Description

Objective:

The course objective is to offer a deep understanding of DoD Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation (PHS&T) policies and procedures. Developed for both the Defense acquisition and sustainment communities, students will gain perspective on integrating PHS&T requirements into the system design and supporting infrastructure. The PHS&T Credential provides both a technical foundation for the proper performance of PHS&T and a management perspective to effectively engage and oversee the numerous stakeholders involved in PHS&T activities. With this credential, acquire the technical expertise and managerial insights essential for safeguarding and delivering military material effectively throughout its life cycle.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe how PHS&T integrates and impacts other Product Support Elements, program functional activities, and program acquisition deliverables during each life cycle phase
  • Identify DoD organization and commercial jurisdictions, key stakeholders and providers that determine communities of practice, policy & guidelines, requirements, business rules and processes for each area of PHS&T
  • Apply product packaging considerations, i.e. protection, labeling & identification, customer safety, storability, transportability, and reutilization of packaging, shipping containers and pallets
  • Apply correct handling processes, methods, tools and support equipment relevant to each class of supply
  • Implement infrastructure, processes and requirements for categories of storage service to include interim custody and protection, materials handling, and special storage situations
  • Determine how to identify, plan, and minimize shelf-life requirements in the development and support of systems
  • Implement transportation and transportability requirements, plans, support infrastructure, liaison with stakeholders and special transportation considerations to safely transport items in all supply classes to intended destinations
  • Determine how systems design impacts PHS&T in the performance-based outcome environment to optimize systems strategy, design, and development using performance and metric criteria that target PHS&T readiness and affordability
