Integrated Technical Information for the Air Logistics Centers (ITI-ALC)
Abstract
The objective of the Integrated Technical Information for the Air Logistics Centers (ITI-ALC) program was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Air Force's depot maintenance process, with specific emphasis on Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) operations and with a limited look at component repair. This was accomplished by streamlining the process and developing an ITI-ALC integrated systems concept implementable with technologies that will automate the streamlined process to standardize, integrate, and make information easily accessible to the ALC personnel through a single entry source. This integration of information included interfacing with many independent sources of information such as engineering drawings, maintenance plans, manufacturing specifications, technical orders, and dynamic diagnostics. When implemented, the results of the ITI-ALC program will reduce flow days, improve quality, reduce operating costs, and improve mechanic performance. The ITI-ALC program was accomplished through the application of a structured, user-focused methodology that supported the effective collection, integration, and analysis of the user information. The approach produced effective and practical business process improvement (BPI) concepts for the streamlined PDM process and the requirements for the supporting ITI-ALC system. This report describes the methodology that was applied to successfully satisfy the requirements of the ITI-ALC program along with possible recommendations and/or lessons learned during the performance of the ITI-ALC program.
