Determination of Training Requirements for New Logistics Support Analysis Managers Using Instructional Systems Development.

Abstract

This thesis study used the first two steps of the Instructional Systems Development (ISD) process to determine the training requirements of new managers of Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) in Air Force System Program Offices. Thirty-six structured interviews were conducted in person and by telephone to gather the data. The data analysis identified 25 knowledge and skill areas important to LSA management. It also indicated that new LSA managers generally lacked experience or ability in at least 70 percent of these areas. Only 8 of these areas were identified as areas where some new LSA managers have any experience or skill. The analysis also indicated a lack of adequate training on the Air Force LSA program. The results of this study indicate a need for persons appointed as LSA managers to have stronger technical backgrounds. It also identifies the need for a course on LSA. The study indicates the basic background requirements for LSA managers and makes recommendations for improving the Air Force LSA training program.
