Originally roposed FY14 DAWIA Certification Requirements Need to be Tweaked Made Sense at the Time, as it ensured training requirements addressed required competencies and policy/statutory requirements However, the World Continued to Change Rapidly. Must proactively address remaining gaps between logistics competency set and training Urgent need for interdisciplinary integration and alignment across functional domains Increased USD(AT&L) focus on high-priority interdisciplinary cognizance of business acumen, affordability, and earned value management topics Need for greater understanding of contracting, EVM, and O&S cost by life cycle logisticians to successfully develop & execute performance based life cycle product support strategies Current co-mingling of classroom and distance learning course requirements as part of choose one of four option at Level III inadvertently encourages students to default to perceived easiest or least time-consuming option (potentially missing critical skills) Fiscal realities, budgetary pressures, and classroom course TDY travel costs
Original Approach No Longer Viable Need to untangle existing/current choose one of four mix at Level III of distance learning & classroom options RQM 110 Core Concepts for Requirements (Distance Learning Course) LOG 204 Configuration (Distance Learning Course) BCF 215 Operating and Support Cost Analysis (Classroom Course) ACQ 265 Mission-Focused Services (Classroom Course) Risk of New Interdisciplinary Course Requirements Swamping the Boat EVM 101 of Earned Value (Distance Learning Course) CON 121/124/127 Contracting (3 Contracting Distance Learning Courses) LOG/ACQ 215 Technical Data (roposed Distance Learning Course) LOG 211 Supportability Analysis (In-Development Classroom Course) ACQ 315 Business Acumen (In-Development Classroom Course) Inability of original LOG 211 deployment strategy to get there from here Fiscal realities vs. anticipated travel costs Reality that some life cycle logisticians may never use these skills Throughput & demand management issues if Life Cycle, Engineering, and Test & Evaluation each mandated the course Anticipated DAU faculty availability & classroom capacity issues
LOG 211 Supportability Analysis Course Instructor (16-20 Jul 12) & Student ilot (24-28 Sep 12) Unanimous consensus of entire DAU development team that it would be inappropriate to teach a course of this depth, rigor, and detail to entire Life Cycle workforce Recommend instead LOG 211 be targeted at Supportability Analysis ractioners & LCL/SE ersonnel Requiring Cognizance & Insight, and Made Optional as Choose 1 of 4 DAWIA Certification Option Remainder of workforce would still be exposed to Supportability Analysis via CLL 012, CLL 029 CBM+, CLL 030 RCM, CLL 042, and CLL 057/058 LORA continuous learning modules rimary Target Audience Supportability Analysis ractitioners Future SMs, Enterprise Life Cycle Logisticians, Remainder of Engineers Remainder of the Life Cycle Workforce rimary Target Audience Must Have Requires Hands-on Detailed How to Skills Important Audience Should Have Requires Cognizance & Insight into rocesses ossible Audience Could Have Decision Up to Individual & Their Supervisor
Recommended Win-Win Approach for FY14: rovide Student with Options at Both Level II & Level III Add CLC 011 Contracting for the Rest of Us as Level II CL requirement Group distance learning requirements as a Choose One of Five interdisciplinary Level II option EVM 101 of Earned Value (18 hrs.) OR RQM 110 Core Concepts for Requirements (32 hrs.) OR CON 121 Contracting lanning & CON 124 Contracting Execution & CON 127 Contract (Total 36 hrs.) OR LOG 204 Configuration (18 hrs.) OR LOG/ACQ 215 Technical Data (TBD hrs.) (Future) Update existing Level III "Choose One of Four" interdisciplinary Level III option. New choices will be one of following four classroom courses: LOG 211 Supportability Analysis (4.5 days) OR BCF 215 Operating and Support Cost Analysis (4.5 days) OR ACQ 265 Mission-Focused Services (3.5 days) OR ACQ 315 Business Acumen (4.5 days) (Future) Workforce Members, Supervisors, Services, DACMs, and DAU All Benefit

Myriad Benefits of this Approach Logical and Easily Understood Grouping of DL & Classroom Courses Addresses last remaining competencies from 2008 Human Capital Strategy Addresses all known requirements, competency gaps, and leadership focus areas Addresses DACM concerns related to ability of life cycle logistics workforce members to complete level II and Level III training requirements within 24 months Avoids sending LCL members to LOG 211 training that they often would not use Travel cost savings by not mandating every workforce member take LOG 211 Addresses anticipated LOG 211 throughput issues by reducing LCL demand from ~2,100 students/year (70 offerings) to ~500 students/year (17 offerings), while targeting more experienced workforce members pursuing Level III certification roactively anticipates future Engineering demand for LOG 211 Greater supervisor & student flexibility based on individual professional development requirements Facilitates broader interdisciplinary integration both in LCL certification track, as well as making logistics courses more readily available to other career fields otential concern is forecasting demand for classroom courses, however Choose 1 of 4 precedent well established by multiple career fields (LOG, CON, M, & SE)

Students coded as a level III LOG career field registering for one of the courses listed under Functional Training to obtain their certification, they will be coded as Training riority 1. For the non- LOG courses listed in the pick list (ACQ 265, BCF 215, LOG 204, RQM 110); they will be coded as Training riority 1 for the first course that they take. If they choose to take another course on the pick list after having satisfied the certification requirement of completing one of the courses, they will be coded as Training riority 3. Students coded as a level III LOG career field registering for one of the courses listed under Core lus Development Guide, they will be coded as a Training riority 3. For ACQ 265, if they ve already completed one of the other courses on the pick list and decide to take ACQ 265, they will be coded as Training riority 3. artial list of the Core lus.
