing and validating numerical information accurately analysing task complexities applying a broad range of problem-solving strategies to planning outcomes identifying operational intent and recognising how own planning contributes to mission success interpreting instructions and applying this to developing own actions and tasks interpreting technical policy and doctrine making informed decisions that align with organisational requirements moving forward despite planning task difficulty preparing and issuing written instructions reading and writing at a level to cope with a range of complex workplace materials undertaking analysis to determine where internal and external factors impact on logistics support requirements using appropriate information technology and software using organisational skills to manage planning tasks in concert with other stakeholders using planning tools working cooperatively as a member of a team.
