Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assess spares and manage repairable items in maintenance activities while complying with relevant regulations. There are no specific licensing or certification requirements applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Perform spares assessment activities
- 1.1 Organisation spares assessment and supply information systems are identified and applied
- 1.2 Maintenance data, spares usage data and trends are monitored, and required holdings of spares are varied as required
- 1.3 Spares availability problems are identified and strategies are determined to resolve problems
- 1.4 Acceptable sources of suitable substitute parts are identified and requirements for documentation are specified in accordance with organisational policy and procedures
- 1.5 Configuration management requirements are observed in spares assessing
2Manage repairable items
- 2.1 Maintenance and reliability data is monitored and changes to maintenance programs are proposed where necessary
- 2.2 Documentation is raised to allocate repairable items to maintenance facilities in accordance with contractual requirements, and organisational policy and procedures
- 2.3 Specific investigation or additional maintenance requirements are specified
3Maintain records
- 3.1 Data required for input to integrated logistics support (ILS) records is provided where applicable
- 3.2 Systems, procedures and records associated with documenting performance are managed in accordance with the organisational requirements

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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
Assessment must confirm the ability to:
adhere to relevant occupational health and safety requirements
initiate and efficiently monitor processes
initiate any remedial action required
communicate with stakeholders
prepare and provide relevant reports and documentation
effectively and efficiently manage materiel sustainment operations
Competency should be demonstrated over time and should be observed in a range of actual or simulated work contexts
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment
Access is required to:
computer and relevant software
legislation, guidelines, procedures and protocols relating to spares and repairable items
plans
workplace documentation
Method of assessment
Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation
Where possible, assessment should be supported by questions to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should suit the language and literacy levels of the candidate
Assessment methods should reflect workplace demands such as literacy and the needs of particular groups
Assessment methods suitable for valid and reliable assessment of this unit of competency may include a combination of methods such as:
authenticated evidence from the workplace and/or training programs
case studies
demonstration
feedback from supervisors and peers regarding the candidate's ability
observation
portfolios
projects
questioning
reviews or reports prepared by the candidate
scenarios
simulation or role plays
