Utilizing T&E to improve product support and validate product support strategies. Conducting ILAs.

Learn. Perform. Succeed. Lesson 6: Planning, Programming, Budgeting & Execution Process and Cost Estimating Lesson Overview: The LCL is responsible for providing the program manager with cost/budget estimates required to implement the product support strategy/plan. Throughout the program the LCL uses various cost estimating techniques to provide budget estimates. Correspondingly, it is important for the LCL to understand the entire PPBE process to navigate resource allocation gates and timeframes. Acquisition Logistics Competencies: PPBE Process Life Cycle Cost Management Cost Estimating Earned Value Management Lesson Content: Provides an in depth review of the PPBE process. This content was “chunked” out of BCF 103 “Fundamentals of Business Financial Management”. It details PPBE as DoD’s primary resource allocation process, having the ultimate objective of providing warfighters with the best mix of equipment, personnel, and support attainable within established fiscal constraints. The content also includes cost estimating covering life cycle costing, cost as an independent variable (CAIV) and earned value management (EVM).

Learn. Perform. Succeed. LOG 201A Student Survey Comments for “Least Useful” Elements of the Course “Have a little interaction through use of simulations or something. Just reading the material and answering questions was quite boring.” “The only conceivable use for this course is to hammer home the same concepts that every other DAU course in Logistics has already put forth; and it achieves this modest goal in the least graceful way I can imagine.” “Objectives and course content did not support the test questions.” “It was basically just printing out the material, reading through it and then taking the test.” “I thought the material was very important but the editing and writing are of very low quality. Many chapters had so many typographical errors that it became distracting to the content I was attempting to learn.” “Rewrite the class, put in a logical sequence, and write test questions that make sense and support the learning objective.”
