Reliability and Maintainability
Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) is an overview course which will enable acquisition logisitics
managers to understand the relationships between R&M (engineering disciplines) and acquisition logistics
and more effectively evaluate the potential impact of R&M decisions on the logistics aspects of a systems
acquisition program. The course stresses a conceptual rather than a statistical approach. Students do not
require a background in engineering or statistics, and will be presented with basic R&M terminology and
engineering practices. This course should provide a good foundation for further training in the detailed
aspects of R&M engineering. It is designed for personnel with management or technical responsibilities
in integrated logistics support, logistics support analysis, reliability and maintainability, safety, or
maintenance engineering experience.
Prerequisites: ACQ 201, LOG 201.

Configuration Management
Configuration Management provides an overview of the basic philosophy and practices of configuration
management, life cycle aspects of configuration management, related configuration management
activities, and the interrelationships of configuration management and integrated logistics support. It
covers the basic policy and procedures of configuration management in DoD directives, regulations and
pamphlets, and military standards and specifications. The course material provides a general overview of
configuration management and primary documents describing its practice. Other key areas such as
identification, audits, change control, ethics, and status accounting are discussed.
Prerequisites: ACQ 201.
Length: 5 Class Days
LOG 205
Provisioning
The course reviews provisioning policies, procedures, and management techniques for different
acquisition strategies, and provides functional training in selecting provisioning activities. The course
emphasizes the interrelationships and interdependencies of logistic functions and focuses on the
management aspects of provisioning a system or end item. Students discuss new concepts and techniques
and the application of ethical principles. Emphasis is placed on the flow of the provisioning process to
ensure a sound understanding of the normal sequence of events which occur in the provisioning of a
system or end item of equipment. Participants will develop competencies in planning, executing,
managing, and assessing the provisioning of DoD weapon systems and equipment. Practical exercises and
case studies will allow students to engage in significant activities in the provisioning process.
