Identify and monitor the use of logistics resources

​

This standard is about identifying and monitoring the use of logistics resources, including identifying the appropriate resources, and planning how to use them. It also includes monitoring resource use to improve performance. This could involve monitoring environmental resources and recycling.

This standard is relevant to all operatives at every level in logistics operations. Operatives could, for example, be working in warehousing and storage, transport offices or freight forwarding. The standard could apply to those who look after a number of staff and have line manager responsibility.
