Description

Objective:

The course objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of Logistics Sustainment Management principles and fundamentals including the roles, responsibilities and functions of a Logistician assigned to a major weapon systems acquisition program. The course explains the role of Life Cycle Logistician during sustainment phase of a weapon system's life cycle; identifies concepts, policies, and practices of logistics/supply chain management as they apply to new and legacy systems during sustainment phase of their respective life cycles; identifies best practices in developing and implementing Performance Based Logistics support; explains Materiel Availability, Materiel reliability, and Mean Down Time principles, relates the principles contained in recent DoD guidance with regard to Logistics Sustainment Enablers; and explains the concepts of Systems Sustainment as described by DoDI 5000.02.
