ASNE – Tidewater Chapter BriefUS Coast Guard Maintenance Support Transformation RADM Ron Rábago, USCG Chief Engineer, Assistant Commandant for Engineering and Logistics (CG-4) March 19, 2014
Naval Engineering Challenges • Expanding mission requirements & increased op tempo (more days at sea) • Maintaining mission readiness with declining resource environment • Bring newer assets into service & integrate their more complex maintenance needs into fleet-wide processes • Significantly aging fleet
CG Maintenance Support Transformation • Represents an overarching strategy to build on our Service's strengths • 6-part formula is used to measure progress of logistics transformation - Reorganizing into Product Lines - Building the asset’s Integrated Baseline - Enrolling in the Electronic Asset Log (EAL) - Generating the asset class Allowance List - Centralizing Maintenance Funds - Pushing Parts to the Fleet
Product Lines Organized Into CG Business Model Product Line Management - Keystone of 4 Cornerstones SFLC Product Lines are organized around the Business Model
Product Line FleetSupport Model Product Lines interface with the Fleet Shared Service Div’s support Product Lines SFLC PRODUCT LINES - Single Fleet Touchpoint; - Manage all Maintenance Funds SHARED SERVICE DIVs - Subject Matter Experts - Set Std Processes for PLs FLEET SUPPORT REQUEST • Engineering Branch • Std Cutter/Boat Config + Changes • Maint. Procedures & Casualty Repairs • Maintenance Cost per Operating Hr • Engineering Services; • Business Ops; • Procurement • Supply Branch • Inventory Management • Requisitions & Replenishment • Asset Logistics; • Business Ops; • Procurement • Program Depot Maint. Br • Availability Planning • Availability Execution • Industrial Ops; • Engineering Services; • Procurement
Knowledge Management (Officer / Enlisted / Civilian) • NAVAL ENGINEERING OFFICERS: • - Depot maintenance planning, supply support, • engineering services, business operations, • metrics, & contract management • ENLISTED: • - Organic tech reps, maintenance augmentation • teams, engineer petty officers, & Command • Master/Senior Chiefs • CIVILIANS: • - SMEs Naval Arch & Marine Engineering, future • tech warrant holders, & geographically distributed • workforce
Centers of Excellence • U.S. Coast Guard Yard • - Organic Ship Repair and Overhaul Facility • National Industrial Enterprise • - Predominantly Civilian Workforce Providing Depot-Level Support to Meet Operational Requirements & Contingencies for Surface and Shore Assets, & Aids to Navigation • Project Resident Offices • - Technical Authority • - Ship Design Team 9
Product Line Focus - Maintenance Cost Per Op Hr*(* Note: MCPOH ≠ Total CPOH) Maintenance Cost Per Op Hour Primary Purpose: Determine when the rising cost on maintenance justifies SLEP or recapitalization of an asset (AKA: “bathtub curve”). As assets get older they cost more to maintain. Years in Service
Results of Maintenance Support Transformation • Better mission support enterprise - Product Line Management • CFO Audit unqualified opinion in 2013 - “Clean bill of Health” • Improved contracting - 170+ Multi Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) & Multi Year / Multi Ship (MYMS) / Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quality (IDIQ) contracts in FY10-13 • Meaningful metrics - SFLC Annual Report
Way Forward On Transformation • Increased centralization of funds • Improved metrics to enable better decision making • Strengthen & mature Product Line Management across the fleet & other Mission Support elements • More efficient enterprise management • Smooth Transition Acquisition to Sustainment
Fleet Sustainment & Modernization • Non-linear Finite Element Analysis • define loading capacity of deformed, corroded hull structure • Operator Guidance System • display real-time quantitative data on hull deflection/stress for risk analysis • 3D Laser Scan • survey local & global hull deformations • In Service Vessel Sustainment • WMEC, WLB, WTGB, MLB • New Acquisitions • NSC, FRC, OPC, RBM
In Service Vessel Sustainment Mission Effectiveness Program (MEP) • 270’ WMEC Midlife Maintenance Availability (MMA) • 225’ WLB • 87’ WPB • Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) • EAGLE (67 years) • 140’ WTGB (34 years) • 47’ MLB (17 years)
New Acquisitions FRC 3 FRC 1 FRC 4 CGC Bertholf CGC Waesche FRC 5 FRC 6 CGC Stratton • 418’ NSCs – 3 delivered • 154’ FRCs – 7 delivered • OPC Phase 1 Award Feb 2014 • RBM 147 out of 170 delivered NSC 6 NSC 5 OPC FRC 2 NSC 4 FRC 7 Continuous Recapitalization Commissioning Timeline 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016
Polar Star Reactivation Project USCGC POLAR STAR (WAGB-10) conducting ice-trials in the Arctic post-reactivation (August 2013)
Reactivation Project Overview • POLAR STAR was at the end of her • service life (Commissioned in 1976) and • in caretaker status since 2006. • $90 million, 3-year industrial project • executed through a Multi-Ship Multi-Option • (MSMO) contract with Vigor (formerly Todd • Pacific) Shipyards in Seattle, WA. • Major upgrades to propulsion, auxiliary • and mission systems; and completion of • more than 5-years of backlogged • maintenance. POLAR STAR entering Vigor Shipyard dry-dock (January 2011)
