Qualification -
Unit of Competency TLIX5042A - Organise road transport operations
Description This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to organise logistics road transport operations in a deployed context 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 The application of this unit in the workplace includes planning road transport, and managing the delivery road transport services including the distribution of material and supplies to sustain a deployed operation and to perform passenger transport.This unit of competency is applicable to logistic personnel who have a responsibility to organise and manage the delivery of road transport support in a deployed context.This person will bring management skills and leadership to perform the scope of this unit of competency. Road transport teams may be comprised of a range of transport assets which when brought together form a comprehensive road transport support organisation. The composition of the road transport team will be guided by the type and scale of operation being supported. 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: Prepare for transport operations
  • Operational requirement is analysed in order to establish the scope of transport support
  • Operational or organisational constraints are recognised and transport tasks are planned to align with these constraints
  • The considerations of planning vehicle movement and tasking are applied to derive the most efficient employment of transport assets and personnel
  • Logistic information systems are utilised to monitor and coordinate transport support operations and to inform the decision making process
  • Transport requests are received and analysed and a transport plan is developed
  • Occupational health and safety (OH&S) requirements and recognised safety precautions are applied throughout the operation in accordance with standard procedures
       
Element: Select transport route
  • Route is planned according to the route distance, geography, operational and technical considerations
  • Route reconnaissance is conducted to gather route information and to assist in transport planning
  • Transport route and plan are adjusted in accordance with changing circumstances and information
       
Element: Provide transport operations
  • The delivery of transport support is managed to meet the demands of the operation
  • Personnel are supervised and efficiently and effectively employed
  • Fatigue management strategies are applied to ensure vehicles are operated by rested and alert drivers
  • The preparation, movement and use of vehicles is monitored to ensure road transport is conducted with appropriate authority and effectively employed in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
  • The maintenance integrity of transport assets is monitored to ensure assets are available for support tasks
  • Liaison with agencies involved in the operation is carried out to ensure the most effective coordination of effort
  • Management and stakeholders are advised when significant issues or developments arise that may adversely impact on the operation
  • Records are maintained and entered into information systems
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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 and include:

the management of at least two different road transport operations such as replenishment operations and passenger transport

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:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

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 written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS

This describes the essential knowledge and skills and their level required for this unit.

Required knowledge:

Logistic concepts

Specialist knowledge of the organisation, function and logistic capabilities

Organisational policy and procedure pertaining to road transport

Regulatory and standards requirements pertaining to road transport

Logistic analysis principles and processes

Vehicle and transport equipment capabilities and limitations

Environment considerations in planning transport support

Organisational writing conventions

Planning process

Fatigue management

Replenishment operations

Passenger transport operations

Required skills:

Interpret instructions and apply to actions and tasks

Draft and release complex forms of written communication

Use problem-solving skills to apply a broad range of problem-solving strategies

Analyse the complexities of a task such as limitations, freedoms, vulnerabilities, time limitations

Undertake analysis to determine where internal and external factors impact on the transport support requirements

Use numeracy skills to accurately analyse and validate information

Use organisational skills to manage own planning tasks in concert with organisational requirements

Interpret policies and procedures

Make decisive, informed decisions that align with organisational requirements

Move forward despite the difficulty of the task

Use appropriate information technology and software

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

The considerations when planning vehicle movement and tasking may include:

vehicle availability

vehicle types

route

route capacity

road network

support vehicles

method of operation

method of movement

time

tactical situation

terrain

climate

driver availability

use of vehicle capacity

loads to be carried, including compatibility issues in regard to dangerous goods and/or ammunitions

handling of loads

Route information may include:

harbour and staging areas

likely long halt locations and reporting points

other potential routes

obstacles

assembly areas, including laying up points and turnaround areas

driving time and condition between points

bridges, fords, waterways, tunnels and culverts

road width and capacity

likely effect of weather conditions en route

state of repair or construction en route

critical points

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
