Logistics IT System Modernization
Abstract
The AF requires an integrated logistics capability that provides timely, accurate and reliable information to decision makers at all levels of command and across the full range of military operations. FIAR and Software Upgrades: The remediation and modification of core logistics systems is necessary for the AF to meet statutory Financial Improvement Audit Readiness (FIAR) and align with the Joint Chiefs of Staff J-4 Concept for Logistics, and the AF Logistics Board's approved Enterprise Logistics Strategy (ELS). The AF must sustain and modernize these systems through FIAR Remediation, to address the most immediate gaps in meeting FIAR by the statutory deadline, and software upgrades, to reduce high operating costs, implement statutory compliance requirements and improve near term system performance, and system consolidation efforts. Systems contained in these business areas include, but are not limited to, the Combat Ammunitions System (CAS), Integrated Logistics System-Supply (ILS-S), AF Equipment Management System (AFEMS), Enhanced Technical Information Management System (ETIMS), Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS), Reliability and Maintainability Information System (REMIS), and Stock Control System (SCS). Transformation: The AF must transform its logistics business processes and transition away from using numerous stovepipe systems and process flows that execute the same tasks. Eliminating process redundancies across the logistics enterprise will enable the AF to execute more efficient, cost-effective and integrated logistics in the long term. The objective of transformation is to conduct Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) to identify and eliminate overlaps in our current processes and where appropriate, implement the use of new IT systems. The AF Service Development and Delivery Process (SDDP) was applied as part of this BPR effort to apply discipline and focus to the task of process reengineering and requirements development in order to reduce risk and successfully transform logistics IT systems. In the SDDP, the requirements definition, architecture and design for an IT capability is a government-owned process. The SDDP ensured the AF end user and Sponsor consider all possible doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership, personnel and facility solutions to the end user's need/problem before a materiel solution is sought. The SDDP is a six-step process, each step with its own specific product outcomes that serve as the basis for downstream activities in the SDDP and facilitating enterprise-level analysis to maximize reuse of existing capabilities. Maximizing reuse will eliminate duplicate implementation actions across the AF and assure individual user problems or needs are not solved at the cost of overall enterprise benefits. The outcome of using the SDDP is a well-described requirement which may include a materiel solution, in which case the SDDP details the acquisition and implementation activities to support delivery of the capability. Alternatively, success may be demonstrated by the resolution of the user's problem without a materiel solution. The AF logistics enterprise is comprised of multiple overarching functional areas, to include maintenance, repair and overhaul, end-to-end supply chain support, base supply inventories, and predictive analysis and forecasting. The AF will standardize its business processes within each major logistics functional area through Transformation CI. Transformation Capability Initiatives (CIs) include, but are not limited to: Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MROi), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Transformation Capability Initiatives - Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MROi) will create an integrated capability that plans, schedules, and executes organic depot maintenance support functions critical to agile planning, optimized workload assignment, resource allocation and throughput, thereby increasing depot maintenance support to the warfighter. In FY 2018, PE 0708610F, Logistics Information Technology (LOGIT) Air Force, Project 675207, Logistics IT System Modernization, efforts were transferred to PE 0708055F, Maintenance Repair, and Overhaul (MRO), Project 675207, Logistics IT System Modernization, in order to bring greater visibility to the effort since it exceeded yearly funding thresholds and was therefore declared an ACAT I program. - SCM Item Master provides the capability to manage comprehensive, accurate, reliable item master data (e.g., accurate identification and authorization of owners and users of items). - SCM Field Maintenance will improve the AF field maintenance capabilities across Mission Generation Network (MGN) and Repair Network (RN) (e.g. propulsion, avionics, C2 enabler systems, cyber systems, communications-electronics & simulation, Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL), etc.) including the planning, scheduling, execution and oversight of functional deficiencies incurred over the past 10 years due to lack of prioritized funding and failure of the previous enterprise-wide modernization approach. - PLM enables AF engineering/logistics communities to define, track, protect and manage product data for AF weapon systems and equipment. The AF requires the ability to control configuration of the product throughout the life of the asset. Standardized configuration control will ensure validity, accuracy, reliability, currency, and security of the product information which will increase weapon system readiness by decreasing costs to manage, protect, store and deliver product information. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver our integrated logistics capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 06065833F. Budget Activity 7 (BA 7) - This program is in BA 7, Operational System Development, because this budget activity includes developmental efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
