Characteristics
Engineering Logistics CONOP
Single Point of Customer Contact - Vessel. There will be a
single point of contact between the total logistics system and
the vessel. The point of contact will arrange all shore-based
logistics services for the vessel (regardless of geographic
location, type of funds required, or level of service) and
provide a single voice for the logistics system to the vessel.
The point of contact will also provide the conduit for customer
feedback needed to continually improve the total system.
Air Logistics Management. Logistics management at Air
Stations will be centralized.
Vessel Logistics Management. Logistics management for
selected cutter classes will be centralized aboard ship.
Logistics management for all others will be provided by the
Support Unit.
Standard Customer Interface. The logistics system will have
a uniform look and feel that does not vary by equipment type,
unit type, or geographic location. This will be accomplished
through standard, integrated policies, business practices, and
information systems, which will not vary with unit design or
mission.

Resourcing
Logistics Management Development. There will be post
graduate training in logistics management, and post graduate
training in other specific disciplines will emphasize logistics
management.
Logistics Career Patterns. Career patterns for
logisticians, consisting of a set of logistics management
positions with defined prerequisites and billet/position
descriptions, will be identified and defined.
Logistics Skills Training. There will be training in USCG
logistics disciplines which will include how these disciplines
are practiced in the USCG and how the various elements of
logistics come together--policy, standard operating procedures,
and information systems--to provide the support needed to meet
the operational mission requirements.
Training on Equipment. Training on equipment will be
provided for operators and maintainers based on equipment
support requirements.
Support at Delivery. Facilities, platforms and major
systems will be delivered with planned support in place.
Support Costs of Design Alternatives. The variations and,
consequently, the cost of logistics support will be minimized by
providing estimates on the life cycle support cost implications
of design alternatives.
Minimum Spares Aboard Units. On-board inventories of
non-critical, slow-moving/low-use supplies and selected backup
equipment will be kept to a minimum.
