Download or read book Contractor Logistics Support in the U S Air Force written by Michael Boito and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force has several options for sustaining weapon systems and components but has, in recent years, increasingly chosen contractor logistics support (CLS) over organic support. Still, questions remain about costs and efficiency, even about whether CLS is the best option. The authors explored these by reviewing the relevant government and DoD documents and data and by speaking with various knowledgeable individuals. The authors noted that CLS contracts have often gone to original equipment manufacturers because, lacking the technical data, the Air Force could not choose a third party. They also noted that contracts that guarantee large annual sums limit the Air Force's ability to adjust when its own funding changes and that the reasons underpinning these decisions are not always complete or consistent across the service. Centralizing and standardizing data and the related management skills would help make them available across the Air Force. More important, to retain all its choices for logistics services throughout a system's life cycle, the Air Force should acquire the technical data or data rights near the start of the acquisition process.

This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability of the United States Air Force (USAF) to keep its aircraft operating at an acceptable operational tempo, in wartime and in peacetime, has been important to the Air Force since its inception. This is a much larger issue for the Air Force today, having effectively been at war for 20 years, with its aircraft becoming increasingly more expensive to operate and maintain and with military budgets certain to further decrease. The enormously complex Air Force weapon system sustainment enterprise is currently constrained on many sides by laws, policies, regulations and procedures, relationships, and organizational issues emanating from Congress, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Air Force itself. Against the back-drop of these stark realities, the Air Force requested the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academies, under the auspices of the Air Force Studies Board to conduct and in-depth assessment of current and future Air Force weapon system sustainment initiatives and recommended future courses of action for consideration by the Air Force. Examination of the U.S. Air Force's Aircraft Sustainment Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs addresses the following topics: Assess current sustainment investments, infrastructure, and processes for adequacy in sustaining aging legacy systems and their support equipment. Determine if any modifications in policy are required and, if so, identify them and make recommendations for changes in Air Force regulations, policies, and strategies to accomplish the sustainment goals of the Air Force. Determine if any modifications in technology efforts are required and, if so, identify them and make recommendations regarding the technology efforts that should be pursued because they could make positive impacts on the sustainment of the current and future systems and equipment of the Air Force. Determine if the Air Logistics Centers have the necessary resources (funding, manpower, skill sets, and technologies) and are equipped and organized to sustain legacy systems and equipment and the Air Force of tomorrow. Identify and make recommendations regarding incorporating sustainability into future aircraft designs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, the Air Force has relied on contractors for most of the required logistics support for aircraft that are similar to commercially available aircraft. Examples of aircraft using this kind of support include the C-9 aeromedical evacuation aircraft and the KC-lO tanker/airlift aircraft. Also, some high-cost, classified systems that are produced in small quantities, such as the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, use this type of support arrangement. Using such an arrangement for systems similar to those used in the private sector can result in savings because it is possible to share common parts supply and other support structure costs, such as maintenance facilities and personnel, with other public and private sector users. Since the mid-1990s, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the services have initiated actions to expand the use of such contractor logistics support to other military programs. The Air Force is the service with the most extensive use of this logistics support strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years the Air Force has relied on contractors to provide logistics support for commercial derivative systems such as the KC-l0 aircraft as well as for some high-cost, highly classified systems produced in small quantities, such as the U2. In recent years the Department of Defense (DOD) and the services have initiated actions to expand contractor logistics support to other military systems that were not derived from similar commercial systems. The Air Force has designated the C-17 as 1 of the 10 Air Force systems that will be used as a pilot to implement a DOD initiative that will emphasize contracting with the private sector for support services as a part of its logistics reengineering efforts. This designation of the C-17 as a pilot project is consistent with defense reform initiatives, which called for a strategic shift toward increased reliance on the private sector to meet support needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense has directed the services to pursue logistics "reengineering" efforts to reduce logistics support costs. To this end, the Air Force has several efforts under way that apply commercial best practices and have, as a key feature, increased reliance on the private sector for logistics support. It is impossible to determine whether cost-effectiveness estimates for proposed contractor logistics support approaches are being achieved because the Air Force lacks the necessary data. Consequently, the Air Force may be testing and adopting support approaches without enough information to assess whether expected readiness improvements and cost reduction goals are being met. The Air Force's limited experience in repairing the same aircraft and components in both the public and private sectors and the lack of comparable and reliable historical financial data make it difficult to assess the cost-effectiveness of private versus public repair facilities. In addition, concerns raised about the impact of the increased use of contractor logistics support on the management of day-to-day activities have not been fully addressed.
