Structure & Format

• Current LOG 101 has 16 modules:– Lesson 1: Acquisition Logistics Management - Lesson 9: Supply Support– Lesson 2: Systems Engineering & Logistics - Lesson 10: Support Equipment– Lesson 3: Supportability Analysis - Lesson 11: Facilities– Lesson 4: LCC Management - Lesson 12: Technical Data– Lesson 5: Sustainment Logistics - Lesson 13: PHS&T– Lesson 6: Contractor Support - Lesson 14: Manpower, Personnel, Training– Lesson 7: Maintenance Planning - Lesson 15: Acquisition Strategies– Lesson 8: Computer Resources Support - Lesson 16: Interface with Contracting

• Note: See “Backup” for TLOs

• Major areas of “concern”:– 3 generations of DoD 5000 series and CJCS 3170 series behind!!– Numerous policy changes (KPPs, IUID, LCSP, data mgmt, tech readiness, etc)– “Stovepiped” presentation of modules– Some redundancy with newer LOG and ACQ courses (i.e. LOG 102 and ACQ 101)

“New” LOG 101

• Goal: The student will understand the role of acquisition logistics in the defense acquisition system and be familiar with the integrated processes that ensure a system is designed for supportability and the support elements are acquired and provided to the customer.

PLD Assessment

• New LOG 101 can’t get here quick enough:– Programming is now fully funded ($300K +)– Latest DoD 5000, CJCS 3170 and DAG changes are included– Student pilot scheduled for Feb 2010

• Currently running 5 sections:– Expect to maintain 5 sections (300 students per section)– Each region will administer 1 section– All region CMRRs will participate in the student pilot

• LOG 101 needs consistent attention:– Covers a broad range of acquisition logistics competencies– Susceptible to changes in DoD policy– Foundational logistics course – possible certification course for other

career fields18
