  1. Air Force Materiel Command Reconstituting the Life Cycle Logistics (LCL) (Acquisition) Workforce Ms. Sherry Ott HQ AFMC/A4 9 May 08 Integrity  Service  Excellence

  2. Purpose To inform you on the Air Force Life Cycle Logistics (Acquisition) Workforce reconstitution initiative

  3. Overview Background Objective Boundary Conditions On-going Workforce Development Efforts A3 Problem Solving Event Events Summary Approved Recommendations

  4. Background AFMC/CA Tasker “The Acquisition Logistics Workforce has eroded: Evaluate the Health of the Acquisition Logistics Workforce & fix it!” Reference: ILA briefing with CA, 12 Oct 07

  5. Objective Develop and “right-size” the Life Cycle Logistics (LCL) (Acq) Workforce engaged in system acquisition, with the competencies, skills and management support necessary to translate and design warfighter performance requirements into tailored, affordable, effective product support spanning the entire system life cycle Translating warfighter performance requirements into tailored product support spanning the system life cycle

  6. Boundary Conditions • Focus on 346 series / AFSC 21XX (officer) & 2XXXX (enlisted) personnel involved in logistics planning activities during weapon system / subsystem acquisition without regard to: • Geographic location / Product and Air Logistics Centers • New or fielded system Product Support Competencies Program Management & Planning Product Support Integration Supply Management Maintenance Planning & Management Deployed Distribution / Transportation Manpower, Personnel & Training Requirements Planning Use as template for other LCL competencies

  7. On-going Workforce Development Efforts DoD Logistics Human Capital Strategic (HCS) Plan Integrated Life Cycle Management Product Support (ILCMPS)

  9. Event Champion: Mr. Tim Dues, HQ AFMC/A4 Event Leader: Ms. Sherry Ott, HQ AFMC/A4A Consultant: Mr. Bill Budden, HQ DLA AFSO21 A3 LCL (Acq) Workforce Development Event 19-22 Feb 08 Attendees AFPC Nancy VanEvera, DPIAA (rep by AF/A4R & AF/A4M) OSD Carol Conrad, ATL Leslie Reed, SCI Others Bill Kobren, DAU Joe Vinskey, AFIT/LSB Sandra Meckley, DLA Bernadette Whitehead, DLA AFMC Marc Caudill (Col), A1X Judy Lloyd, A1DC Jerry Willoughby, A1MC Luanne Handley-Blair, A5P Joan Cole, A5P Brenda Robinson, A4A SAF Michelle Trigg (Lt Col), AQXD Cristie Ditzler-Smith, ACPO Mark VanGilst, IEL Debbie Inman, IEL AF Linda Sny, A4RF Jean Martin, A4MM Product Centers Judy McCoy, ASC/516 AESW Eilanna Price, ASC/77 AESW Charleen Carlson, ASC/AEPL Ed Herger, ESC/AQL Terry Brinston, AAC/EN Logistics Centers Bob Valdez, OC-ALC/747 ACSG Dave Robitaille, OC-ALC/XPQ Jeanette Bonnell, OO-ALC/DPD Joann Berrett, OO-ALC/507 CBSS/CL Janet Tremelling, OO-ALC/558 ACSG Kathy Gochenour, WR-ALC/XP Facilitator: Mr. George Falldine, Simpler

  10. Clarify & Validate the Problem 1 Problem: The LCL (Acq) workforce responsiblefor ensuring supportability: 1. Is not effectively used during system acquisition (most critically prior to Milestone B); and, 2. Is not effectively managed and resourced* to ensure availability of people proficient in the necessary LCL competencies impacting supportability of fielded systems. Impact: Lack of supportability planning and failure to acquire required support can potentially drive up cost and degrade system availability and performance *Resources / Resourced includes workforce facets such as tools, training, skill sets, experience, numbers, locations etc.

  11. Breakdown of Problems 2 4 Problems Identified 10 Problems Identified 7 Problems Identified 26 Problems Identified 7 Problems Identified

  12. Identify Performance Gaps - Examples 2 • Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations & Warfighter Urgent Needs entering inventory without support • Lack of spares and funding when fielded • Inadequate Diminishing Manufacturing Sources / Obsolescence planning • ALCs unable to accept transition of systems due to lack of required planning / resources

  13. Set Improvement Targets 3 • Cost, schedule, performance and supportability valued equally • Active LCL senior champion advocating for LCL • Proficient logisticians in all acquisition phases • LCL Workforce right sized - properly coded • Standard analytical tools

  14. Determine root causes 4 2 Root Causes Identified 4 Root Causes Identified 1 Root Cause Identified 4 Root Causes Identified 2 Root Causes Identified

  19. Summary • Conducted initial problem solving event (AFSO21 A3) • Defined problem statement, boundaries & proposed focus areas • Developed charter • Right players involved • Way ahead established • AFMC/CA (Mrs. Westgate) & AF/A4/7 (Mr. Aimone) approved IPT recommendations

  20. Approved Recommendations • AFMC/CA & AF/A4/7 co-champion initiative • Approve problem statement: • The Air Force LCL (Acq) Workforce responsiblefor ensuring supportability: • Is not effectively used during system acquisition (most critically prior to Milestone B) and, • Is not effectively managed and resourced to ensure availability of people proficient in the necessary LCL competencies impacting supportability of fielded systems. • Approve boundary conditions: • Focus on 346 series / AFSC 21XX (officer) & 2XXXX (enlisted) personnel involved in logistics planning activities during weapon system / subsystem acquisition without regard to: • Geographic location / Product and Air Logistics Centers • New or fielded system • Concur with focus areas: • Culture & Organization, Policy Processes & Tools, Workforce Development • Formally Charter IPT(s) to continue initiative • Concur this is subset of the ILCM PS Strategy Initiative • Provide funding / resources for initiative • Need to develop compliance & metrics as part of action plans
