Contributors to Success Cont. Mentor Prime on how they must flow the DX rating to their suppliers Daily DCMA presence at production meetings, Field Interface issues and Engineering Change boards MEARS (Multi User Engineering Change Proposal Engineering Review System) training notified QARs real- time on JPO approved changes. Additional Training for contractor on WAWF
Lessons Learned Cell phones are critical for communications with PM, CMOs and Field offices. Visit all critical sites in the process from suppliers to user. Establishing sufficient temporary positions. Need for DCMA only meetings. High visibility program required culture change to get the job done. IT support must prioritize & think out of the box to support effort. 360 involvement. Don’t assume contractor knows best practice.
