Design Interface and Maintenance Planning (DI/MP) Course

Enroll in the Design Interface and Maintenance Planning (DI/MP) Course to gain the instruction and practice to apply leading edge processes for the life cycle of acquired systems, equipment and high-value physical assets. In alignment with the five phases of Defense Acquisition Management System (DoD 5000 Model), this course is designed for logisticians and engineers, from novices to experienced professionals, as well as maintenance planners, managers and technicians from the military, municipal and commercial sectors. As an introductory course, there are no pre-requisite requirements to attend.

Course Objectives
Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Describe DI/MP integration within a systems engineering, integrated product team (IPT) environment
• Explain the Logistics Management Information (LMI) System development and delivery process
• Apply critical DI/MP processes throughout the phases of Acquisition and Sustainment

Course Outline
This course is comprised of eight units, beginning with an overview to provide a clear understanding of the learning expectations for each unit. The first unit introduces participants to the concept of DI/MP integration within a systems engineering IPT environment. The next five units provide instruction on the sequential phases of the DoD 5000 Model, addressing the processes and tools required to perform the tasks associated with each acquisition phase. During the seventh unit, trainees receive a high-level overview of the Logistics Management Information (LMI) System as it relates to their responsibilities as a DI/MP logistician. The last unit will summarize and review course content and provide participants with opportunity to work in their pre-assigned groups to “teach back” one of the units.

Course Design
Delivered over a one-week period for up to 40 hours, instructional strategies introduce concepts, reinforce learning, engage participants in the learning process and include

• Training Materials (included in cost)
• Lecture, supported by on-screen presentations
• Demonstration
• Large Group Discussion
• Case Study Analysis
• Capstone Practice Exercises

Capstone Practice Exercises
These exercises will be delivered in two parts:

• Part 1: Knowledge assessment of content presented in Units 1 through 3.
• Part 2: Knowledge assessment of content presented in Units 4 through 6.

Both exercises will be performed in pre-assigned collaborative groups. The entire group will be scored for each exercise and scores are cumulative. Each group will remain the same for both exercises. Successful completion of both Capstone Exercises is required to pass this course at a minimum of 70 percent accuracy per group.
