Actions & StatusActions & Status

• FIPT Endorsed LOG 204 Migration to Distance Learning (DL) Format: Oct 04

• Content Revision & Conversion: May-Sep 05

• Content Clean-up & Lesson Mapping: Oct-Nov 05

• DL Conversion: Dec 05 – May 06

• Instructor/Student Pilot: 17-20 Apr 06

• Scheduled DL Course Deployment: 5 May 06

• Successes– Cross-Disciplinary Systems Engineering/Logistics Collaboration & SME Participation– LOG FIPT Endorsed LOG 204 as “Desired” Level II Certification Course – Jun 05– Significant Student Throughput Increase Anticipated as SE DAWIA Certification

Course

• Issues– FY05/06 Funding Constraints Deferred Interactivity, Flash/Video Lesson Introductions,

& Lesson Exercises– FY07 Funding for Spiral Update to Content & to Incorporate new Functionalities– Decision on Life Cycle Logistics Certification vs. Assignment Specific Course

Revised & Expanded ContentRevised & Expanded Content

• Expanded Linkage to DoDD 5000.1, DAG (Both Ch. 4 & 5), and PBL Guide

• Expanded Focus on DoD, Industry, & Shared Roles/Responsibilities Under PBL

• Expanded Systems Engineering Focus

• Expanded Emphasis on Commercial Standards & Handbooks– ANSI/GEIA EIA-649-A National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management – GEIA-HB-649 Implementation Guide for Configuration Management– ANSI/GEIA GEIA-859-2004 Data Management– ANSI/GEIA EIA-836-2002 Configuration Management - Data Exchange &

Interoperability– ISO 10007 Quality management systems - Guidelines for configuration management

• Expanded Data Management-Configuration Management Linkage– Including Data Rights, Product Data Management & Integrated Data Environment

• Expanded Emphasis on CM Implications of Current Issues & Initiatives– Knowledge-Enabled Logistics/Sense & Respond Logistics– Unique Item Identification (UID)– Condition Based Maintenance (CBM)/ Prognostics & Health Management (PHM)– Evolutionary Acquisition– CM for Commercial and Non-Developmental Items (COTS/NDI)– Diminishing Manufacturing Sources & Material Shortages (DMSMS)
