Course Overview:

The Internet based CSWS course is designed to educate students in a reengineered Air Force process for providing initial spares support to new weapon system acquisitions and modifications. This program integrates pre-operational, interim contractor support, and initial spares requirements into a seamless support network, while providing a linkage to the sustainment phase of weapon system support. In the most complete implementation of CSWS tenets, the contractor becomes an official Air Force wholesale Inventory Control Point (ICP) and retains responsibility to manage peculiar items for an extended period of time until the system/subsystem either becomes “common” or is deemed mature/stable enough to transition to government management. Understanding this process is important to acquisition, modification, and support of weapon systems and commodities.

Course Overview:

The Manufacturing Readiness Assessment (MRA) Course is intended to prepare the student to integrate the MRA process in the acquisition life cycle of DOD Programs. The course will use case studies based on actual Air Force MRAs, as well as the DOD MRA Guidebook, to educate students on the manufacturing readiness assessment process used to assess the readiness of the critical manufacturing elements associated with that acquisition program. The course will also prepare the student to immediately participate in a MRA and conduct an accurate and defensible MRA Report on an acquisiton program. Course Objectives: Students will learn how continuous Manufacturing Readiness Assessment is applicable throughout the lifecycle of DOD programs. Students will understand MRA terminology, how to conduct an MRA, the meaning of the Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL), best practices, and how to manage manufacturing risk. Students will also become familiar with integrating MRA and MRLs into contract language. Justification: DODI 5000.02 and CJCSI 3170.01 require manufacturing assessments throughout the life of a program. These assessments must focus on both emerging manufacturing technologies and the maturity of manufacturing processes, with focus on control and quality. This course will better prepare the acquisition workforce to perform these assessments and achieve more repeatable results.

Course Overview:

WSYS 400 "Current Topics in Acquisition and Support: This course is an outstanding opportunity to learn or refresh on issues and initiatives impacting experienced acquisition and support professionals. Topics may vary somewhat from class to class, in part to reflect the most recent changes, but also to accommodate the schedules of expert guess speakers. The course enables students to listen to and engage with the experts--there is generally a different speaker or facilitator for each topic presented. Students also learn by reading a recent journal article and analyzing it with a small group of other students. The course is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn from one another, as they gather toegether from different functions, jobs, bases, and backgrounds to share knowledge and experience during roundtable discussions. Students thus benefit from exposure to the wide range of current topics in the acquisition and support arenas, helping to assess the impacts to their roles and responsibilities as managers.

Course Overview:

The Manufacturing Readiness Assessment (MRA) Course is intended to prepare the student to integrate the MRA process in the acquisition life cycle of DOD Programs. The course will use case studies based on actual Air Force MRAs, as well as the DOD MRA Guidebook, to educate students on the manufacturing readiness assessment process used to assess the readiness of the critical manufacturing elements associated with that acquisition program. The course will also prepare the student to immediately participate in a MRA and conduct an accurate and defensible MRA Report on an acquisiton program. Course Objectives: Students will learn how continuous Manufacturing Readiness Assessment is applicable throughout the lifecycle of DOD programs. Students will understand MRA terminology, how to conduct an MRA, the meaning of the Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL), best practices, and how to manage manufacturing risk. Students will also become familiar with integrating MRA and MRLs into contract language. Justification: DODI 5000.02 and CJCSI 3170.01 require manufacturing assessments throughout the life of a program. These assessments must focus on both emerging manufacturing technologies and the maturity of manufacturing processes, with focus on control and quality. This course will better prepare the acquisition workforce to perform these assessments and achieve more repeatable results.

Course Overview:

The Internet based CSWS course is designed to educate students in a reengineered Air Force process for providing initial spares support to new weapon system acquisitions and modifications. This program integrates pre-operational, interim contractor support, and initial spares requirements into a seamless support network, while providing a linkage to the sustainment phase of weapon system support. In the most complete implementation of CSWS tenets, the contractor becomes an official Air Force wholesale Inventory Control Point (ICP) and retains responsibility to manage peculiar items for an extended period of time until the system/subsystem either becomes “common” or is deemed mature/stable enough to transition to government management. Understanding this process is important to acquisition, modification, and support of weapon systems and commodities.
