Introduction to Reducing Total Ownership Costs (R-TOC) is a three-hour module offered to the DoD Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) workforce in order to share RTOC ideas, tools, and strategies with the acquisition and logistics communities. The module provides an orientation to the R-TOC requirement, definitions of key R-TOC concepts, and descriptions of best practices. It emphasizes total cost of ownership reduction from a systems perspective.

All DoD AT&L personnel who need to apply R-TOC principles or who desire to further their working knowledge of the R-TOC process and concepts should complete this module. Participants are expected to have a variety of career experiences. This course is especially recommended for individuals working in program/project management organizations.
