Background

• Preserve control of Naval Aviation Maintenance
  within the Navy
• FRC concept incorporated into DOD BRAC
  recommendations 13 May 2005
• Implement BRAC Recommendations
• Define the FRC CONOPs
• Design the FRC construct to enable the NAE to
  save 1.8B over the FYDP
• Original vision
• Integrated I2D repair system

4
Vision

• Shift Maintenance Concept
• Three Types moves to Two
• On Flight Line Off Flight Line
• Support Commercial Integration
• Remove Organizational White Space
• Optimize Value Stream
• Reduce Total System Cycle Time
• Accelerate our Advantages

5
What are FRCs?

• NAE Fleet Readiness Centers
• Integrated Repair, Engineering and Fleet Training
  Centers
• Centers of Excellence
• Integrated with Fleet/Tech authority and each
  other
• Commodores maintain leadership role
• What they are not
• Depots swallowing IMAs or vice versa

6
Key Enablers

• Global Reach of Premium Transportation
• Enables Fewer Repair Sites
• Greater efficiency and reliability
• Move stuff ONCE
• Refine Financial Model
• Shift Point of Sale
• AIRSpeed Culture

7
Cost Removal

• Reduce Work Content
• Eliminate Task Duplication
• Eliminate Duplicate/Repeated Troubleshooting
• Material Requirements
• Improve Reliability
• Centers of Excellence
• Improve Feedback Loop
• Less WIP IW/AWM in the system

8
Implement BRAC FRC Recommendations as Approved

• Stand up FRCs with geographic regional alignment
  of authority and responsibility
• Savings primarily focused on component workload
  savings
• I2D integration / AIRSpeed
• New Supply initiatives
• Initial spares
• SHORCAL reductions
• Transportation initiatives
• Rely on IRCA savings (1.4B)

This is a Substantial Challenge and will Result
in Savings

FRC Transformation

• Fleet Readiness Centers
• BRAC Commission voted FRC Scenario up on 24
  August 2005
• BRAC Commission recommendations submitted to
  President 8 Sept 05
• Establishes 6 FRCs
• Establishes significantly aggressive
  Cost-Wise-Readiness requirements
• ?
• People ?
• New Commands
• Not D-levels eating I-levels
• Not I-levels eating D-levels
• Can Not achieve efficiencies if we do not really
  do transformations
• Need to lead turn all facets of transformation
  or well get behind power curve (example people
  reduction numbers)
• Must synch up current initiatives with to be
  state
• Reasons for implementation - becomes law 1
  January 2006
• Implication - radically changes the future
  Maintenance Supply Chain Management (MSCM)
  business model

12
Draft Enterprise FRC Implementation Organization
13
Enterprise FRC (eFRC) Responsibilities

• Establish the policies under which the FRCs will
  operate
• Common business practices and rules
• Common financial systems
• Common IT systems
• Ensure all FRCs operate with same interpretation
  of policy
• Provide all services that are best provided by a
  central source
• Ensure that the RFT aircraft buffers can meet the
  FRP and IDRC requirements
• Ensure that the Repairables/Consumables Buffers
  can meet the FRP and IDRC requirements
• Ensure that the logistic support plan developed
  by the PMA considers
• Capabilities and capacities of the FRC
• Impact on the FRC Total Delivered Cost

14
Summary

• Potential to re-engineer the Maintenance Supply
  solution for the NAE
• Align Efforts and Authority
• Transform and move to a new business model based
  on DoD commercial best business practices
• Requires Integrated and Interrelated Approach
