This course is designed to equip students, professionals, technical personnel and managers of manufacturing and defence related industries with the essential logistic concepts, methodologies, processes and tools needed to understand and apply logistics engineering knowledge to acquire, support and strategically review any type of materiel systems acquired.
You will learn the importance of a systems approach to the design of logistics systems that includes design, development, operating and decommissioning phases of the logistic system, and focus on affordable logistics support and on total cost of ownership in its life cycle.
Achieving affordable support depends upon effective integration of acquisition logistics, strategic planning and strategic thinking from feasibility study to system birth until death. You will develop the skills that enable you to work with data from various sources such as existing operating systems, modelling for new systems, and estimation from similar systems.
