Transition Defined

• Transfer of designated lifecycle management
  responsibilities to the SMCA for SMCA-assigned
  conventional ammunition developed by the Military
  Services
• Full Transition Procurement and Logistics
  responsibilities
• Partial Transition Logistics Support only
• RDT E Transition Planning
• SMCA Responsibilities Participate in the
  developing Services IPT process to support
  development of acquisition and logistics support
  strategies and address potential benefits of
  procurement through the SMCA
• Developing Service Responsibilities
• Initiate action to transition designated
  responsibilities to the SMCA when an item enters
  System Development Demonstration (SDD).
• Coordinate with the SMCA to support development
  of acquisition strategies and evaluate the
  potential benefits of procurement through the
  SMCA
• Transition SMCA assigned items at Milestone C
  as an exception, Services may retain procurement
  responsibilities when SMCA procurement offers no
  efficiencies

Transition MetricsIs the Transition Process
Working?

• Perceptions (or misconceptions) from where we
  sit
• The Army should also be considered a SMCA
  customer
• Transition planning is not occurring for items in
  RDTE
• Services retain SMCA Assigned items in
  production with no plan for Transition
• SMCA may be reluctant to accept Service-unique
  items
• No formal channels of communication exist to
  discuss Transition
• What we plan to accomplish with Transition
  Metrics
• Apply 6s methodologies to establish a
  baseline/improve the process
• Reopen a dialog between the SMCA and the Services
• Promote early planning for transition
• Encourage the parties involved to make informed
  decisions
• Make Transition planning routine rather than the
  exception
• Document decisions and rationale for the decision
• Optimal decision may be to not Transition
• Bring us in line with JCAPP 2 (Rev 3, 28 Sep 05)

ProposedTransition Metrics

• Item Transition Index
• Number of SMCA Assigned items procured by the
  Service as a percentage of all SMCA Assigned
  items procured by the Service and the SMCA
• Dollar value of SMCA Assigned items procured by
  the Service as a percentage of the dollar value
  of all SMCA Assigned items procured by the
  Service and the SMCA
• Number of Transitioned items procured outside
  of the SMCA as a percentage of all Transitioned
  items procured by the Service and the SMCA

ProposedTransition Metrics

• Transition Planning Index
• Number of SMCA Assigned items identified for
  Transition by the Service as a percentage of all
  SMCA Assigned non-transitioned items procured by
  the Service
• Number of Approved Transition Plans for
  non-transitioned SMCA Assigned items procured by
  the Service as a percentage of the number of SMCA
  Assigned non-transitioned items procured by the
  Service
• Number of Transition Plans in progress for
  non-transitioned SMCA Assigned items procured by
  the Service as a percentage of the number of SMCA
  Assigned non-transitioned items procured by the
  Service

Transition MetricsChallenges

• Where does the data come from?
• Obtained ROM data from Services FY05 BES
  submissions (items and budget figures only)
  does not reflect actual execution
• Transition Planning data does not currently exist
• We will need each Service to identify a POC
  responsible for providing actual data
• Need to determine appropriate raw score criteria
  and weighting factors
• If the Army is included as a Customer, need to
  define what constitutes non-transitioned items

SMCA Objectives

• Achieve the highest possible degree of efficiency
  and effectiveness in the DoD operations required
  to acquire top quality conventional ammunition
  for U.S. Forces.
• Integrate the wholesale conventional ammunition
  logistics functions of the Military Departments
  to the maximum extent practicable, thereby
  eliminating unwarranted duplication and
  increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of
  the overall conventional ammunition program.
• Manage and invest in an integrated logistics base
  supporting assigned conventional ammunition
  requirements.
