This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to evaluate failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) in a defence integrated logistics environment.

FMECA is a bottom-up, inductive analytical method which may be performed at either the functional or piece-part level. The result highlights failure modes with relatively high probability and severity of consequences, allowing remedial effort to be directed where it will produce the greatest value, and to inform the safety case for the asset.

It includes identifying source data, establishing and maintaining baselines for logistics support analysis (LSA), revising LSA data and documenting FMECA and related analyses.

This unit is appropriate for technical specialists supporting integrated logistics functions. Typically, these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work independently or as part of a team under indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant policy and organisational procedures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
