3. Setting The Stage USSOCOM J4 Vision: End State:
Become a data-first organization, driven by decision-quality data, that exceeds the speed of war
End State:
Develop an enterprise solution that supports accountability, auditability and financial reporting while seamlessly transacting with all customers and their respective accountability, maintenance and supply systems

6. Often Overlooked, But Critical
Assumptions
Everyone must approach implementation with a "can-do" attitude
Avoid day-to-day operational interruptions during DPAS implementation
No new, unique or additive processes or documentation
DPAS is free… but system modification funding ensures SOF requirements are fast-tracked
Often Overlooked, But Critical

DPAS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
DPAS Implementation done “right”
Catalog scrub, making configuration management decisions
Program SMEs are hip-to-hip with the inventory team so that materiel sorting and determination occurs real-time
Repackaging materiel when appropriate, accurately recording SNs and completing daily reconciliations
NOT storing obsolete materiel, storing the same materiel in multiple locations or storing items for DEMIL in DPAS.
Schedule preservation is secondary to doing it "right"... not right now
Strategy Requiring Clean Data and Accurate Inventories Drives Cost,
Not the Tool

10. Wrap Up
Setting the Stage
Becoming a data-first organization, driven by decision-quality data, does not happen overnight; do not outsource your thinking
DPAS implementation as both APSR and property management tool is unprecedented but not impossible with vision, planning, buy-in, and intestinal fortitude

13. Purpose
Provide SOF AT&L PM & PSM with objective sustainment data and associated analysis and recommendations for PM consideration and execution
Identify programmatic opportunities to (a) reduce increasing sustainment Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs, in order to (b) re-purpose O&M cost savings/avoidances into RDT&E funding for new warfighter materiel investments
Develop SOF AT&L capability to report ‘SOF Sustainment Readiness” to the HQ USSOCOM Commander
Identify standard readiness metric(s) for SOF AT&L programs
Candidate: Readiness Reportable Equipment, On-Hand (DRRS-S)
Candidate: Materiel Availability (Am)
Candidate: Capability Fielding Schedule/Cost Assessment

14. Problem Statement Purpose Problem Statement Timeline
Setting the Stage
SOF AT&L requires the capability to:
Collect objective sustainment and readiness data across the portfolio of SOF programs;
Cleanse sustainment data for effective use;
Apply standard sustainment and readiness metrics across the SOF portfolio (as applicable);
Analyze sustainment strategies for performance; and
Provide recommendations for optimizing each program’s sustainment strategy to right-size O&M budgets
Enterprise Analytics Environment (EAE)
Provide SOF AT&L Decision Makers with objective, data-driven decision- making information, via program analytics and recommendations
