E-Z Quant programs. Graphic presentation of trend and improvement curve data
for identification of possible irregularities and report presentation is stressed
through case study applications. Students will identify audit situations where
regression analysis or improvement curves could be applied; utilize the correct
E-Z Quant program for a given situation; correctly interpret the E-Z Quant pro-
gram output including graphs and statistical measures; determine if reliance can
be placed upon the analysis and ways to improve the analysis; and analyze im-
provement curve data, identify major irregularities of significant changes in trend
data, and adjust the data to establish estimates of the contractor's future produc-
tion cost.

Length: 5 Class Days

AUD 1320: Intermediate Contract Auditing

Intermediate Contract Auditing is designed to assist the staff auditor to plan,
accomplish, and conduct audits or segments of audits which may be assigned
after one year of contract audit experience.

Topics covered include defining audit objectives; planning the audit; factors in-
fluencing risk assessment; high and low audit risk areas; generally accepted
Government auditing standards; attending negotiations; and negotiation techni-
ques and concepts; the requirements of Form 2000, auditor responsibility to
detect fraud, and common fraud indicators; Cost Accounting Standards (CAS)

and CAS 401 and accounting changes; post award review concepts and price ad-
justments and audit leads and observations.

The student participates in discussions, practical exercises, and group case
studies to highlight problem areas and evaluate alternative courses of action.

Length: 5 Class Days

AUD 8560: DCAA Supervisory Skills Workshop

The Supervisory Skills Workshop addresses the new supervisor's adjustment
to the demands and responsibilities of a supervisory auditor. Participants focus
on issues which they face on the job. Topics discussed include personnel manage
ment and administration, Dimensional Management Training (DMT) and situa-
tional leadership.

The participant builds administrative and people skills through classroom in-
struction and activities. Emphasis is placed on developing the supervisor's ability
to use key personnel management programs (staffing, training and development,
performance appraisal, promotions, and employee relations) in carrying out per-
sonnel management functions. Supervisory actions which improve audit quality
while developing auditor competence and commitment are presented. Partici-
pants learn the DMT approach to seek solutions to audit issues, performance defi-
ciencies, and behavioral problems. Upon completion of the workshop, the partici-
pant should be able to incorporate personnel management requirements into the

CHAPTER 2
Administrative Procedures

A. General

The courses listed in this catalog are grouped by career field and divided into
three career levels. While generally associated with a specific career field, and
career level, some courses are multi-functionally related and required at various
career levels, The basic level, Level I, courses are designed to provide fundamental
knowledge and establish primary qualification and expertise in the individual’s
career field, job series or functional area. At the intermediate level, Level I,
specialization is emphasized. The courses at this level are designed to enhance the
employee's capabilities in the individual’s primary specialty or functional area. At
the senior level, Level IIT, acquisition training emphasizes management of the
acquisition process and the latest methods being implemented in the career field
or functional area. Each of these levels typically corresponds to particular GS/GM
levels or military ranks which have been defined by the individual military depart-
ment or agency; however, grade is not generally a requirement for course enroll-
ment.

B. Procedures for Course Attendance

By using the information and procedures in this catalog a person can determine
the mandatory training courses required for a particular acquisition career field as
determined in DoD 5000.52M and the process to follow to attend these courses. In
general, the procedures are as follows:

1. Identification of Course Requirements - Identify the course requirements for a
career field at each level using Chapter IV. A brief description of each of these
courses is contained in Chapter V.

2. Obtaining a Seat - Having determined which mandatory courses must be
taken at the desired level, the following procedures should be followed to obtain
a seat in a class depending upon an individual’s service component.

ARMY PERSONNEL

To obtain a seat in a mandatory course prospective students must submit a
completed DD Form 1556, signed by their supervisor, to the Civilian Personnel
Office (CPO) training branch. The CPO will input the necessary information into
the Army Training Requirements Reporting System (ATRRS). When a class

FOREWORD

I am pleased to have played a leadership role in establishing
the Defense Acquisition University (DAU), and proud to introduce it
to you in this first catalog of the DAU's acquisition education and
training courses.

The DAU is a unique organization, one that has no equivalent in
the Department of Defense, As of August 1, 1992, 15 different
Service and Agency education and training institutions and
organizations have agreed to participate in delivering DoD
acquisition courses under the DAU's auspices. Each DAU consortium
member performs a distinctive role and contributes a special
expertise to the University mission, resulting in an organization
that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Establishing the DAU would not have been possible without the
advice and cooperation of the participating consortium members and
senior officials within the Military Departments, the Defense
Agencies, the Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of
Defense. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who
have assisted in making this organization a reality.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT COLLEGE

The Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) has recently expanded its
scope and mission to offer courses encompassing all essential elements of defense
acquisition management. Through the Defense Acquisition University, DSMC
offers a variety of courses in contracting, logistics, program management,
systems engineering, and manufacturing and production.

Located at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, DSMC, was founded in 1971 by Deputy
Secretary of Defense David Packard and has earned a worldwide reputation
within Government and industry for the excellence of its education, research, and

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Quality Assurance is a multi-faceted career field that incudes a variety of acqui-
_ sition areas, e.g., contracting, development/production, contract administration,
and storage. These functions require knowledge of regulations and methods used
in contracting; business and industry practices, and technical practices applicable
to specific commodities. Personnel in the Quality Assurance (QA) function
generally evaluate DoD contractor's compliance with the technical and quality
requirements of acquisition contracts. They also collect and perform analyses of
contractor process data, examine the adequacy of contractor processes, audit pro-
_ duction floor level and support processes, issue corrective action requests, per-
form quality engineering functions, review the requirements of QA related areas
in acquisition plans and accompanying plans and documents. They develop con-
tract QA provisions for solicitations. They also operate laboratories and test
facilities to evaluate material acquisitions.

OTHER DoD COMPONENT PERSONNEL

In the DoD components outside the Military Departments (including the Office
of the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff and the Joint
Staff, the Inspector General, the Defense Agencies, the Defense “Field
Activities,” the Joint Service Schools, and the Defense Support Activities), it is
the responsibility of the supervisors of persons who require mandatory training to
ensure that the training is properly requested and authorized, and that travel, if
any, in connection with the training is properly ordered.

Supervisors of civilian employees in the components should consult with acqui-
sition training officials (most often, such an official will be located in the civilian
personnel office for a component) to determine the detailed procedures for re-
questing and authorizing mandatory training. The supervisor of a military
member may need to coordinate with both the acquisition training officials in the
component and with the member's Military Department which is responsible for:
obtaining quotas and funds for the member.



INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE OF THE ARMED FORCES

The mission of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) is to prepare
selected military officers and civilians for senior leadership and staff positions by
conducting postgraduate, executivelevel courses of study and associated
research dealing with the resource component of national power. Special emphasis
is placed on materiel acquisition and joint logistics and their integration into
national security strategy for peace and war. ICAF is one of four colleges of the
National Defense University (NDU)} located at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C.

The College is the premier DoD educational institution for management of
resources for national security. However, the curriculum provides a broad educa-
tion in national security strategy as well as the more specific coverage of
resources management. The student body is composed of a balance of operators
(30 percent), resource managers and technical personnel (50 percent), and civilians
(20 percent). They receive full coverage of the joint professional military education
requirements and are fully qualified as Joint Staff Officers upon graduation.
Thus, the College’s graduates are unique among senior officials in that they are
knowledgeable of both strategic planning and resources management.

On July 1, 1991, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition) (USD(A))
announced his choice of ICAF to take on an enhanced educational mission for
senior members of the Departmentof Defense acquisition workforce. Beginning in
1992-1993 academic year, ICAF is providing the senior course for the acquisition
workforce. As the provider of the Senior Acquisition Course, ICAF is also a
cooperating college in the DAU while remaining a part of NDU. The USD(A)
maintains oversight of the acquisition content of the ICAF curriculum to ensure
its relevance to senior DoD acquisition personnel.

CHAPTER 3

Senior Acquisition Education Program
and the Senior Course

(ACQ 401)

A Senior Acquisition Education Program, comprised of a variety of offerings to
cover the broad spectrum of disciplines that are represented in the acquisition
workforce, is currently under development. The DoD components will select and
slate candidates for the Senior Program and determine equivalency of offerings
based on Components’ needs and the career development needs of individuals
serving in critical positions.

The Senior Course is one of these offerings and is the preeminent course for
members of the Acquisition§ Corps.

The Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF) has been designated by the
Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition) to present the Senior Acquisition
Course for selected students as part of the aiewly-formed) Defense Acquisition
University. The Senior Acquisition Course begami im academic year 1992-1993.

The Course is designed to prepare selected military officers and civilians for
senior leadership and staff positions throughout the acquisition community.

ICAF has expanded the acquisition portion of its curriculum for Acquisition
Senior Course students. They will be offered a wide choice of research and elective
opportunities, as well as a common core curriculum and a separate acquisition
course, described in detail below. Students will be fully integrated into the ICAF
student body for much of their studies. Providing separate attention in acquisi-
tion course work while retaining the benefits of intermingling with operational
and other functional communities follows the pattern established in ICAF’s pro-
posal for the acquisition senior course.

The Senior Acquisition Course consists of the entire 10-month ICAF curricu-
lum, enhanced for designated acquisition students through 4 major elements:

1. Core Curriculum. The multi-disciplined core curriculum includes major acquisi-
tion management issues distributed throughout studies in such courses as
Decisionmaking, Political Science, History, Military Strategy, Economics,
National Infrastructure, Joint Military Logistics, Mobilization, and Defense
Industry Studies. Students designated for the Senior Acquisition Course parti-
cipate in the core curriculum with all other ICAF students.

2. Advanced Acquisition Management Studies. A concentrated course in senior-
level acquisition management is conducted in. the spring in conjunction with
other core curriculum studies. Seminars, lectures, and case studies have been
designed to challenge the students to assess current acquisition policy and
practice in the context of National Security Strategy with an emphasis on ac-
quisition management in a changing world.

Systems Criteria (C/SCSC) from a management perspective. Participants examine
the techniques and results of applying C/SCSC to defense system programs as a
primary management tool in program management. The course covers use of con-
tractor cost performance data in measuring contract performance relevant to
major weapons systems acquisition programs in DoD. It relates DoD standards.
and their use in evaluating the contractor’s Management Control System (MCS),
and the contractual implementation of the C/SCSC and respective financial
reports such as the Cost Performance Report (CPR). Participants apply analytical
techniques to determine current status, forecast performance trends, and
estimate contract cost at completion. The emphasis on financial reporting and
baseline management assists students in relating performance measurement data
to DoD resource management. Participants also receive an introduction to con-
tract performance measurement on less-than-major programs through the
application and contractual implementation of the C/SSR. Application of perfor-
mance measurement is covered through case studies, “hands-on” exercises, and
guest speakers from industry and Government. Representation from the Perfor-
mance Measurement Joint Executive Group (PMJEG) provides participants with
an opportunity for a direct dialogue on policy and implementation, and an oppor-
tunity to obtain responses to questions relative to their particular responsibilities.

’. Courses Previously Taken

This catalog uses a new DAU course coding system, e.g., CON 101 for a Level I
ourse in contracting fundamentals. Appendix A correlates the DAU course titles
ind coding with the titles and coding used by the consortium schools. By using
his appendix an individual may determine if he/she has met the DAU course re-
Juirements through previously taken courses. College courses listed in Appendix
> also meet the DAU course requirements.

forms. The most frequently used are resident — the student attends the course at
one of the DAU consortium schools; and on-site — the classes are taught at
zeographic locations where there are sufficient acquisition workforce students to
support a class offering. DAU courses are also offered by satellite and correspon-
dence. Information on course offerings is published separately in the Defense Ac-
quisition University Course Schedule.

F. Consortium Schools

TST 201: Test and Evaluation Management

Test and Evaluation Management introduces the concepts, scope, and applica-
tion of test and evaluation as a management tool for system acquisition execu-
tives. Subjects covered include test and evaluation as the feedback mechanism for
systems engineering; the relationship of test and evaluation to all the phases of
the system life cycle; and the special relationship of test. and evaluation to inter-
facing disciplines of hardware, software, production, affordability, and logistics
support. Participants are exposed to current policy, practice, and procedures ap-
plicable to the management of test and evaluation in a defense system acquisition.
The course enhances the ability of staff and functional managers to interface with
program managers. Participants will gain an understanding of the test and
evaluation process and develop a stronger comprehension of the activities and in-
tegration of systems engineering and the test and evaluation disciplines necessary
in the system life cycle. They will also develop an understanding of the roles of
Government and industry organizations in test and evaluation management.
Guest lecturers and faculty present specifically tailored “real world” examples of
