Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage train planning. It includes preparing to manage train planning, and developing and implementing strategies to optimise train planning. Licensing, legislative or certification requirements are not applicable to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to manage train planning
- 1.1 Goals of train planning are identified and explained
- 1.2 Principal factors involved in train planning are identified and outlined
- 1.3 Resources required for train planning are identified, explained and obtained
- 1.4 Methods by which train planning performance can be measured are identified and implemented
2 Develop and implement strategies to optimise train planning
- 2.1 Factors that contribute to optimal train planning are identified and explained
- 2.2 Strategies for ensuring optimal train planning is maintained are developed and implemented
- 2.3 Methods by which optimal train planning performance can be measured are developed and applied
- 2.4 Strategies are communicated to relevant personnel
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
Train planning factors may include:
crew management
infrastructure constraints
location of fleet during and after peak times
locomotive availability
maintenance schedules
network capacity
optimal departure and arrival times
personnel availability
physical network
resource needs and availability
rolling stock availability
track access requirements
train availability
train services

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 competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include demonstration of applying:
required knowledge and skills
relevant legislation and workplace procedures
other relevant aspects of the range statement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Performance is demonstrated consistently over time and in a suitable range of contexts.
Resources for assessment include access to:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
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
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.
