The LOG 204 course on Configuration Management is migrating from classroom to distance learning as per FIPT recommendations. This move aims to broaden the target audience and improve accessibility for the DoD workforce. The current course content is robust with necessary updates to ensure its relevance. Graduates will learn to apply Configuration Management principles in the context of Integrated Process and Product Development. The distance learning format promises increased participation and availability while addressing current challenges such as travel budget constraints.

LOG204 (DL) Configuration Management Bruce Hatlem Logistics Functional IPT June 26, 2007
Background • FIPT Recommendations • DAU Proceed with FY05 migration from classroom to distance learning • Pursue joint LOG-SYS designation to broaden target audience • Logistics FIPT Approve Approach and Provide Course Content Inputs • Strong FIPT/DACM endorsement of course to workforce after migration
Assumptions • CM is an important logistics competency • Interest remains, and students see value • Need for government life cycle logistician insight continues in PBL environment • LOG 204 course material has broader applicability than just life cycle logisticians, including SPRDE professionals & program managers • Migration to DL offers greater potential for increased student participation • Mitigates reduced travel budgets for in-residence courses • Precludes problems with personnel being out of the office for course • LOG 204 course material should continue to be available to DoD workforce • Current course content is solid, with modifications required to maintain currency • Existing course material will serve as foundation of a future distance learning version of this course
Course Objectives • Apply Configuration Management oversight as a tool in the Integrated Process and Product Development effort for System Management. • Given a scenario, utilize Integrated Process & Product Development approach to manage configuration for a system during its life cycle.
Background • Road Ahead • Brief Status to Logistics FIPT 29 Oct • LOG 204 Course Manager & DAU Logistics/SPRDE Program Directors Meet with OSD Systems Engineering & Logistics Staffs 8-9 Nov 04 • Discussions with Service and GEIA subject matter experts • Develop Course Migration Strategy and POA&M with Late-2005 Target Migration Date, depending on funding • Recommendations • DAU Proceed with FY05 migration from classroom to distance learning • Pursue joint LOG-SYS designation to broaden target audience • Logistics FIPT Approve Approach and Provide Course Content Inputs • Strong FIPT/DACM endorsement of course to workforce after migration
LOG 204 FY05 Migration • Road Ahead • Brief Status to Logistics FIPT 29 Oct • LOG 204 Course Manager & DAU Logistics/SPRDE Program Directors Meet with OSD Systems Engineering & Logistics Staffs 8-9 Nov 04 • Discussions with Service and GEIA subject matter experts • Develop Course Migration Strategy and POA&M with Late-2005 Target Migration Date, depending on funding • Course Manager Assessment: • LOG 204 course material should continue to be available to DoD workforce • Current course content is solid, with modifications required to maintain currency • Existing course material will serve as foundation of a future distance learning version of this course
Updates • Implement USMC Dec 02 Logistics FIPT Recommendation to “assign dual labeling status (i.e. SYS 204) in addition to LOG 204.” • Expand: • Configuration Management “basics” • Software Configuration Management • Private Sector best practices/processes • Integrated configuration management of software and hardware issues • Interaction of MIL HDBK 61A, EIA 836, EIA 649A and EIA 859. • PBL/PSI configuration management & data management relationship/interaction • Integrated product data environment (vice separate management of CM data & other technical data) • Update current verbiage from: • Defense Acquisition Guidebook – SE (4.2.3.6) & Life Cycle Logistics Chapters (5.2.1.4) • Chapter 4 Draft “Performance Based Logistics: Program Manager’s Product Support Guide” • ANSI/EIA 649A, Configuration Management (and HDBK 649, Configuration Management under development) • ISO 10007, Quality Management – Guidelines for configuration management • EIA 836, Configuration Management Data Exchange and Interoperability
Terminal Learning Objectives • Lesson 1: CM Introduction - Given a specific situation, correctly relate the role and interrelationships of the key elements of Configuration Management (CM) (e.g. CM Planning, Identification, Status Accounting, Audits, Control, and Data Management) • Lesson 2: CM Contribution to SE - Provided a scenario, distinguish the role of CM in the SE Process • Lesson 3: CM Requirements During a Life Cycle - Given a case exercise, explain how CM concepts, definitions, principles, and applications are applied within the system life cycle. • Lesson 4: Configuration Identification - Given a scenario, identify Configuration Items and interfaces for a proposed system. • Lesson 5: Data Management - Given a scenario, identify, determine, and analyze CM data requirements. • Lesson 6: Configuration Status Accounting (CSA) - Given a scenario, build a status accounting system • Lesson 7: Audits / Verification - Given a set of alternatives, differentiate among Functional & Physical Configuration Audits (FCA / PCA) & technical reviews
Terminal Learning Objectives • Lesson 8: Configuration Control - Given a scenario, control the configuration of a system throughout its life cycle, including: • Develop, assess and justify an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) / Request for Deviation (RFD) • Review an ECP/RFD and recommend actions for the configuration manager • Determine the implementation method for a change • Lesson 9: Software Configuration Management (SCM) - Given a scenario, prepare / review SCM documentation • Lesson 10: Managing CM Programs - Performance Metrics - Given a scenario, select performance metrics to manage a CM program • Lesson 11: CM Planning - Given a scenario, develop & review a CM plan for a Contractor & a Government program office • Lesson 12: Managing CM Programs - Given a scenario, develop a structure for a CM program
