Contribute to materiel logistics strategies

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit was developed for logistics specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.

Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to 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.

This unit cannot be used in a qualification in which TLIX6001A Formulate materiel logistics strategies has been used.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to provide input to the development of materiel logistics strategies by employees, or others, who are not directly responsible for the development process itself. It includes contributions to the consultative, validation and review phases and the provision of feedback on the process. Materiel systems are a composite of equipment, skills and techniques capable of performing or supporting an operational role, or both. A complete materiel system includes all equipment, related facilities, materiel, software, services and personnel required for its operation and support, to the degree that it can be considered self-sufficient in its intended operational environment. Materiel logistics is the life cycle management of materiel to achieve the stated objectives of the capability managers. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
