LOG 3400V Life Cycle Product Support
 Description
This virtual instructor led training (VILT) course is designed to help prepare the Life Cycle Logistician to perform in a senior-level life cycle logistics role with emphasis on developing and implementing a life cycle product support strategy. Learners will apply tools and techniques from the 12-step DoD Product Support Strategy Process Model in analyzing and comparing alternative product support strategies for adoption. The course challenges learners to think critically in instructor-facilitated group exercises to justify and make sound recommendations in developing and implementing product support strategies and product support arrangements. The intent is to provide a best-value mix of product support integrators, providers, and metrics to achieve Warfighter outcome-based requirements. This course combines asynchronous review of critical DoD policies, includes videos from other functional areas, in support of a group-developed final project.

The Life Cycle Product Support course is delivered in three (3) different formats:
  • LOG 3400 is strictly in person (0800-1700 Host region local time)
  • LOG 3400V is offered in a compressed 4.5 day offering (0800-1700 local time) or an expanded 9 half-day offering (0800-1200 local time) format.
