5. History (cont.)
Nov 2009 WSARA Product Support Assessment (PSA) Human Capital Recommendations:
Section 2. Incorporate new or modified product support competencies into DoD and industry logistics and acquisition workforce career field training, recruitment, and retention strategies
2.6 - Build on web-enabled US Army LOGSA Life Cycle Logistics wall chart to develop a “purple” web-enabled "concept-to-disposal" DoD Life Cycle Logistics wall chart

6. Requirements Tasking from IPT #3
Develop and publish a training aid in the form of an interactive web tool and printable wall chart
In support of the following objectives:
To incorporate new product support competencies into the DoD acquisition work force
Expand integrated life cycle management training at DoD and public universities
New training products will be centered on the tenets of the Product Support Business Model
Stated requirements:
Interactive web tool – met (training, job aid, resource)

7. Requirements Goals for the Tool
Serve as a standard reference for acquisition & life cycle logistics workforce personnel throughout DoD
Incorporated into DAU logistics courses & continuous learning modules
Provide current guidance for acquisition program management offices to develop & implement product support strategies
Provide a standard reference to design & conduct Independent Logistics Assessments for acquisition programs

11. Requirements Project Description
Interactive Web page on DAU Portal
Will depict sustainment activities and be in a format similar to the AT&L, Life Cycle Management Chart
Joint services perspective – activities, processes,& guidance to plan and implement product support throughout each phase of DoD material acquisition life cycle
Each activity will link to an informative “article” in the DAU Knowledge base
Each “article” will describe the activity, when it is accomplished, responsible entities and reference current regulations and policy guidance
Each “article” will also link to best practices, automated tools & other relevant information
The chart will be hosted on the DAU Portal
It will depict sustainment activities and outputs and be similar to the ILC Chart
I depicts a Joint Services perspective
Each activity and output links to a metacard that links to available resources (this is much more that an “article”).
Resources include the

16. The Link

17. The Roadmap Tool Rows are aligned with IPS Elements
Columns are aligned with acquisition phase
Rows & columns reflect relationships among:
IPS Elements (activities & outcomes)
Major program key events and products
Logistics/Program/Technical reviews
Milestones
Terminology - language used to reflect end-state of product support management
DoD Specific Perspective
Horizontal will reflect activities and outputs for that element across all phases.
Vertical will reflect what is happening in that particular phase for:
each element’s activities & outputs
what logistic/programmatic/technical reviews are occurring
major program key events and products.

19. Backup Slides

20. Working Group Established Boundaries
1st level indenture – AT&L Framework Chart
2nd level indenture – Logistics/Sustainment row on “The AT&L Framework Chart”
3rd level of indenture – DoD Integrated Product Support Roadmap Tool
“Generic” plans, activities, documents, events
4th Level of indenture – Service specific Logistics processes and charts
This is a dated slide showing how we originally were going to integrate with the ILC chart. Due to the unclear future of this chart and the fact that no planned update is coming we chose to disassociate ourselves from this chart. We are now a “stand alone” for Product Support. The PS Roadmap can stand on its own very well and the reconnect to whatever new “charts” are implemented in the future. (written 11 Oct 12).

21. The Chart Roadmap Columns: Acquisition Phases Activities/Outputs Rows:
Integrated Product Support Elements
Decision Points/Milestones
Logistics/Sustainment
Major Program Key Events/Products
Logistics/Technical/Program Reviews

22. Identified Primary Users
Product Support Managers
Life Cycle Logisticians
Program Managers
Subject Matter Experts
Government & Industry Acquisition Professionals
DAU students - resident and online courses, continuous learning modules

23. Usage Objectives
The PSM & Life Cycle Logistician must be knowledgeable about:
Activities & Outputs of the IPS Elements during each acquisition phase
Activities, Documents, & Decisions they must lead, participate in, write and contribute to
Consequences of Integration of IPS Elements
Preparation for DAB Milestone Reviews
Consequences of Integration – referring to knowledge of the effects on other elements if there is change to one.
Preparation for DAB requires Knowledge & Diligence.

24. The 4th level of indenture.
Service specific charts such as, “The Army’s Life Cycle Logistics Chart” (by Pat Rowe). NAVAIR is also doing their own chart.
All services have the opportunity to link into the DoD Life Cycle Product Support Chart at this level of indenture.
The charts show the logical flow from Integrated Defense Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Life Cycle Management to the DoD Life Cycle Product Support Chart to the service specific Life Cycle charts.
The DoD Life Cycle Product Support Chart shows the evolution or incremental implementation of Product Support from:
requirements determination to the Material Development Decision,
to the analysis of product support strategies,
to the selection of a product support strategy,
to the development a product support plan,
to the testing of the product support plan,
to the implementation and fielding of the product support package
to the identification of new requirements or major upgrades of declining systems during O&S
