Architectures Driving Efficiencies into Air Force Operations

Abstract

This case study documents how the Air Force (AF) is leveraging the use of architectures to establish more effective and cost efficient Purchase and Supply Chain Management (PSCM) capabilities for sustaining and maintaining our warfighting resources. The paper provides a brief introduction section to familiarize the reader with the genesis of these architecture initiatives. A follow-on section expounds on how the AF utilized these architecture products to project Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) savings. The conclusion section contains MITRE observations as to the level of confidence of the AF realizing these projected and other potential benefits.
