Logistics Product Data (LPD) Training
The Standard for Excellence
Pierian Academy’s LPD training gives logisticians and supportability professionals the practical skills to develop, review, and apply LPD correctly, from initial concept through to sustainment.
About LPD Training
The LPD Course is designed to provide logisticians and supportability professionals with an in-depth understanding of the concepts, principles and current reference standards which guide Product Support Analysis (PSA) and LPD development, contracting, use and sustainment throughout the life cycle.
The Goal
Provide useful information for logisticians and supportability professionals on the new SAE SMC LCLS (GEIA/TA) standards including insight into enhancements in the upcoming Rev C version.
How LPD Fits the Broader Training Path
LPD does not stand alone. It sits within an integrated set of supportability disciplines that together define how complex systems are supported throughout their lifecycle.
Product Support Analysis (PSA) establishes the analytical framework, defining what needs to be maintained, at what level, and with what resources. LPD translates those requirements into structured, standardized data outputs that maintenance and support organizations can act on. Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) then determines where and how repair is most cost-effectively delivered, taking into account the logistics factors that LPD helps define.
Engineers and logisticians who complete PSA, LPD, and LORA training gain an integrated, end-to-end understanding of the asset support process. Pierian Academy offers all three as part of a comprehensive supportability training program.
Types of LPD Training
This course provides 2.5 days of classroom instruction. The course incorporates instruction, demonstrations, and discussions supported by real-world lessons learned. It includes training materials, lectures supported by on-screen presentations, demonstrations, large group discussions, and a reference library of helpful information and data.
This modular course has six instructional modules of varying lengths, beginning with the introduction to PSA and LPD and progressing through the remaining modules to provide a solid foundation of knowledge in today’s current developments and requirements for Logistics Product Data.
Course Duration: 3 Days
Cost: $999 per student
Benefits of LPD Training
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Understand the use, application, and differences of Supportability Standards including the past MIL-STD-1388 and the new standards (GEIA-STD-0007/0017, MIL-STD-1388-2B, SAE GEIA-STD-0007-B, SAE TA-HB-0007-1, SAE GEIA-HB-0007, SAE TA-STD-0017).
- Understand the of the various LPD reports, their uses and how to review them
- Understand and justify the requirements for PSA & LPD throughout the life-cycle
- How to contract for LPD
- An introduction to some of the LPD tools currently available today
Who is LPD for?
This course is designed for logisticians and supportability professionals with experience in PSA, Logistics Support Analysis (LSA), maintenance planning and/or supportability experience but provides benefit to anyone involved in supportability analysis from entry level to subject matter experts.
LPD training is particularly relevant for professionals working in industries where complex assets require structured lifecycle support — including energy and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation, and commercial aerospace. If your organization is responsible for specifying, producing, or managing logistics data across an asset’s operational life, this course provides the foundation to do it correctly.
