Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a draft handbook for (management and application of) weapon system and equipment support analysis (WSESA) required the researchers to conduct site surveys at multiple Air Force organizations involved in WSESA programs. Observations made during these meetings with Deputy Program Managers for Logistics/Integrated Logistics Support Managers (DPMLs/ILSMs) provided guidance for the handbook development. This paper describes the six tasks that were performed in developing the handbook, records the observations made in carrying out the surveys, and provides several conclusions and recommendations. Keywords: Acquisition management; Logistics support analysis (LSA).

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.

Download or read book An Analysis of the Impact of Integrated Weapon System Management (IWSM) Upon the Support Equipment Acquisition Process (Covering the Period From Submittal of Serd* Through the Preparation of the Statement of Work). written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the impact of the implementation of Integrated Weapon System Management (IWSM) on the support equipment acquisition process. The literature search revealed that IWSM is the latest of many Air Force attempts to ensure all aspects of a weapon system's life cycle are considered when acquisition decisions are made. Areas of interest included organizational structure; inter-functional relationships; procedural changes; and procedural guidance and automated tools used. Two years after IWSM implementation, interviews were conducted with twenty-four people in various functional disciplines in four System Program Offices and included both Aerospace System Center (ASC) and Air Logistics Center (ALC) personnel. Although there were no significant changes in office structure, the use of the term Integrated Product Team to describe working groups had improved the inter- functional relationships and communication among offices. This shortened the time required to perform some steps of the process. The research found little or no common procedural guidance used among the SPOs, other than the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) for contracting. Also, SPO-unique software was in common use, instead of automated tools from the Acquisition Logistics Toolbox and Index.

Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Support Equipment Review and Approval Process by : Joyce F. Bassett
Download or read book An Analysis of the Support Equipment Review and Approval Process written by Joyce F. Bassett and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a direct link between the increasing technological sophistication of our present-day weapon systems and the complexity of the support equipment required to maintain them. With this complexity has also come increased numbers of equipment at increased cost and lead times. In 1988, aircraft and missile support equipment alone totaled over 82,800 line items values at over 10.5 billion dollars. The support equipment requirements and acquisition process that has evolved over the years is extremely complex and it requires the coordination of many people. As such, it is often characterized as being nonresponsive to the Air Force needs. Since 1983, there have been numerous Air Force studies to address the support equipment issues. Over 200 recommendations have been made in an attempt to improve the support equipment acquisition process, yet support equipment shortfalls are still a major problem today. A literature review was developed to identify those studies, their conclusions and recommendations. The purpose of this thesis was to determine if the current SERD (Support Equipment Recommunication Data) processing is being accomplished within the 75 days required by regulation and to identify where the current process could be improved. The research was accomplished by selecting a representative sample of SERDs and by interviewing support equipment experts, (kr).

Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Support Equipment Acquisition Process and Methods of Improvement Designed to Reduce Acquisition Costs Within Air Force Systems Command by : M. R. L'Ecuyer
Download or read book An Analysis of the Support Equipment Acquisition Process and Methods of Improvement Designed to Reduce Acquisition Costs Within Air Force Systems Command written by M. R. L'Ecuyer and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acquisition of support equipment consumes a large portion of the defense budget. In 1984, the Air Force Systems Command spent $1.8 billion on the procurement of support equipment. In the past, support equipment has not received proper management attention. However, people are beginning to realize that support equipment is one of the major factors affecting the maintainability and reliability of the fielded weapon system. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the support equipment acquisition process within Air Force Systems Command and methods of improvement designed to reduce acquisition costs. The thesis considers support equipment from three perspectives; in terms of the Integrated Logistics Support concept, within the framework of the weapon systems acquisition process, and finally the 'specifics' of the acquisition process. The thesis consludes with a thorough examination of three methods multi-year contracting, breakout procurement, and local manufacture, presently being used within Air Force Systems Command to reduce support equipment acquisition costs. Presented are the benefits, disadvantages, and criteria for use of each method.
Book Synopsis Cost Analysis of Proposed Training Devices for DSWS (Division Support Weapon System) Operator Course by : R. V. Guptill
Download or read book Cost Analysis of Proposed Training Devices for DSWS (Division Support Weapon System) Operator Course written by R. V. Guptill and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports on a preliminary training development study (TDS) of the proposed training devices for the operator course of the Division Support Weapons System. Training device requirements for this system are being determined during the earliest stages of the Life Cycle System Management Model (LCSMM). The study overcame the lack of data needed for training device decision-making by building upon the comparability analysis techniques embodied in previous applications of the HARDMAN methodology to the Division Support Weapon System. The results of this study suggested that device-based courses would be substantially less costly than equipment-based courses. (Author).
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Support Equipment Acquisition Process and Methods Designed to Reduce Acquisition Leadtime by :
Download or read book An Analysis of the Support Equipment Acquisition Process and Methods Designed to Reduce Acquisition Leadtime written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Support equipment acquisition leadtime continues to be a problem for both the United States Air Force and our foreign military sales programs. As a microcosm of the entire Department of Defense acquisition process, support equipment is often, late to need, without a complete integrated logistics support package, of poor or unstable design, and frequently requires considerable interim support. The purpose of this thesis is to look at the support equipment acquisition process from three perspectives: (1) from the overall weapon system acquisition process; (2) in the broad perspective of the integrated logistics support (ILS) concept; and (3) in the much narrower perspective of procuring organizations. The objective of this thesis is to examine support equipment acquisition from the viewpoint of the procuring organizations.
Book Synopsis Industrial Base Analysis for Support Equipment. Phase 1 by : Leo Bernier
Download or read book Industrial Base Analysis for Support Equipment. Phase 1 written by Leo Bernier and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phase 1 of the Industrial Base Analysis for Support Equipment (SE) has as its objective to propose a solution to the problems faced by SE managers who struggle daily with difficulties of price, cost, planning, control, and performance of SE without fast, easy access to useful information. The solution we suggest for improving the technical aspect of the SE acquisition process uses Group Technology (GT) to identify and organize SE information in a way that will improve decision making by all personnel - in industry and in government - associated with the SE acquisition process. The GT approach works by grouping related items into families based on similarities, and differentiating items according to specified distinctions. Once organized, the information can be loaded into a database and made available to end users in design, manufacturing, and management through user-friendly decision support systems (DSS). Users would be able to access and manipulate data as they need to, thereby improving the acquisition of support equipment throughout a weapon system's life cycle by the effective use of technical information: Keywords: aerospace industry; standardization; relational data base; computer aided design; computer aided manufacturing; systems analysis.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of the Acquisition of Specific Items of Support Equipment for the F100 Engine by : Stanley G. DeGruccio
Download or read book An Analysis of the Acquisition of Specific Items of Support Equipment for the F100 Engine written by Stanley G. DeGruccio and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WITH THE ACQUISITION OF HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED WEAPON SYSTEMS, COMPLEX Support Equipment is making a significant impact on the operational readiness and availability of major end items. This study was to analyze the acquisition and provisioning process of two specific pieces of Support Equipment associated with the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft F100 engine: the Supervisory Control System (SCS) Tester and Engine Trim Box (ETB). In addition, the Programmable Automated Trim Test System (PATTS) proposed by P & WA as a new generation item of Support Equipment was examined. The objective of this research was to evaluate the acquisition and provisioning process of two existing items of Support Equipment and compare it to an item being considered for procurement at the present time. This was done to determine if the lessons learned from the SCS Tester and ETB were being applied to PATTS. In the authors' opinions, the problems encountered with the SCS Tester and ETB were mainly due to inadequate requirements determination, improper source coding, and insufficient application of the Integrated Logistics Support concept. PATTS, though immune to many of these problems, received greater planning and coordination emphasis through the efforts and foresight of a few key individuals. (Author).
Book Synopsis Weapon System Support Resources Demand Parameters - Logistics by : G. A. Walker
Download or read book Weapon System Support Resources Demand Parameters - Logistics written by G. A. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents preliminary results for Phase III of a study to seek ways of developing more accurate measures and weightings to improve resource requirement predictions for operational and emerging weapon systems. These improved measures can then be used on new programs to predict maintenance demands (human and material), for design tradeoff studies early in the system development process to reduce the overall weapon system life cycle cost and increase mission readiness. During Phase III (1980) follow-on in-depth statistical analysis of the preliminary findings was performed to identify various subsystem equipment maintenance resource demand vs generic parameter(s) sub-set(s) relationships, such as equipment, operational, environmental, maintenance, and general characteristics. The plan for the second half of Phase III (1981) is to further investigate those maintenance resource demands that have strongly correlated impact parameters within the various subsystems and equipments for identification of positive relationships and their cause factors.

Book Synopsis System and Total Force Cost Analysis by : David Novick
Download or read book System and Total Force Cost Analysis written by David Novick and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description of the aims, concepts, and methods of military cost analysis as developed by RAND's Cost Analysis Department. The publication is basically concerned with estimating costs for proposed military activities so that informed choices can be made among them. The study considers in detail the underlying principles of cost analysis and examines methods for analyzing the cost of total force structures as well as of individual systems. Cost categories are refined, particularly by providing categories for research and development activities which constitute an increasing share of system costs. By generalizing methods and examples, the analysis is extended to support and control systems as well as weapon systems. The usefulness of cost sensitivity analysis is explained and illustrated by examples, and methods are described for estimating system manpower requirements.
