Virtual Space Logistics Readiness Center (VSLRC) Kickoff Meeting 8 October 2002
Introduction of Team • Northrop Grumman Defense Enterprise Solutions • Lonna Dumouchel: Program Manager • Laura Kistler: Functional Lead • Greg Golden: Technical Lead • Dymond Associates Inc.: Consultant
Company Overview • THIS SLIDE AND THE NEXT SHOULD PRESENT RATHER GENERAL, HIGH LEVEL INFORMATION • IT SHOULD NOT BE PERCEIVED AS AMARKETING PITCH • THIS IS A BIG “HOT BUTTON” FOR THE LAB
Company Overview (Cont’d) • Quantitative and Strategic Analysis • Operations Research • Statistical Analysis • Business Process Reengineering • Cost/Benefit Analysis • Functional Economic Analysis • Information Technology • Systems Analysis and Design • Software Development • Database Management Modeling and Simulation • Process Modeling • Analytical & Decision • Support Tools • Logistics Simulations
Technical Approach Problem Identification • No near real time, secure, web-enabled means for data exchange and display • Need to obtain visibility of status of space system assets for accurate decision making and reporting • Need to capture logistics and operations processes, policies, and systems as they evolve • Need an architectural solution to support EAF, cross-functional C2 objectives • Scaleable • Interoperable
Technical ApproachUsers/Customers • HQ AFSPC/LGZ/LGX/LGM/LGS/SC • 14 AF/LG • Det 11SSMs • SMC/AX • OO-ALC/LH • HQ AFMC/DR
Technical ApproachGoals/Objectives • Improved visibility of operational and logistical status through advanced information composition • Architecture to support near and long-term solutions • Legacy and evolving systems • AF Logistics/C2 requirements (current and future)
Technical ApproachTechnical Challenges • Access to data systems, interfaces and databases • Access to key system users (experts)
Technical Approach to Solution • Iterative, spiral development techniques used • Develop CONOPS (high level) • Depict VSLRC functional, system and reporting requirements • Data system and process analysis • Questionnaires used for in-depth focus • Interviews with SMEs • Det 11 interviews • Identify “holes/buckets” • Will work with UDRI on recommendations • Technological infrastructure overview • Size,scale and scope of operations
Technical Approach to Solution (Cont’d) • Develop CONOPS (Cont’d) • ROI Analysis • Jointly define metrics and cost elements • Describe non-tangible benefits of VSLRC • Identify strengths, weaknesses, risks • Validate with AFSPC • Balanced Scorecard Approach (BCA) • Identify applicability to requirements • Identify performance measurements/mgmt objectives • Recommendations for incorporation into VSLRC
Technical Approach to Solution (Cont’d) • Functional requirements managed with Rational Requisite Pro • Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) • Use Cases • Map within documentation requirements
Technical Approach to Solution (Cont’d) • Requirements Traceability Matrix
Technical Approach to Solution (Cont’d) Requirements View
Technical Approach to Solution (Cont’d) Documented Requirements and Mapping
Technical Approach to Solution (Cont’d) • Conceptual Demonstration • Slide presentation (only) to avoid resource drain • Data representation • Functional requirements representation • Maximize efficiencies • Cross functional • IT architecture/recommendation • Consistent and interoperable w/AF and DOD standards
Technical Approach Major Milestones • Functional Requirements Identification • Technological Alternatives • Return on Investment (ROI) • Final Program Review • Conceptual Demonstration • Final Technical Report
Technical ApproachProgress Measurement • MS Project detailed baseline schedule • Program Reviews • Monthly Status Reports (MSRs) • Funds and Man-Hour Expenditure Report • Internal contract progress/status reviews by Corporate Leads
Technical Approach Exit Criteria • Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) • Baseline Cost of Work Performed (BCWP) • Conceptual Demonstration
Planned Travel • DC to Dayton – KickOff Mtng • DC to LA – Data Collection • Dayton to LA – Data Collection • DC to OO-ALC – Site Survey • Dayton to CO – Data Collection and Progress Review • DC to CO (2 trips) – Data Collection and Progress Review Further travel requirements will be performed within contract cost/funding provided
Risks • Management • Cost • Schedule • Technical • Data Access Requirements • Access to personnel (SMEs) for interviews • Risk Abatement Strategy • Leverage off of already existing studies/reports • Use management tools to monitor progress • Report any shortfalls in receiving access to data required to AFRL/HESS and associated impact to effort
Potential Benefits/Payoffs • First iteration in depicting VSLRC rqmnts (CONOPs) • Data system reduction • Advanced technological infrastructure • Improve Supply Chain Management (SCM) and LRC objectives • Performance Management/ Measurement goals identified and implemented • Conceptual demonstration of possibilities • Return On Investment (ROI) • Sound business case for “marketing” of VSLRC concept to senior leadership
