Description

Objective:

LOG 2040 (Configuration Management) teaches professionals about the interrelationship of configuration management to life cycle activities as well as configuration management concepts and basic practices such as configuration identification, configuration status accounting, configuration verification and audit, configuration change management, data management, and configuration planning and management. The course provides an overview of capabilities to design, develop, implement, oversee, and operate a configuration management program across the system life cycle. Professionals will gain knowledge of the application and impacts on configuration management by current and emerging issues such as total life cycle systems management, product data management, item unique identification, evolutionary acquisition, performance-based logistics, condition-based maintenance, and diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages.

LOG 2150 (Technical Data Management) provides on-the-job methods, tools and processes to manage the technical data from the development of a weapon system to sustainment. Course includes hands-on simulations, videos, and lessons learned to enable you to perform the work tasks/duties for proper technical data management across the Adaptive Acquisition Framework pathways.

LOG 0580 (Standards, Specifications & Technical Publications) provides a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of standards, specifications, and technical publications based on Department of Defense policy, guidance, processes, procedures, and best business practices from across the four Services and industry throughout the product life cycle. The content in this course is based on Department of Defense policy, guidance, processes, procedures, and best business practices from across the four Services and industry throughout the product life cycle.
