Procurement Readiness Optimization-Advanced System Technology (PRO-ACT)
Abstract
Weapon system spare parts managed by DLA that contain castings are responsible for a disproportionate share of DLA’s backorders. Cast parts are ~2% of all hardware National Stock Numbered parts but represent ~4% of all backorders, and when only the oldest backorders are considered up to 10% are castings. PRO-ACT develops methods and technologies to improve the supply of cast parts. We take a holistic view of the problem and attacks root causes inside DLA, at DLA’s engineering support activity partners in the Services, and at DLA casting suppliers. This program includes tasks in developing new and improved metalcasting capabilities in the areas of inspection, materials, modeling, and design. Once developed these capabilities will support the foundry industry, where the technologies will be tested and implemented.
