Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research provides the Air Force with a methodology for evaluating various strategies to improve the procurement of spare parts and applies the methodology to F100 engine parts. The author uses exploratory analysis techniques and system dynamic modeling to gain a better understanding of the effectiveness of various supplier management policies, including identifying those policy levers most effective in improving various measures of interest. The research shows that policy and organizational changes in the purchasing and supply management (PSM) process have the potential to improve effectiveness while maintaining or lowering costs. It also demonstrates that a system dynamic model can be an important contribution to defining, discussing, and understanding the complex interactions among policy levers and outcome measures, particularly in enhancing PSM efficiency and effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Defense's (DOD) progress in implementing its spare parts initiatives, specifically spare parts acquisition at the San Antonio Air Logistics Center, including: (1) information on price growth; (2) an evaluation of the adequacy of the price analysis procurement officials perform; (3) an assessment of the personnel changes made in response to the initiatives; and (4) ways to improve implementing selected initiatives. GAO found that, since its previous review: (1) there was an 18.9-percent increase in procurements with decreased or unchanged prices, a decrease in procurements with higher prices, and a decrease of 48 percent in procurements with price increases of 25 percent or more; (2) the changes in spare parts prices were probably the result of lower inflation, economic improvement, and adverse media publicity; (3) procurement officials have improved their price analyses, but there is room for further improvement since price growths of 25 percent or more should prompt close scrutiny; and (4) in response to the spare parts initiatives, Air Force procurement officials shifted the emphasis from productivity to quality price analyses, hired and trained additional personnel, and revised performance appraisals to emphasize quality of pricing and competitive procurement. GAO also found that the Voluntary Refund Program and purchase request consolidation for items purchased repetitively are areas that need improvement to better achieve the intent of the spare parts initiatives.

Book Synopsis Air Force Supply Management Actions Create Spare Parts Shortages and Operational Problems by :
Download or read book Air Force Supply Management Actions Create Spare Parts Shortages and Operational Problems written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Supply Management Activity Group is part of the Air Force Working Capital Fund, a revolving fund that relies on sales revenue, rather than direct appropriations, to finance its operations. The wholesale division of this group obligated a reported $3.4 billion in fiscal year 1998 to buy new inventory items or pay for the repair of existing items. Working capital funds are expected to (1) generate sufficient revenue to cover the full costs of their operations and (2) operate on a break-even basis over time-that is, not make a profit nor incur a loss. Customers primarily use Operations and Maintenance appropriations to pay for inventory items. Payments from customers replenish the cash balance in the Air Force Working Capital Fund, which is used to finance ongoing operations, such as purchasing new items or paying for the repair of broken items. The Air Force Materiel Command oversees the operations of the Supply Management Activity Group through inventory control points located at its five Air Logistics Centers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a construct for organizing Air Force (AT) acquisition and purchasing activities to execute Purchasing and supply Management (PSM). This design incorporates best commercial practices, information from interviews with Air Force personnel the Air Force Spares Campaign and results of our analysis of the current commercial PSM practices. The Spares Campaign was chartered by the Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics to review the Air Force spare parts supply process. The report draws on spares Campaign process-based analysis supporting the decision to implement PSM and suggests organizational options for implementing PSM to better align contracting and logistics functions with process changes in procurement and strategic supplier supply base, and supply chain management. PSM is defined as a strategic, enterprise-wide long-term multi- functional, dynamic approach to selecting suppliers of goods and services and managing them and the whole value network from raw materials to final customer use and disposal to continually reduce total ownership costs, manage risks, and improve performance (quality responsiveness reliability and flexibility). The most basic tenets of PSM, listed below, support the integration of purchasing with supply management: * Supply base management (availability capacity and competitiveness) * Supplier management (performance measurement and improvement and collaboration) * Supply chain management (design and integration).

Book Synopsis Using a Spend Analysis to Help Identify Prospective Air Force Purchasing and Supply Initiatives by : Nancy Y. Moore

This book was released on 2004 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This briefing summarizes research on how the Air Force might use an analysis of its spending to develop better supply strategies, improve its relationships with suppliers, and better manage its supply base. Best practices offer many ways by which the Air Force can improve performance and save money. Such techniques include consolidating multiple contracts with existing providers, selecting the best providers and offering them longer contracts with broader scopes of goods and services, and working with selected strategic partners to improve quality, responsiveness, reliability, and cost. There are many challenges to conducting an Air Force-wide spend analysis, primarily the lack of detailed, centralized data on all expenditures as well as questions about data quality for those data that are available. Nevertheless, the data that do exist point to many prospective sources of savings and performance improvements. The authors analyze the most complete centralized source available on Air Force expenditures, known as DD350 data. Transactions in the DD350 data constitute 96 percent of all Air Force contract dollars spent directly. Among the actions that the Air Force might wish to take are: consolidation of a large number of contracts with similar or the same supplier; grouping contractor ID codes having multiple contracts with the Air Force and many purchase office codes associated with the same contractor, so that the Air Force does not have to pay for the contractor's repetitive bidding and contract administration costs; examining contracts for goods or services available from only one supplier, which gives the Air Force only limited opportunities to gain leverage over such suppliers. Conducting a detailed Air Force spend analysis would require information on the needs, preferences, and priorities of commodity users not available in the DD350 data. Because the Air Force needs to balance prospective savings, performance improvements, risks, socioeconomic and other goals, and other regulations not always present in the private sector, not all best commercial practices may be appropriate for it.

Book excerpt: Despite reporting $10.5 billion in appropriations spent on spare parts since fiscal year 2000, the Air Force continues to report shortages of spare parts. The service has taken numerous actions to address these shortages. GAO examined whether the Air Force's strategic plan addresses the mitigation of spare parts shortages, whether key initiatives are likely to mitigate the shortages, and the impact on readiness identified from increased investments for spare parts. The Air Force Strategic Plan generally provides an appropriate framework for mitigating spare parts shortages. However, one of two subordinate plans does not contain performance measures and targets linked to the strategic plan, and the other does not contain any performance targets. Therefore, the Air Force is not in a position to determine if the actions taken pursuant to its subordinate plans overcome spare parts shortages and provide assurance that it is getting the greatest readiness return on its spare parts investment. Key logistics initiatives under the Spares Campaign and Depot Maintenance Reengineering and Transformation (DMRT) efforts may help to mitigate spare parts shortages, but the initiatives' potential effectiveness is limited because of some key problems. First, the Air Force is not starting all identified initiatives that relate to the causes of shortages because it did not have needed personnel and funding. It assessed its logistics processes and identified more than 80 initiatives to solve more than 300 deficiencies; 43 initiatives were to improve processes that affect spare parts shortages, with about half relating to depot maintenance and the other half to supply. Although all depot maintenance-related initiatives have been started, 12 of the supply related initiatives have not been started. Second, 23 of the 31 initiatives lack both output-related performance measures and targets. Without output-related measures and targets to assess the initiatives' impact, the Air Force has little means of determining the extent to which it has successfully mitigated spare parts shortages and improved readiness. Third, the Air Force chose not to use the results of one of its initiatives, which identified a new total spares requirement as the basis for its fiscal year 2004 budget request. This decision resulted in a $578 million unfunded spare parts requirement. Finally, management problems--including failure to articulate the need for change, a lack of top-level commitment, and failure to address organizational issues--have hampered implementation of the initiatives. In February 2003, the Air Force established the Innovation and Transformation Directorate to address these problems, but its plans and priorities have not been set. The Air Force can estimate the impact of increased funding on individual weapon systems' supply availability and has done so. Based on its approximately $5.3 billion fiscal year 2004 spare parts budget request, the Air Force reported that aircraft supply availability would range from 73 to 100 percent. However, it cautioned that higher supply availability does not automatically result in higher mission capable rates because of other factors.
