Application
This unit requires application of competencies required to apply ILS procedures in the assessment of spares and the management of repairable items. Applications include aircraft and mechanical and avionic items of aeronautical product. |
Prerequisites
Use computers in aviation maintenance-related integrated logistic support activities |
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Perform spares assessment activities | 1.1. Enterprise spares assessment and supply information systems are identified and applied 1.2. Maintenance data, spares usage data and trends are monitored and required holdings of spares are varied, as required 1.3. Spares availability problems are identified and strategies are determined to resolve the problems 1.4. Where applicable, suitable substitute parts are identified and necessary engineering approvals obtained in accordance with applicable regulations, organisational policy and procedures 1.5. Acceptable sources of substitute parts are identified and requirements for documentation, such as certification reports and release notes, are specified in accordance with regulatory requirements, organisational policy and procedures 1.6. Configuration management requirements are observed in spares assessing 1.7. Data required for input to ILS records is provided where applicable |
2. Manage repairable items | 2.1. Maintenance and reliability data is monitored and changes to maintenance programs are proposed, where necessary 2.2. Documentation is raised to allocate repairable items to maintenance facilities in accordance with contractual requirements, organisational policy and procedures 2.3. Any specific investigation or additional maintenance requirements are specified 2.4. Data required for input to ILS records is provided, where applicable |
Required Skills
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: using software packages relevant to spares assessing and repairable item management oral communication written communication problem solving application of regulatory and procedural requirements identification and resolution of problems relating to availability of spares |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: ILS principles relating to spares assessing, repairable item management and configuration management software packages used by the enterprise for spares assessment, supply management and repairable item management use of drawings, standards and specifications to identify substitute piece parts and materials use of catalogues and specifications to identify substitute components (items of aeronautical product) regulations, organisational policies and procedures relating to spares assessment and repairable item management OHS requirements relating to substitute piece parts, materials and components fraud and ethics |
Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to effectively apply organisational procedures and ILS principles relating to the assessment of spares and the management of repairable items. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. |
