COURSE DISCRIPTION FLG-102 Introduction to IFCAP and GIP Fundamentals of System Sustainment Management provides a broad overview of the role of the life cycle logistician during the sustainment phase of a weapons system's life cycle. Modules cover logistics/supply-chain management concepts, maintenance processes, end-to-end distribution, best commercial practices as applied to weapon systems sustainment, performance metrics, partnering/alliance opportunities and experiences, performance-based support, enterprise business environment and opportunities, and reduction in life cycle/total ownership costs. FLG-105 Introduction to Materials Management LOG 211 builds on the Supportability concepts presented in LOG 201, Product Support Strategy Development, Part B. Designed as the lynchpin course for the instruction of Supportability Analysis, LOG 211 uses a notional scenario to engage Life Cycle Logisticians and other career field workforce students within the Systems Engineering process to ensure that design characteristics such as Reliability, Availability, Maintainability (RAM) and Affordability are included as system performance requirements, and that the system is concurrently designed, developed and acquired with the optimal Product Support infrastructure and resources. FLG-211 Intermediate Quality Assurances and Risk Management In addition, LOG 211 provides detailed process-oriented instruction in specific Supportability Analysis techniques and tools. Its instructional methodology uses Student Exercises and Gaming and Simulations focused on selected subsystems and components to illustrate the influence of Supportability principles and the outcomes of its trade studies in maturing both the system design and its sustainment infrastructure while achieving Affordability. The use of Supportability Analysis tools and the Logistics Product Database is reinforced throughout the course as an integral part of the Systems Engineering and Product Support processes, and as key enablers to achieving program Sustainment Key Performance Parameters, Key System Attributes (KSA), and Affordability to comply with OSD’s Better Buying Power Initiative.
