Infrastructure includes items such as runways, roads, car parks, parade grounds, ovals, lighting, water, sewerage and other general service related items.

Inventory Inventory is comprised of consumable stores and supplies, fuel and explosive ordnance used in the delivery of Defence services. These are items which are consumed in normal use, lose their identity during periods of use by incorporation into, or attachment upon, another assembly, as a result of wear and tear, cannot be reconditioned because their design does not make it possible or their specific values do not justify it.

Operating result Equals revenue less expense.

346 DEFENCE ANNUAL REPORT 2007-08 VOLUME 1

GLOSSARY

Operational tempo

The rate at which the ADF is able to deliver its operations effects, for example, the rate at which forces are dispatched and the time in which they are turned around for their next task. At the local level, this might translate to the crew of an aircraft spending a very small amount of time on the ground before it is re-tasked for its next mission. At the organisational level, this translates to available fighting forces spending very little time at home before they are deployed again for their next operation.

Outcomes The results that the Government seeks from Defence, and are achieved by the successful delivery of its outputs, to the standards set in the Portfolio Budget Statements. For more information, see Chapter Six – Planned Outcome Performance in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2008-09.

Output The product or service produced by Defence on behalf of government for external organisations or individuals. For more information, see Chapter Six – Planned Outcome Performance in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2008-09.

Quality One of the three key efficiency indicators. Relates to the characteristics by which customers or stakeholders judge an organisation, product or service. Assessment of quality involves use of information gathered from interested parties to identify differences between user's expectations and experiences.

Quantity One of the three key efficiency indicators. Examples include: the size of an output; count or volume measures; how many or how much.

Readiness The readiness of forces to be committed to operations within a specified time, dependent on the availability and proficiency of personnel, equipment, facilities and consumables.

DEFENCE ANNUAL REPORT 2007-08 VOLUME 1 347

GLOSSARY

Risk management At the highest level, involves the identification and mitigation of those risks that have the potential to adversely affect the achievement of agreed output performance at the agreed output price.

Special account Balances existing within the Consolidated Revenue Fund, that are supported by standing appropriations (Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997, ss.20 and 21). Special accounts allow money in the Consolidated Revenue Fund to be acknowledged as set-aside (hypothecated) for a particular purpose. Amounts credited to a Special Account may only be spent for the purposes of the Special Account. Special Accounts can only be established by a written determination of the Finance Minister (s.20 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997) or through an Act of Parliament (referred to in s.21 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997).

Special Appropriations (including Standing Appropriations)

An amount of money appropriated by a particular Act of Parliament for a specific purpose and number of years. For special appropriations the authority to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund does not generally cease at the end of the financial year. Standing appropriations are a sub-category consisting of ongoing special appropriations — the amount appropriated will depend on circumstances specified in the legislation.

Specialist military equipment

The process by which major capital investment proposals are developed for consideration and approval by the Government.

Unit ready days The number of days that a force element is available for tasking, by the Maritime commander, either outside of major maintenance and within planned readiness requirements, or in accordance with contracted availability. Planned unit ready days are determined for each Force Element Group by aggregating total days for the unit in commission, less all days when the unit is programmed to be in major maintenance and conducting associated pre-workup (preparations for initial operational training) or based on the total number of days the force element is contracted to be available to Defence. Contracted availability applies to the Armidale class patrol boats and may apply to other classes in the future.

Weighted average cost

An inventory valuation method which considers the fluctuating prices and quantities of acquired goods in computing of the cost of inventory. The weighted average method takes the prices of units at the beginning inventory and the varying prices of purchases made and are weighted by the number of units to determine the weighted average cost per unit. It may be computed as the weighted average cost of all available goods present in a given period, or as a weighted moving average cost adjusted when new goods are delivered.

Write-downs The reduction in the value of assets.
