Problems in the Current Work Control Process Problem Area – Inadequate Expertise Generating WAF = Inefficiency + Low Quality
Problems in the Current Work Control Process Problem Area – This review is done with paper and “sneaker net” = SLOW - Review burdens first line supervisors = no supervision of work - Change churns the process significantly sending paper back to C305/400
Problems in the Current Work Control Process Problem Area – Cycle Time is 2.5 days at best – not acceptable for an FMA
Current Go Forward Plan • Make C305 more Robust • Increase military and civilian manning • Hire core civilians • Co-locate in trailers by drydock with project teams • Standardize WAFs to eventually eliminate Shop Reviews (currently 10% done) • Transition to Electronic WAF/WP
Limitations with Current Go Forward Plan • Budget Realities and FTE limitations • Enlisted billets difficult to obtain • Poor QOL for sailors in C305 • Process would still be lacking • No Cell Concept/Lack of Flow • NOT HIGHLY LEANED
New Concept of Operations Developed • Goals: • Streamline Process • Accelerate Work Authorization to the shops • Minimize Shop Supervision time reviewing WAFs • Maintain and Build on Current Best Practices • Prevent Further Degradation of Trade Work Force (minimize FTEs) • Break Down Department Barriers • Develop Strong Project Management/Schedule Link to Planning Products
Benefits C420 has invested significant time in a particular AWR – generating the WAF from the AWR is minor (5 minutes) Consistent with other FMAs LEAN • Embedded Element Tasked to: • Assist in WAF Development • Tie Project Schedules to Planning Products • Complete Master WAF DB • Maintain CIM Database • Continue Master/Bundled WAFs • Conduct LWC/AWC reviews • Expand Proj Mgmt Concepts Other Benefits – Reduces Pressure on C305 manning, Probably no need for Trailer City (further thought required), Doubles TOT presence on ships, Improved QOL
C305 Embedded Element Embedded Element Staffing: 3 SMEs acting in Proj Sup Like Capacity 1 LCPO 2 MMs 2 FT/ET 2 additional personnel Qualified and Designated to: Sign for LWC/AWC concurrence Authority based on experience/quals
What I need • Re-direct current plans for LEAN in C305 • Efforts should focus on Flow/Layout: • C420 + C305 WP Element Area • C305 TOT Area • This will have a cost associated with it • Use trailer money! • No New Billets • Fast Implementation (needs to be fully functioning in December to support new year workload)
