Procurement Readiness Optimization-Advanced System Technology (PRO-ACT)
Abstract
Weapon system spare parts which use castings are responsible for a disproportionate share of backorders. Cast parts are 2% of National Stock Numbered parts but represent 4% of all backorders, and when only the oldest backorders are considered, up to 19% of them are castings. This program develops innovative technology and processes to improve the procurement, manufacture, and design of weapon system spare parts which use castings. The Procurement Readiness Optimization-Advanced Casting Technology (PRO-ACT) program takes a systems view and considers not only the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) perspective but also the Military Service Engineering Support Activities (ESA) which DLA works with to solve technical issues, as well as the industrial supply base. The program has three components: Rapid Acquisition, Quality, and Cost Effectiveness.
