TLIX5005A - Manage integrated logistics support operations

TLIX5005A
Manage integrated logistics support operations

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. Integrated logistics support is a disciplined and iterative approach to materiel management, which addresses supportability throughout the life cycle of a materiel system, with the aim of ensuring operational and preparedness requirements are met, at a minimised life cycle cost, with regulatory, legislative and contractual constraints. 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. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.

Application

This unit was developed for integrated logistics support specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to any individual in broader logistic roles.

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.
