LOG 201 Curriculum Review 13 Jan 2012 PLD Assessment LOG 201 needs ongoing vigilance: – Covers a broad range of acquisition logistics competencies – Highly susceptible to changes in DoD policy – Classroom courses a bit more agile in incorporating changes, but more challenging in “training the trainers.” Significant update in FY 12 – Focus on LCSP iterative development Modules focused on what is required in the LCSP and when – More “hands-on,” somewhat less “Wall Chart” – Emphasis on Design Interface and RAM retained and enhanced – Exercises made more challenging – Final exercise now a presentation of class-developed LCSP – Reorganized to “flow” better – But…principal aim was, “Do No Harm.” 20
