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 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 excerpt: The authors review Air Force purchases of "low-demand" parts, analyzing how much the Air Force spends on such parts and the types of parts that have a low demand. They then identify and synthesize best commercial purchasing and supply chain management practices used for developing supply strategies for such items, concluding with recommendations for the Air Force to improve its supply strategies for such items.

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.
