Description

Objective:

The course objective is to provide students with a broad overview of the role of acquisition logistics in the systems acquisition life cycle and systems engineering processes. Modules cover the logistics-relevant aspects of requirements identification, life-cycle costing, integrated product and process development, product support including supportability in system design and supportability analysis, sustainment logistics including logistics processes, life cycle sustainment plan, management tools, and management functions and processes.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe acquisition logistics and describe the roles and responsibilities the life cycle logistician performs on the acquisition team to ensure system supportability and affordability
  • Describe the basic elements of supportability and recognize how the elements of supportability are incorporated in the system design
  • Define common elements of logistics support and related logistics processes in an effective and affordable product support plan
  • Describe the sources for operational support requirements and other logistics considerations
  • Recognize the key components of product support development that produce a support solution based on the system design
  • Identify various management tools and processes that are performed or supported in acquisition logistics to conduct supportability planning and development
  • Identify the management functions and processes that are performed or supported in acquisition logistics that lead to effective and efficient program management
