Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Analyse the requirement
   • Operational task is received and analysed for maintenance requirements
   • Information is sourced and analysed to identify the maintenance factors to be considered in supporting operations
   • Recommendations are provided to management regarding maintenance support and the employment of maintenance capabilities
2. Develop the maintenance plan
   • Logistic information management systems are utilised to compile and analyse maintenance planning data and information
   • Maintenance equipment failure and repair data are used to establish the type and scope of maintenance support required for the deployment
   • Maintenance estimates are produced to support courses of action
   • Maintenance policy and procedure are reviewed and or amended or developed to support the maintenance activity within the operational area of deployment
   • Maintenance organisational structure is developed to meet the maintenance estimates within organisational resource constraints
   • The integration of contracted maintenance support is considered for inclusion in the plan
   • Technical control arrangements are established within the framework of operational command and management
   • Maintenance plan is created in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
   • Risk analysis is conducted against the maintenance plan to identify and mitigate against unacceptable risks
   • Maintenance plan is communicated to stakeholders
3. Integrate the maintenance plan with the logistic plan
   • Liaison with other logistic stakeholders is undertaken to ensure the maintenance plan is integrated into the larger logistic or operational plan
   • Maintenance plan is adjusted in accordance with changing operational need or the need to synchronise with other logistic functions

Evidence Required

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required knowledge and skills the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Competency should be demonstrated on at least one occasion covering the scope of the unit of competence Resources for assessment include access to an 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 and applicable documentation including workplace procedures regulations codes of practice and operation manuals
Method of assessment	Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation As a minimum assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate writtenoral tests Practical assessment must occur through activities in an appropriately simulated environment andor in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
