Download ref material to PDF document. Lessons are available. Overall course is not. Dead links were corrected, with couple minor exceptions still IW. Web sites do change, We’ll continue to watch. Outdated references. References scrub for currency now IW. Few comments re lesson introductions being "silly“, non-value added – eg, news interview with the builder of Stonehenge (Others liked it) 6. Minor - couple of comments regarding spelling errors (i.e. MTBF as MBTF), missing comma, etc JOB IMPACT: 1. Vast majority of students were outside of the logistics sustainment and supply chain management job specialty; 4,622 course graduates during FY-12 - - Only about 14-16% were in some sort of log/log sustainment related billet. 5.76 5.72 5.72 5.74 5.53 0 5.24 5.25 5.59 5.6 7.0

LOG 102 STUDENT COMMENTS The Good The Slightly Less Good, But Useful As a maintainer, knowing the supply system functions and programmatics is essential Interesting and easy to follow Great overview Environmental compliance info critical to those without extensive experience Excellent and challenging if you really do it; good overview of how the system should work Good review of the more detailed, in-depth knowledge I gained in graduate school, with my Master’s in Logistics; some of that info updated me. Solid, basic class for understanding Logistics The Slightly Less Good, But Useful Mandatory training at my command, but most doesn’t apply to my current duties Some of the links don’t Don’t test, we are grownups; 100% requirement detracts from the learning Should be a classroom course, don’t like online courses Too long, too much information; bandwidth is an issue Tests are terrible, some of the quiz questions are questionable Shorten the waiting time for Help Desk
Course Manager / PLD Assessment Course is successful and overall well regarded MTMs following the trend Throughput and Demographics balanced Gateway into Life Cycle Logistics for other Career Fields Strengthens LCL foundation for other LCL courses LOG 206, Intermediate Systems Sustainment Management LOG 340, Performance-Based Life Cycle Product Support LOG 350, Enterprise Life Cycle Logistics Management DAU Section and Instructor capacity adequate Short term plan: Scrub course material for outdated refs, typo's/spelling, and monitor web links - CM/PLD correct based on Composica ROE Mid-term plan: 1. Incorporate Will Cost-Should Cost, Better Buying Power Initiative (BBPI) tenants into the course curriculum (Module 3, Logistics Financial Management) after release of BBPI Phase II in keeping with DAU's strategic planning initiative.
