1. Integrity  Service  Excellence Life Cycle Management Tools Sherry Ott HQ AFMC/A4UA 15 Jan 10 (DSN 787-2801) Air Force Materiel Command

2. 2 Purpose Provide an overview of AFMC’s Life Cycle Management suite of integrated tools Acquisition Sustainment Tool Kit (ASTK) Logistics Health Assessment (LHA) Independent Logistics Assessment (ILA)

3. 3 Why ASTK? Acquisition Logistics - fundamental problems –Erosion of acquisition logistics expertise/skill set –Loss of structured approach (MIL STDs, 800 series regs) –Inconsistent processes –Newly fielded systems experiencing supportability problems (i.e. predator)

4. 4 A tool that facilitates up-front planning −Can help anyone working daily acq sustainment tasks Targeted at the GS-12 level −Contains Product Support (PS) ProcessesProcesses Pre-Milestone A - Disposal Defines specific PS tasks to be worked on a programPS Consists of: −AS Process Matrix −AS Checklists −AS Kneepad Checklist What is the ASTK?

5. 5 ASTK Process Matrix Product Support process road map –Tasks listed Pre-Milestone A thru Disposal –Contains hyperlinks to supporting checklists

6. 6 ASTK Checklists Supplements specific PS support tasks embedded within the AS Process Matrix Aligned to Task ID # on Processes Matrix and Logistics Process Flow Process Descriptions Subtasks Links to source documentation Entrance Criteria Exit Criteria

7. 7 ASTK Kneepad Checklist Convenient, downloadable, PS reference booklet −Contains synopsis of each process in the AS Process Matrix −Includes AS Checklists in an appendix for quick & easy reference 1 Aug 09

8. ASTK Usage 8 Oct 08 SAE Guidance Memorandum: …“Effective immediately, the AS Tool Kit will be used by all Air Force acquisition programs as a tool to aid their program planning and management activities”… 10 Dec 08 AFMC/CC Follow-on Memorandum … “I personally endorse use of the AS Tool Kit and will measure AFMC implementation through Unit Compliance Inspections (UCI)”… 8 AFI 63-101, Acq & Sustainment Life Cycle Mgmt, 17 Apr 09 3.88.1…“The PM will use the AS Tool Kit as an aid to facilitate product support/sustainment planning and management throughout the life cycle of the program”

9. ASTK Status Codified in policy - AFI 63-101, AFPAM 63-128 Training opportunities −Air Force Institute of Technology SYS 281, Air Force Acquisition and Sustainment SYS 400, Current Topics in Acquisition and Sustainment LOG 499, Logistics Executive Development Seminar LOG 131, Industrial Maintenance Management –Defense Acquisition University ASTK Tutorial - Computer Based Training (CBT) https://afkm.wpafb.af.mil/ASPs/Links/LinkHandler.asp?Filter=MC-LG-01- 82&GroupID=18862&LinkAddress=https%3a%2f%2facc.dau.mil%2fCommunityBr owser.aspx%3fid%3d235028%26lang%3den-US&LinkID=264401 Next Step: Migration into Enterprise Information System (EIS) −Building ASTK automated workflow – ECD Apr 10 9

10. 10 No day to day standardized mechanism for assessing and measuring logistics planning & execution –Probability of Program Success (PoPS) is a top-level program risk assessment toolPoPS Decision Support Module (DSM) in System Metric & Reporting Tool (SMART)SMART AFI 63-101 mandates use of PoPS Addresses Sustainability –No drill down capability for logistics –Logistics/sustainment score counts for as little as 2 points of possible 100 –No historical decision trail and associated impacts Why LHA? LHA fills this void!

11. What is LHA? A standard, tailorable, measurable & user friendly logistics health assessment tool –Provides situational awareness and documents mitigation plans –Assists in decision making and program transition –DSM in SMART 11 LHA “DOES NOT” –Substitute for strong working relationships –Automate the “Voice of Sustainment” Draws attention to potential problems - logistics expertise still needed

12. 12 LHA Methodology Modules & Points Module 1: Logistics Requirements & Strategy (30) –Requirements (10) –Product Support Strategy (15) –IMP/IMS (5) Module 2: Logistics Planning & Execution (50) –Manpower & Personnel (5) ** –Maintenance Planning & Management (5) –Support Equipment (5) –Training (5) –Supply Support (5) –Facilities (5) ** –Technical Data Management/Technical Orders (5) –Computer Resources (5) ** –PHS&T (5) –Design Interface (5)  Module 3: Logistics Support & Interrelationships (20) –Sustaining/System Engineering (5) –Contracting (5) –Budget & Funding (5) –Program Transition (5) ** Can be grayed out to show Not Rated ‘NR’ Three top-level modules with sub-modules Modules weighted based on product support elements –Numerical rating and RYG color code –Trending information

13. LHA input generates a “windshield report” –Visual aid for summarizing LHA results 13 LHA

14. Mapped LHA to PoPS −LHA score to feed PoPS sustainment metric - ECD Aug 10 14 LHA/PoPS Harmonization

15. LHA Status LHA Guide developed Incorporated into SMART Sep 2008 Designated as standard risk tool in AFI 63-101, Apr 2009 Air Armament Center & AFSPC/A4/7 mandated usage Voluntary usage at remaining AFMC Centers Partnering w/AFIT on CBT module development AFIT SYS 125 LHA CBT - ECD Mar 10 Next Steps: LHA score feed PoPS - SMART Spiral 13 - Aug 10 Codify in policy Implement across AFMC –Based on wide-scale usage, make necessary refinements 15

16. Why ILAs? Loss of product support knowledge & expertise Received requests from other services to participate in their ILAs No “independent” look at status of a programs logistics planning and execution 16

17. 17 Provides a definitive Independent look at product support readiness in preparation for a milestone decision Tailored Process Based on Program and Milestone Targets Milestone B, C & FRP Provides a definitive Independent look at product support readiness in preparation for a milestone decision Tailored Process Based on Program and Milestone Targets Milestone B, C & FRP ILA Handbook What is an ILA?

18. 18 ILA Checklists ILA Handbook Assessment categories evaluated through the use of comprehensive checklists

19. ILA Status Voluntary for Air Force Programs Training opportunities –DAU CLL 020, Independent Logistics Assessments –AFIT SYS 279, ILA Assessors Workshop Next Steps: Continue to assist Centers planning ILAs Update ILA Handbook: −Incorporate AFI 63-101 & DODI 5000.02 changes −Improve alignment to ASTK and LHA 19

26. Collaborative web-based application designed to assist acquisition professionals in defining, managing & reporting program health & status throughout a program's lifecycle Provides near real time visibility by providing program information adhering to OSD and SAF/AQ policy and business rules Generates a consistent reporting capability for both: –Defense Acquisition Executive Summary (DAES) to the OSD-level Defense Acquisition Management Information Retrieval (DAMIR) system –Monthly Acquisition Report (MAR) to SAF/AQX. Air Force acquisition programs report metrics in SMART Both PoPS and LHA are Decision Support Modules within SMART 26 Air Force SMART

27. Product Support Processes 27 Field Support Manage Capabilities Plan Support Design Support Develop & Acquire Support Maintain Products Improve Products Retire Products Determine Requirements

28. Product Support Continuous and collaborative set of activities that establishes & maintains readiness and operational capability of a system, subsystem, or end-item throughout its life cycle Overarching activity that bridges the acquisition & sustainment phases of a program Product support strategy is built around the product support elements Ref. AFI 63-101 Acquisition & Sustainment Life Cycle Management, Para 3.88 28
