As a follow-on to Part 1 of this two-part DAU LOG Blog series, your DAU colleagues have deployed five new online training courses in recent months. As a public service, permit me to share a few details about the remaining two newly deployed life cycle logistics, product support, and sustainment-focused courses.

• LOG 0440 Supply Chain Resiliency Fundamentals - This introductory DAU life cycle logistics online training course focuses on the fundamental principles of establishing and managing resilient supply chains across the life cycle of DoD systems. We developed LOG 0440 in response to the 2022 interim update to the Life Cycle Logistics (LCL) Competency Model regarding emerging topics, which included Supply Chain Resiliency, as well as recent Executive Orders, Congressional interest, and Service and Component initiatives to establish and maintain supply chains that can withstand and quickly recover from disruptions and perform well in a Contested Logistics environment. The course is self-paced and approximately 4 hours long, followed by a multiple-choice assessment, which will include a test-through option. For more details on Supply Chain Resiliency and Supply Chain Risk Management, please refer to our recent blogs on the subjects. Stay tuned for a new CLCL 017 credential on Supply Chain Resiliency later this fiscal year. In the meantime, check out last week’s DAU LOG Blog entitled “Updated Supply Chain Resiliency and SCRM Resources” for additional information on this topic.

• LOG 0590 Digital Product Support Fundamentals - This familiarization course was developed in response to the 2022 interim update to the Life Cycle Logistics (LCL) Competency Model and provides students a fundamental understanding of the use of digital engineering principles and authoritative system data and models in developing, implementing, and executing a system’s product support strategy. LOG 0590 provides a foundational overview of digital engineering and digital data definitions and principles; DoD and Service policy, guidance, strategies, and initiatives; implementation examples across the Military Departments and 12 Integrated Product Support (IPS) elements; considerations for when to use digital for new and modified legacy systems; and considerations for developing requests for proposal and executing contracts using a Digital Product Support approach. This new course is self-paced and takes approximately 4-5 hours to complete. At the end is a multiple-choice assessment, which includes a test-through option. Also stay tuned for a new logistics CLCL 016 Digital Product Support credential later this year. In the meantime, for additional details on Digital Product Support, encourage you to take a look at our Digital Product Support ACQuipedia Article as well as several recent blogs on the subject including “Exploring Digital Product Support Opportunities” and “Hot Topics (Part 3) Digital Engineering and Product Support”.
