DAU is pleased to announce the deployment of the ninth in a series of new integrated product support (IPS) element-based life cycle logistics credentials entitled CLCL 014 Parts & Material Life Cycle Management Credential. This new credential is aligned with a range of important topics including Diminishing Manufacturing Sources & Material Shortages (DMSMS), Parts Management, counterfeit prevention, system retirement, and additive manufacturing and sustaining engineering among many others.

This exciting new multi-disciplinary credential brings together 13 on-line training (OLT) courses and supporting resources to offer a comprehensive overview of DoD parts and material life cycle management. It is designed to provide learners an overarching understanding of the life cycle logistician’s responsibilities for planning, developing, and implementing all aspects of Parts and Material Life Cycle Management to include: Diminishing Manufacturing Source and Material Shortages (DMSMS), Root Cause Analysis, Supportability Analysis, Cybersecurity, and Additive Manufacturing. A summative examination must be completed to demonstrate learning. The target audience includes defense acquisition workforce professionals from all functional areas, including life cycle logistics, engineering & technical management, business/financial management, cost estimating, contracting, test & evaluation and program management.

With additional product support-focused credentials slated to deploy in the coming months, we now have nine life cycle logistics credentials available, including:
