Your Course of Study

Take a complex subject and make it process-friendly for your entire staff.

Who Should Attend

Any company selling products to the U.S. Department of Defense including prime contractors and subcontractors selling and manufacturing will benefit greatly from a full day of OS2 training. Distributers, Dealers, Manufacturers and Overhaul MRO Departments will learn the skills needed to gain total packaging independence. Success often comes through specialization in a specific functional domain. Prime contractors that want to advance and apply the multi-functional perspective can learn to comply with the military packaging requirements cited in each solicitation and contract. As a result of OS2 Corp training, clients who followed our instructions achieved the highest quality ratings, reduced returns, and saved money.
