CAD/PAD Requirements Determination Lee Manis USN/USMC CAD/PAD APML 19 May 2015

Requirements Determination Model (RDM) The RDM schedules procurements and maintenance (rework) to sustain CAD/PAD inventories just-in-time to meet the maintainer’s needs Procure/rework annually Provide minimum assets for forward stock and squadron emergency needs Acquire emergency stock in arrears, whenever possible [USN/MC approach] Retain minimal “pipeline” stock to cover for late deliveries

Approach Forecasts CAD/PAD requirements considering Available global inventory Funded production and maintenance due-ins Supports congressionally-authorized aircraft inventories Uses current installed asset data and technical data

Approach cont’d Simulates aircraft/equipment maintenance thru the budget period Employs predicted usage data for stores release CADs to meet the Warfighter’s needs Establishes annual requirements considering variable lead-times Lead-times range from 18-36 months

Planning Process RDM calculations annually January model run supports next fiscal year procurement Budget reviewed and finalized by mid-March Procurement Data Packages (PDPs) prepared by May Consolidated Purchase Requests (PRs) submitted May thru July Contract awards begin as early in buy year as possible

What This Means to You Accuracy dependent on good input data Inventory Installed assets Maintenance/deployment scheduling Just-in-time ordering Discrepancy reporting Non-DoD customers must establish and fund CAD/PAD purchases by 1 April Late orders execute stand-alone or a year later Limited USN/MC and USAF assets available for loan
