Unit of Competency TLIX5037A - Plan logistic support for deployed operations
Description This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan logistic support for deployed elements of an organisation in support of organisational operations. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency is applicable to logistic personnel who have a responsibility to organise the delivery of logistic support in a deployed context. This person will typically plan logistic support for a relatively simple operation. This type of operation would enable planning to be completed by an individual as opposed to a significant operation where planning is usually completed by a team of professionals and operational control is at the highest level of the organisation.This person will bring management skills and leadership to perform the scope of this unit of competency. Logistic support may be comprised of a range of capabilities from different disciplines including road transport, supply, maintenance, catering or health. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Analyse the logistic requirement
  • Operational requirement is analysed in order to establish the scope and intent of logistic support
  • Operating environment is identified and information is sought to establish the operating and logistic factors relating to the operation
  • Limitations and constraints are determined in order to establish what courses of actions are feasible and realistic
  • Critical facts and assumptions are made in order to allow planning to progress in the absence of developed knowledge of the current situation
       
Element: Analyse risks to logistic support
  • Risk analysis is conducted to identify and mitigate against unacceptable risks in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
  • Liaison with agencies involved in the operation's logistic is undertaken to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
  • Local population and organisations in the operating area are analysed to identify any possible disruption to logistic support
       
Element: Develop the logistic plan
  • Logistic situation is reviewed to inform planning
  • Planning timeline is prepared to guide planning activities and to ensure sufficient time is allowed to disseminate information and subsequent preparation of personnel and equipment
  • Logistic concept is created and based upon the analysis and the principles of logistic, operational suitability, feasibility and acceptance by management
  • Logistic plan is developed in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
  • Plan is adjusted in accordance with changing operational need
  • Contingency plans are developed
  • Logistic plan is communicated to stakeholders

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

Limitations and constraints may include:

restrictions imposed by management

restrictions on movement

access to ports, loading areas, lifting equipment

access to resupply of fuel, water, food

the requirement to maintain a reserve of capacity or capability

quarantine restriction

Critical facts and assumptions may include:

composition of own resources

location and condition of key equipment

load capability of roads

distance

turnaround time

availability of local resources

Operating environment may include:

the terrain and climate
