Partner with industry to identify and resolve supply chain risk
Improve speed of reverse engineering, repair development
and additive manufacturing capabilities – shift from reactive to
pro-active mitigation
‒ Initiatives with non-DoD (DoE, academia) and DoD agencies
(AFRL, Navy, Army)
Enable rapid source solutions when no, limited, or non-responsive
sources exist
‒ Obsolescence management and source development
Apply Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) across enterprise
to meet “Art of the Possible” goals
‒ Standard processes, gated metrics, and benchmarking
Implement category management
‒ “Buying as one” – leverage spend/reduce duplication

Organic Supply Chain
Strategy Shift
Shifting strategy from traditional transactional supply chain to
outcome based approach using working capital funds
‒ KC-46, B-2, B-21, F-100, landing gear
Traditional sustainment PBL
“Fail and Fix” or “Fail and Replace” contractsFixed price, longer term contracting for war
fighter-relevant outcomes
More failures = increased revenue,increased profit
More failures = no added revenue,decreased profit
No incentive to improve reliability or take cost out of the sustainment value chain
Providers highly incentivized to increase reliability and take cost out of the sustainment
value chain
Transactional logistics is the baseline against which savings are measured
Significant savings versus baseline. Additional savings may be harvested at contract
renegotiation
From reliability, maintainability, and life-cycle price-to-the-Service perspectives, transactional
sustainment incentives provider behavior that is misaligned with service interests

Obstacles to supportability to name a few:
‒ Diminishing original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
‒ Exhausted stockpile reserves / spares
‒ Obsolete parts (e.g., analog vs. digital)
‒ Legacy technology not compatible with existing infrastructure
Reengineering efforts in some cases are required to uphold
supportability to the field

Working follow on contract – RFP release Fall 2017
Follow guidance and procedures from AFMCI 23-113
Source Approval Requests (SARs) provide the process and
documentation to become a qualified alternate source
Additional sources increases the acquisition competition and
increases system availability
Provides efficiencies in managing SARs
Current turnaround time is 30 days for an open solicitation and
60-90 days for others
