Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to prepare for integrated logistics support operations, to manage those operations throughout the materiel life cycle and to report on those operations in the organisational environment. This unit was developed for integrated logistics support specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to individuals in broader logistics roles. Typically these individuals work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |

Assessment Conditions
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 computer and relevant software legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to integrated logistic support integrated logistics support plans. |
