Integrated Product Support Elements Guidebook

This guidebook is a Defense Acquisition University training asset to supplement and further explain implementation of new Product Support Manager guidance published by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The focus is on the PSM Guidebook Appendix A, “Integrated Product Support Elements”.
The intended audience is primarily the Product Support Manager (PSM) and senior Life Cycle Logisticians. The level of detail is to assist the PSM “Journeyman” in better understanding the scope, products, deliverable scheduling, and associated activities that are within the scope of the PSM position. Adding to the learning value of the Guidebook are a high number of references, many of them actively hyperlinked, within the text of each topical discussion. Additionally, the material in this Guidebook reflects and links with content of DAU courseware where applicable and further references DAU training materials with which the readers can further expand their knowledge of a specific topic.
