9. Structure & Format • LOG 200 has 6 modules: • Module 1: Define Supportability Objectives • Module 2: Evaluate Product Support Capabilities • Module 3: Develop Initial Product Support Strategy • Module 4: Product Support Plan • Module 5: Demonstrate Product Support Capability • Module 6: Cost Estimating / Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution System (PPBE) • Lessons within each module (except Module 6): • Regulatory Environment • Oversight and Review • Management Processes • Technical Activities • Metrics

10. Module One 1. Define Supportability Objectives • TLOs: • Identify the key policies, regulations, and guidance that influence • the definition of supportability objectives and how they apply to the • life cycle logistician • Differentiate between the roles of the program manager’s office and other • organizations and/or groups in the process of defining supportability objectives • Identify the LCL’s role in the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development • System (JCIDS) process in developing support strategy goals and documentation • Identify the technical activities the Life Cycle Logistician will have to perform to • define the supportability objectives • Identify the various metrics that affect the definition of supportability objectives • and how they are used

11. Module Two 2. Evaluate Product Support Capabilities • TLOs: • Identify how the key policies, regulations, and guidance influence the evaluation of • product support capabilities • Differentiate between the roles of the program manager’s office and other • stakeholders in evaluating product support capabilities • Identify the LCL’s role in the management processes associated with evaluating • product support capabilities that include: • analysis of support alternatives • systems operational effectiveness (SOE) • market research • Identify the LCL’s role in the technical activities associated with evaluating product • support capabilities, including systems engineering, transitioning JCTDs, and ensuring • open systems/interoperability • Identify life cycle sustainment metrics that will be used in the evaluation of product • support capabilities

12. Module Three 3. Develop Initial Product Support Strategy • TLOs: • Identify the key policies, regulations, and guidance that influence the development of • product support strategy, and how they apply • Differentiate between the roles of the program manager’s office and/or groups in • developing the initial product support strategy • Identify the LCL’s role in the management processes associated with developing the initial • product support strategy, to include: • Preparing or assessing logistics requirements in the Capability Development Document • (CDD) • Defining logistics test points in the TEMP • Integrating the initial product support strategy with the acquisition strategy • Identify the LCL’s role in the technical activities associated with developing initial product • support strategies, to include: using modeling and simulation to reduce technology risk • and increasing reliability and maintainability • Identify life cycle metrics and how they are used during the Technology Development Phase

13. Module Four 4. Product Support Plan • TLOs: • Identify the key policies, regulations, and guidance that influence the creation of a Life Cycle • Sustainment Plan (LCSP), and how they apply to the Life Cycle Logistician • Differentiate between the roles of the program manager, LCL and other individuals and/or • organizations in creating a LCSP • Identify the LCL’s role in the management processes associated with developing a LCSP • Identify the LCL’s role in the technical activities associated with developing a LCSP, including • the Sustainment Implementation Plan • Identify the metrics considerations that guide the process of defining the metrics used in • the Life Cycle Sustainment Plan

14. Module Five 5. Demonstrate Product Support Capability • TLOs: • Identify the key policies, regulations, and guidance that influence the demonstration of • planned product support capability • Differentiate between the roles of the program manager (PM), life cycle logistician (LCL) and • other individuals and/or organizations in the process of demonstrating product support • capabilities • Identify the management processes the life cycle logistician (LCL) uses when demonstrating • product support capability, including fully defining/refining the product support strategy and • refining logistics test points in the Test and Evaluation Master Plan • Identify the technical activities associated with demonstrating product support capability, • including collecting and evaluating system performance, cost and maintenance data to • determine the need for changes to system configuration; and demonstrating acceptable • interoperability and operational supportability • Identify the kinds of metrics that are defined and used during demonstration of planned • product support capabilities

15. Module Six 6. Cost Estimating/PPBE • TLOs: • Identify the techniques available to the Life Cycle Logistician (LCL) in cost estimating for logistics • funding requirements • Recognize the PPBE process as the source of financial resources for the LCL and the importance • of PPBE in every phase of a project life cycle • Describe the Planning Phase of PPBE • Describe the Programming Phase of PPBE • Describe the Budgeting Phase of PPBE • Identify the kinds of PPBE issues an LCL may face with regards to budget funding

16. PLD Assessment • LOG 200 needs ongoing vigilance: • Covers a broad range of acquisition logistics competencies • Highly susceptible to changes in DoD policy • Increasing emphasis on activities early in the acquisition process, especially pre-Milestone A • Requires update in FY 11 • Changes to reflect PPBE cycle changes • Increased emphasis on Affordability/Efficiency • Changes to reflect DTM 10-015 • Changes to reflect new Integrated Product Support Elements (IPS Elements) • Pending JCIDS changes to Ownership Cost KSA • Ability to affect revisions impacted by CR/852 issues
