3. What is a Working Capital Fund? • The WCF is a Financing Mechanism • Artificial economic construct designed to replicate market forces in the management of supply • Materiel Buy, Materiel Repair, and Overhead Cost of Operations • Used to manage a subset of assets severed from O&M environment • Budget Code 8 – Reparable Spares (consumables by exception) • A closed system in which all income is derived from its operations and is available to finance the Fund’s continuing operations without fiscal year limitations • Financial resources to permit continuing operations are generated by the acceptance of customer orders – Sales • Key Concept: Unlike appropriated funds, a revolving fund temporarily holds gains and losses – the key to its flexibility

4. History:Revolving Funds • Since 1870 the U.S. military has used two primary types of revolving funds—stock funds and industrial funds • Originally, two types of revolving funds (financed primarily by reimbursements from customers' appropriated accounts): • Stock Funds ‐ for supplies, fuel, food, etc. • Industrial Funds ‐ for maintenance, overhaul, repair, and modification of weapon systems and components, etc. • Defense Business Operations Fund (DBOF) was established October1991under authority of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 2208 • Merged existing stock and industrial funds and added five defense commercial operations • USD(C) disestablished the DBOF on December 1996 and established the Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF) • Changed the names, but not the concepts • Consolidated nine funds into four

5. Authority of Title 10, USC 2208 • To control and account more effectively for the cost of programs and work performed in the Department of Defense, the Secretary of Defense may require the establishment of working-capital funds in the Department of Defense to: • (1) finance inventories of such supplies as he may designate • (2) provide working capital for such industrial-type activities, and such commercial-type activities that provide common services within or among departments and agencies of the Department of Defense, as he may designate

6. Scope and Purpose • CSAG Supply is primarily responsible for Air Force‐managed, Depot‐level reparable spares and consumable spares unique to the Air Force (Budget Code 8) • In addition to management of these inventories, the Supply Division provides a wide range of logistics support services • requirements forecasting • item introduction • cataloging • provisioning • technical support • data management • item disposal • distribution management and transportation

17. WCF Does NOT Get Funds To OperateWe Get Authority to Spend • CSAG-S operates with Contract Authority • It authorizes you to spend to the limit approved in your PB • When you submitted your budget, you asked for authority to spend to a limit defined by your workload • Not directly limited by congressional appropriation or CRA; allows uninterrupted operation • The exceptions: we gets real appropriated $ for: • Capital Purchases / Capital Investment Program

18. Appropriated Cash vs. AFWCF Cash • Dollar for Dollar – cash is aligned to the appropriated Obligation Authority distributed • AFWCF cash is independent from AFWCF Obligation Authority Obligation Authority Treasury Warrant AFWCF Contract Authority Treasury Warrant AFWCF cash has to be earned!

19. AFWCF Sales to Cash • Revenue from: • Cash from Sales • Advanced Billings • Appropriated Infusion 7-10 Days • Expenses: • Operations Costs • Investment Costs • Finished Goods/Services • Repair Costs • Inventory Costs • Leakage From: • Rework • Prices too low • Too much inventory • Internal Cost Over-Runs

20. AFWCF Cash Flow Philosophy • Maintain “cash corpus” to cover current disbursements and future Capital expenditures • Maintain a positive cash balance to preclude an Antideficiency Act violation • Target to maintain at least 7‐10 days operating cash • Prices are set to recoup the cost of the item plus inventory/administration costs, AOR recovery, and to adjust cash

21. NOR & AOR • NOR – Net Operating Result • Gains or losses from operations in a given year • In business, NOR is considered Net Profit or Net Loss • NOR = Revenue – Expenses • AOR – Accumulated Operating Result • Cumulative profits or losses across time • Target is ZERO • Positive AOR is returned to customer as a rate reduction • Negative AOR is recouped with a rate increase or cost cuts • Rates are set two years out based on forecastedrevenue, expenses, NOR, and AOR

22. Common TopicsSequestration Impact on WCF REVENUE CUTS: Flying Hours Cuts Associated reduction in customer O&M Funding Decrease in CSAG-S Sales • OBLIGATION CUTS: • Civilian Pay • Contract Funding • Supplies • Travel • Materiel Buy & Repair • Revenue from: • Cash from Sales • Advanced Billings • Appropriated Infusion • EXPENSE CUTS: • Obligations are not Expenditures • <15% Materiel Buy • <20% Materiel Repair • ≈100% Overhead • OPTIONS: • CSAG-M Advanced Billings • Appropriated Infusion • Prior Year Pass Through • Appropriated Infusion • DoD 7000.14-R, Vol 2B 7-10 Days • Expenses: • Operations Costs • Investment Costs • Finished Goods/Services • Repair Costs • Inventory Costs • Leakage From: • Rework • Prices too low • Too much inventory • Internal Cost Over-Runs • DANGER: • 31 USC 1517 ADA • Subdivision

23. Common TopicsPoint of Sale CSAG-S • Assets “belong” to CSAG-S until they leave wholesales and retail supply • Point of sale is when assets are issued out of supply • Customers (yellow) must buy the assets from supply • These sales replenish the WCF • Customers are billed and funds obligated at the time of the order • Customer funds are expended when the assets are delivered • AFGLSC does not guarantee prices across fiscal years • Customers must budget reserves sufficient to pay for assets at the price in force upon delivery Revenue Wholesale Inventory Control Point Other Service/Agencies Sale / Issue Retail Depot/Base Supply Revenue Sale / Issue Customer 23

24. Common TopicsFree Issues • Free issues of assets are potential lost sales that threaten to prevent full reimbursement of the Working Capital Fund • Without full reimbursement through sales the WCF moves toward insolvency • According to AFMAN 23-110, V1, P3, C7, section 7.10.3, the following circumstances are the only USD(C) approved reasons for Free Issue • Civil emergency relieve assistance or certified military emergency • Foreign disaster according to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 • Excess assets supporting deficiencies in mobilization requirements when authorized by the comptroller of the Air Force (SAF/FM) • Wholesales IM transfers to DRMO • Free issues are intended to be extremely limited 24

25. Summary • The AFWCF is a revolving fund that: • Focuses management and work force attention on: • Full cost recovery • Full cost visibility • The AFWCF temporarily holds gains and losses • Incur losses greater than budgeted ‐ recover them through increased rates • Produce gain greater than budgeted ‐ gains returned through lower rates in future • Programmed losses and gains are a normal business practice

26. Global Logistics – Warfighter Focus

27. Common TopicsPrices and Credits • The price applied to the transaction is dependent on the WCF relationship with the customer • Exchange Price customers are those with a system designed to track the turn-in of the carcass • DIFM process • Air Force MAJCOMs • Exchange agreement with the WCF • Standard Price customers are those that are expected not to turn in a carcass • Typically lacking access to the Standard Base Supply System • Foreign Military Sales • Other Services • Credit Returns are only paid for turn-in of serviceable assets • NIMSC - PICA/SICA transactions are an exception • The turn-in of an unserviceable assets simply allows the purchase of a serviceable asset at Exchange Price vs. the higher Standard Price 27

28. Common TopicsLoans of MSD Assets • Loan process governed by the AFMC Loan/Lease Desk Guide • MSD assets may only be loaned for purposes specified in DoD 7000.14R • Reverse engineering • Sample parts • When in the best interest of CSAG-S • Shall not exceed one calendar year • Shall not include consumable assets ERRC “N” • Shall be returned in the same condition as loaned • Return packaging and shipping is the responsibility of the recipient of the loan 28

29. Foundation of Prices G004L MISTR G019C D200N D043 CAV-AF • Latest Acquisition Cost (LAC) is the price paid for an item the last time it was procured • Latest Repair Cost (LRC) is the weighted average of the latest repair costs from CSAG‐MX and Contractor repair facilities D200N IPS does not price: Iterative Items SICA Items NC/ND Items

30. Cost Recovery Rates • Two Types Cost Recovery • Business Overhead Cost Recovery (BOCR) • Overhead Expenses + Cash Adjustment • Materiel Cost Recovery (MCR) • This recovery of re-procurement costs primarily funds the replacement of items expected to be condemned • Same Surcharge Factors for all Items • All customers pay share of business operations costs • More Stable CSAG‐Supply Prices • Flat surcharges reduce volatility • Repair cost volatility still exists

31. Prices • Standard Price • Price charged to customer that will not return an unserviceable asset for depot repair • SP = LAC + BOCR @ LAC • Exchange Price • Price charged up front to Due in for Maintenance (DIFM)/DOTM customers • Other agencies through agreement with AFWCF • Usual Air Force customers that track and return recoverable assets for repair • EP = LRC + BOCR @ LRC + MCR @ LRC

32. Purpose of Pricing • The primary purpose of the price setting process is to recover CSAG‐Supply’s costs from its customers • Repair Costs • Buy Costs • Overhead Costs • CSAG‐Supply charges materiel costs, then spreads overhead costs across all items based on forecasted sales to customers • The intent of the CSAG‐Supply pricing methodology is to neither lose money nor make a profit • Out year adjustments are made to return profits or recover losses
