Systems Engineering - The Gateway to PBL

This workshop will introduce a systems design interface technique that conveys supportability and producibility requirements to the design team and into the product design criteria. This technique derives true logistics requirements from lessons learned, assesses empirical data from customer data bases, and results in discrete and timely Supportability Design-to Requirements (SDTRs) and Producibility Design-to Requirements (PDTRs). An objective review of traditional parameters and their limited capability will be compared with the SDTR/PDTR development process.

Benefits of attending:

The workshop will redefine these SDTRs and PDTRs as the integrating functions for all the ILS Elements, where those functions synthesize and balance to effectively optimize total ownership costs (TOC) and reduce the logistics footprint.

The workshop participants will be provided with a new perspective in engaging the design team with relevant, timely and articulate design-to requirements.

About the workshop leader:

Mike Osborne retired from the US military in 1985 as a senior superintendent of both aircraft flight line and in-shop avionics maintenance. From 1993 to 2007, he supported US Army Aviation as a senior logistician for Aviation and Missile programs. He is currently a senior program analyst on the US Army PEO Missiles and Space staff. Mike is a Senior Member of the International Society of Logistics (SOLE). He was awarded Certified Professional Logistician (CPL) status in 1989, and was re-certified in 2002. He is also certified as a Configuration and Data Manager by NDIA. Mike is a member of the team re-writing the Defense Acquisition Guide Chapter 5, Life Cycle Logistics, and has recently provided significant input to the rewrite of the OSD Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Cost Rationale Report Manual.

Company overview:

The Council of Logistics Engineering Professionals' mission is to mentor, educate, share knowledge and ideas and to advance the profession of logistics engineering with its members, throughout the logistics community and to disseminate the interdisciplinary principles of logistics supportability to industry and government.

The goal is to bring logistics engineers together for the purpose of discussing, learning and coordinating activities of the technical, scientific and related engineering principles. www.logisticsengineers.org

WHAT IS CPD?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

GLOBAL CPD

Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
