Originally created in 1994 at industry request
Chartered by JLC/NASA HQs
Chartered to
Reduce or eliminate system hazardous material requirements: Project Benefits
Avoid duplication of effort: Consensus Building
Reduce technical risk: Stakeholder Ownership
Transfer technology: Documentation
Leverage opportunities, reduce costs: Cost Control
Dual focus on uniform implementation
Acquisition (Contractor design) and sustainment community (Depot) needs
Manufacturing and maintenance processes
For those of you not familiar with the JG-PP, it is a flag officer level body from the services, NASA and DLA chartered by the Joint Logistics Commanders in 1994.
As you see the charter, there is a focus on avoiding duplication of efforts in P2 projects.
The JG-PP origins lay within the acquisition community, both in the program offices and the OEMs. From the P2 perspective, the aim is to harmonize processes used in the development of a weapon system with those used to sustain the system once it has been deployed.

V. Implementation
III. Alternatives Testing
Funding Agreements
JG-PP applies a Six-Phase Methodology on each project to implement material or process changes at Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or depot/maintenance facilities.
Methodology is flexible to account for different needs of OEMs, programs, and depots
Provides technical and business support and facilitates the projects
Assists in identifying resources for validation testing of alternatives
Target – continuous process Inner Circle – Project Cycle Outer Circle - Products
Phase 1 – Identification Products: Joint 1-N needs list
- Participants select target hazardous material(s)
- Obtain contractor/program managers agreement to participate
Phase 2 – Technical/Business Products: JTP, Stakeholder Buy-in, PAR, CBA
- Define performance requirements Joint Test Protocol (JTP) report; Identify alternatives to hazardous material(s) usage; Obtain consensus among stakeholders
- Determine who benefits from the project; Identify sources of funding; Develop plan to satisfy project expenses
Phase 3 - Alternatives Testing Products: JTR
- Validate alternative(s) (lab testing/field demonstration )
Phase 4 - Process Change/Authorization Products: Authorization Letter, Manual/Spec Changes
For industry, changes not required if material/process change satisfies performance requirements specified in contract; DCMS Single Process Initiative can execute a change modification (block change) for changes to single/multiple contracts as required.
Each Program Office/Depot process owner is responsible for issuing approval for change to material and application within their respective manufacturing and maintenance processes
Process Change Authorization - OEMs will utilize the Single Process Initiative (SPI) block change process or performance based specifications to modify contracts for implementation across all affected systems and components.
Depots will utilize their respective service/agency change mechanism for implementation.
Phase 5 - Implement alternative(s) Product: Technology Transfer
Implementation plan, follow-up on transition for success stories/issues/concerns
Phase 6 – Evaluation/Feedback
- Review effectiveness and inefficiencies of process and identify new areas for improvements
