PM and Their Staffs: Does Sustainable Manufacturing Mean 'Going Green'?

Abstract

OSD's Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy Office (MIBP) has been working with personnel from Dynamics Research Corporation on the development of a short course on "Sustainable Manufacturing." The goal of the development effort is to transition the courseware material to the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) for use as a continuous learning module (CLM). The target audience includes all DoD Acquisition Personnel. The Learning Objectives include 1. Introduction to essential laws, policy and guidance for DoD Sustainability and Sustainable Manufacturing; 2. Improved awareness of sustainability management, trade offs, and consequence of choices that impact: the Warfighter, the Mission, the Environment, and Cost; 3. Consideration of metrics and indices to monitor progress in achieving Sustainable Manufacturing; 4. Develop understanding that everyone can have an impact on Sustainability.
