Permit me to highlight two new life cycle logistics, product support and sustainment-focused webinar series from this list slated to launch this month:

• “Product Support Delta Course”. DAU launches our new “Product Support Delta Course v2023” webinar series this month! This ten-part series of monthly webinars is intended to provide life cycle logisticians (LCL) who previously earned Level III or Advanced Tier DAWIA certification with timely insights into what’s changed, along with updated information on policies and processes that have evolved since originally earning LCL DAWIA certification. The series of short-duration events will also examine differences between product support requirements outlined in earlier policies and the new DoDI 5000.91 Product Support Management for the AAF. The first session, entitled “PS Delta Course - Lesson 1: Intro and Overview of the Major Changes” will be held on Monday March 20 from 11:00 am– 12:30 pm EDT (note the change from the originally scheduled date of March 6). Registration is now open!
• “Parts & Material Management Proven Processes”. With a focus on Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS), obsolescence, parts management/parts selection, and standardization related topics, this new “Parts and Material Management Proven Practices” webinar series also debuts in March 2023. This monthly webinar series provides an excellent cross-functional forum for promoting, shaping, and coordinating government and industry approaches to effective DMSMS and parts management. This series leverages subject matter experts to increase workforce knowledge, awareness and ability to support your program effectively. The first session, entitled “Laying Down the Law: DMSMS Management Policy and Guidance” is scheduled for Thursday March 16, 2023 from 1:00-2:00 pm EDT. Registration is now open!
