Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Air Force and its suppliers have adopted a variety of practices that have improved efficiency and effectiveness but have also made supply chains more brittle and increased risks of supply disruption. This document seeks to help the Air Force develop a strategy for managing supply chain risks during sustainment. In it, the authors review literature on supply chain risk management (SCRM), examine current Air Force practices for and guidance on SCRM, and describe emerging commercial best practices for SCRM. They find that many supply chain risks are not considered directly within the Air Force sustainment community and that, while others are acknowledged, there is little or no strategy in place to mitigate them. They recommend that the Air Force establish an enterprise-level organization to proactively manage supply chain risks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force Global Logistics Support Center (AFGLSC) is responsible for the United States Air Force's supply chain. One of the AFGLSC's focus areas is to improve Air Force supply chain processes. Imbedded in this focus area is the requirement to define and deploy a supply chain risk management program. Supply chain resilience has been identified as a method of enhancing traditional risk management associated with commercial supply chains both in recent literature and research. This leads to the problem statement: Does recent literature and research provide AFGLSC with a method to enhance current supply chain risk management with supply chain resilience? A literature review identified a supply chain resilience framework and measurement tool that could be of potential benefit to Air Force supply chain managers. The Supply Chain Resilience Assessment and Management (SCRAM (trademark)) tool is used to measure current supply chain vulnerabilities and capabilities, provide recommendations for improvements, and provide information to better prepare supply chain leadership with managing products, processes, and relationships. Eleven Air Force weapon systems were identified and organized into two groups based on their current position (phase) within the weapon system life cycle. Phase I is identified as weapon systems from conception through production and Phase II is identified as weapon systems from post production through disposal. SCRAM was used to measure the vulnerabilities and capabilities of each USAF weapon system to determine if differences existed as they progressed through the weapon system life cycle. The results indicate that the supply chain resilience framework and measurement tool provide Air Force leadership with the information they need to improve the strategic management of their supply chain.

Book Synopsis Weapons System Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Weapons System Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Government Accountability Office, sustainment of weapon systems accounts for approximately 70 percent of the total life-cycle costs. When sustainment is not considered early in the development process or as an integral part of the systems engineering design, it can negatively affect the ability of the Air Force to maintain and improve the weapon system once it enters service. At the request of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, Weapons Systems Sustainment Planning Early in the Development Life Cycle identifies at what point or phase of the development of a weapons system sustainment planning should be integrated into the program; examines and provides recommendations regarding how sustainment planning should be evaluated throughout the development process; investigates and describes the current challenges with sustainment planning and determines what changes have occurred throughout the acquisition process that may have eroded sustainment planning; and identifies opportunities for acquisitions offices to gain greater access to sustainment expertise.

Book Synopsis The Growing Threat to Air Force Mission-Critical Electronics by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book The Growing Threat to Air Force Mission-Critical Electronics written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-performance electronics are key to the U.S. Air Force's (USAF's) ability to deliver lethal effects at the time and location of their choosing. Additionally, these electronic systems must be able to withstand not only the rigors of the battlefield but be able to perform the needed mission while under cyber and electronic warfare (EW) attack. This requires a high degree of assurance that they are both physically reliable and resistant to adversary actions throughout their life cycle from design to sustainment. In 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop titled Optimizing the Air Force Acquisition Strategy of Secure and Reliable Electronic Components, and released a summary of the workshop. This publication serves as a follow-on to provide recommendations to the USAF acquisition community.
Book Synopsis Examination of the U.S. Air Force's Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs by : National Research Council
Download or read book Examination of the U.S. Air Force's Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability of the United States Air Force (USAF) to keep its aircraft operating at an acceptable operational tempo, in wartime and in peacetime, has been important to the Air Force since its inception. This is a much larger issue for the Air Force today, having effectively been at war for 20 years, with its aircraft becoming increasingly more expensive to operate and maintain and with military budgets certain to further decrease. The enormously complex Air Force weapon system sustainment enterprise is currently constrained on many sides by laws, policies, regulations and procedures, relationships, and organizational issues emanating from Congress, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Air Force itself. Against the back-drop of these stark realities, the Air Force requested the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies, under the auspices of the Air Force Studies Board to conduct and in-depth assessment of current and future Air Force weapon system sustainment initiatives and recommended future courses of action for consideration by the Air Force. Examination of the U.S. Air Force's Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs addresses the following topics: Assess current sustainment investments, infrastructure, and processes for adequacy in sustaining aging legacy systems and their support equipment. Determine if any modifications in policy are required and, if so, identify them and make recommendations for changes in Air Force regulations, policies, and strategies to accomplish the sustainment goals of the Air Force. Determine if any modifications in technology efforts are required and, if so, identify them and make recommendations regarding the technology efforts that should be pursued because they could make positive impacts on the sustainment of the current and future systems and equipment of the Air Force. Determine if the Air Logistics Centers have the necessary resources (funding, manpower, skill sets, and technologies) and are equipped and organized to sustain legacy systems and equipment and the Air Force of tomorrow. Identify and make recommendations regarding incorporating sustainability into future aircraft designs.
Book Synopsis Supply Chain Risk Management by : David L. Olson
Download or read book Supply Chain Risk Management written by David L. Olson and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the many outcomes resulting from the explosion of international trade is access to lower cost production opportunities through outsourcing. This phenomenon has increased the importance of supply chains, the information technology needed to coordinate them and the need for this relatively complex enterprise to be exceptionally well-managed. There are obviously many cost benefits to be had from maintaining a strong and far-reaching supply chain. However, this opportunity to lower costs entails significant risks, such as tsunamis, earthquakes, political unrest, and economic turbulence. This book will introduce concepts and examples of risk in supply chain management, followed by an identification and discussion of an array of quantitative tools (selection methods, risk simulation modeling, and business scorecard analysis) to help manage these risks. Many books are appearing that address various aspects of supply chain risks. No other book known to the author addresses this set of modeling tools as a means of managing this risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where can things go wrong? This deceptively simple question has fascinated mankind since time immemorial. The question in fact forms the basis of risk management. The focus of this thesis is the risk management of supply chains. Any factor that is likely to disrupt the procurement, production, or delivery of a good or a service constitutes a supply chain risk. As several case studies from around the world indicate [4], disruptions to an enterprise's supply chain could be catastrophic to business, human safety, market competitiveness, and even national and international economies. It is therefore imperative that an a priori assessment of the factors that pose a risk to the supply chain be conducted and contingency plans developed at strategic, tactical, and operational levels to monitor and mitigate those risks. This thesis will identify all major risks that are likely to disrupt a supply chain; identify the data needed to continuously monitor each risk; suggest a synthesized framework for managing supply chain risks; propose different models to quantify risks and asses their consequences; and suggest guidelines for model use. Further, it will present a case study based on the models developed and propose a decision support system based on these models and necessary data. This work will help enterprises develop risk management plans at the strategic, tactical and operational levels, along various time horizons, and be able to execute them when supply chain risks are encountered. The target audience for this thesis includes a broad spectrum of supply chain professionals, consultants, supervisors, top executives, risk professionals, managers, software entrepreneurs, academicians, and students.
