  1. Air Force Materiel Command Life Cycle Management Tools Sherry Ott HQ AFMC/A4UA 15 Jan 10 (DSN 787-2801) Integrity  Service  Excellence

  2. Purpose • Provide an overview of AFMC’s Life Cycle Management suite of integrated tools • Acquisition Sustainment Tool Kit (ASTK) • Logistics Health Assessment (LHA) • Independent Logistics Assessment (ILA)

  3. Why ASTK? • Acquisition Logistics - fundamental problems • Erosion of acquisition logistics expertise/skill set • Loss of structured approach (MIL STDs, 800 series regs) • Inconsistent processes • Newly fielded systems experiencing supportability problems (i.e. predator)

  4. What is the ASTK? • A tool that facilitates up-front planning • Can help anyone working daily acq sustainment tasks • Targeted at the GS-12 level • Contains Product Support (PS) Processes • Pre-Milestone A - Disposal • Defines specific PS tasks to be worked on a program • Consists of: • AS Process Matrix • AS Checklists • AS Kneepad Checklist

  5. ASTKProcess Matrix • Product Support process road map • Tasks listed Pre-Milestone A thru Disposal • Contains hyperlinks to supporting checklists

  6. ASTKChecklists • Supplements specific PS support tasks embedded within the AS Process Matrix Entrance Criteria Aligned to Task ID # on Processes Matrix and Logistics Process Flow Process Descriptions Subtasks Exit Criteria Links to source documentation

  7. ASTKKneepad Checklist • Convenient, downloadable, PS reference booklet • Contains synopsis of each process in the AS Process Matrix • Includes AS Checklists in an appendix for quick & easy reference Acquisition Sustainment KNEEPAD CHECKLIST 1 Aug 09

  8. ASTK Usage • AFI 63-101, Acq& Sustainment Life Cycle Mgmt, 17 Apr 09 • 3.88.1…“The PM will use the AS Tool Kit as an aid to facilitate product support/sustainment planning and management throughout the life cycle of the program” 8 Oct 08 SAE Guidance Memorandum: …“Effective immediately, the AS Tool Kit will be used by all Air Force acquisition programs as a tool to aid their program planning and management activities”… 10 Dec 08 AFMC/CC Follow-on Memorandum … “I personally endorse use of the AS Tool Kit and will measure AFMC implementation through Unit Compliance Inspections (UCI)”…

  9. ASTK Status Codified in policy - AFI 63-101, AFPAM 63-128 Training opportunities • Air Force Institute of Technology • SYS 281, Air Force Acquisition and Sustainment • SYS 400, Current Topics in Acquisition and Sustainment • LOG 499, Logistics Executive Development Seminar • LOG 131, Industrial Maintenance Management • Defense Acquisition University • ASTK Tutorial - Computer Based Training (CBT) https://afkm.wpafb.af.mil/ASPs/Links/LinkHandler.asp?Filter=MC-LG-01-82&GroupID=18862&LinkAddress=https%3a%2f%2facc.dau.mil%2fCommunityBrowser.aspx%3fid%3d235028%26lang%3den-US&LinkID=264401 Next Step: Migration into Enterprise Information System (EIS) • Building ASTK automated workflow – ECD Apr 10

  10. Why LHA? • No day to day standardized mechanism for assessing and measuring logistics planning & execution • Probability of Program Success (PoPS) is a top-level program risk assessment tool • Decision Support Module (DSM) in System Metric & Reporting Tool (SMART) • AFI 63-101 mandates use of PoPS • Addresses Sustainability • No drill down capability for logistics • Logistics/sustainment score counts for as little as 2 points of possible 100 • No historical decision trail and associated impacts LHA fills this void!

  11. What is LHA? • LHA “DOES NOT” • Substitute for strong working relationships • Automate the “Voice of Sustainment” • Draws attention to potential problems - logistics expertise still needed A standard, tailorable, measurable & user friendly logistics health assessment tool • Provides situational awareness and documents mitigation plans • Assists in decision making and program transition • DSM in SMART

  12. LHA MethodologyModules & Points • Three top-level modules with sub-modules • Modules weighted based on product support elements • Numerical rating and RYG color code • Trending information • Module 1: Logistics Requirements & Strategy (30) • Requirements (10) • Product Support Strategy (15) • IMP/IMS (5) • Module 2: Logistics Planning & Execution (50) • Manpower & Personnel (5) ** • Maintenance Planning & Management (5) • Support Equipment (5) • Training (5) • Supply Support (5) • Facilities (5) ** • Technical Data Management/Technical Orders (5) • Computer Resources (5) ** • PHS&T (5) • Design Interface (5) • Module 3: Logistics Support & Interrelationships (20) • Sustaining/System Engineering (5) • Contracting (5) • Budget & Funding (5) • Program Transition (5) ** Can be grayed out to show Not Rated ‘NR’

  13. LHA LHA input generates a “windshield report” • Visual aid for summarizing LHA results

  14. LHA/PoPS Harmonization • Mapped LHA to PoPS • LHA score to feed PoPS sustainment metric - ECD Aug 10

  15. LHA Status LHA Guide developed Incorporated into SMART Sep 2008 Designated as standard risk tool in AFI 63-101, Apr 2009 Air Armament Center & AFSPC/A4/7 mandated usage • Voluntary usage at remaining AFMC Centers Partnering w/AFIT on CBT module development • AFIT SYS 125 LHA CBT - ECD Mar 10 Next Steps: LHA score feed PoPS - SMART Spiral 13 - Aug 10 Codify in policy Implement across AFMC • Based on wide-scale usage, make necessary refinements

  16. Why ILAs? Loss of product support knowledge & expertise Received requests from other services to participate in their ILAs No “independent” look at status of a programs logistics planning and execution

  17. ILA Handbook What is an ILA? Provides a definitive Independent look at product support readiness in preparation for a milestone decision • Tailored Process Based on Program and Milestone • Targets Milestone B, C & FRP

  18. ILA Checklists • Assessment categories evaluated through the use of comprehensive checklists ILA Handbook

  19. ILA Status Voluntary for Air Force Programs Training opportunities • DAU CLL 020, Independent Logistics Assessments • AFIT SYS 279, ILA Assessors Workshop Next Steps: • Continue to assist Centers planning ILAs Update ILA Handbook: • Incorporate AFI 63-101 & DODI 5000.02 changes • Improve alignment to ASTK and LHA

  20. How do all these efforts fit together?

  23. Summary “Give us the tools and we will finish the job” --Winston Churchill ASTK: • Codified in policy • Migrating to EIS environment LHA: • Decision Support Module available in SMART • LHA score to feed PoPS sustainment metric - Aug 10 • Policy / Guidance on usage in work • Training in development ILA: • Handbook developed to assist in conducting ILAs

  24. BACKUPS

  25. Air Force SMART • Collaborative web-based application designed to assist acquisition professionals in defining, managing & reporting program health & status throughout a program's lifecycle • Provides near real time visibility by providing program information adhering to OSD and SAF/AQ policy and business rules • Generates a consistent reporting capability for both: • Defense Acquisition Executive Summary (DAES) to the OSD-level Defense Acquisition Management Information Retrieval (DAMIR) system • Monthly Acquisition Report (MAR) to SAF/AQX. • Air Force acquisition programs report metrics in SMART • Both PoPS and LHA are Decision Support Modules within SMART

  26. Product Support Processes Field Support Manage Capabilities Maintain Products Develop & Acquire Support Design Support Determine Requirements Plan Support Improve Products Retire Products

  27. Product Support • Continuous and collaborative set of activities that establishes & maintains readiness and operational capability of a system, subsystem, or end-item throughout its life cycle • Overarching activity that bridges the acquisition & sustainment phases of a program • Product support strategy is built around the product support elements Ref. AFI 63-101 Acquisition & Sustainment Life Cycle Management, Para 3.88

  28. PoPS AFI 63-101 Acquisition & Sustainment Life Cycle Management mandates use of PoPS PoPS is a top level program risk assessment tool • Forward looking review of factors/metrics contributing to program success • Designed to improve AF’s ability to accurately project program future performance • Predictive model • No drill down capability for logistics • SMART integration June 2008 PoPS assesses programs at five different phases in the program life cycle • Planning • Pre-milestone B • Post-milestone B • Post-milestone C • Sustainment
