3 1: Introduction

4 Speakers Background Pierre Demers Systems engineer CF DND Naval projects VICTORIAL Class submarines HALIFAX Class Joint Support Ship (JSS) Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) Performance-Based Accountability (PBA) Implementation of ISSCF ILS, ISS, Supportability ERP & EIE

5 Goals of the Presentation Goal#1: Provide a Better Understanding of DND Acquisition Projects and LSA Needs Goal#2: Discuss DND Acquisition Policy and its impact on LSA Needs Goal#3: Review Projects OmegaPS and Supportability Practices

6 2: DND Acquisition Major Crown Projects (MCPs)

7 Major Crown Projects (MCPs): Equipment Acquisition Supports the Canada First Defence Strategy Air 6 x MCPs: aircraft, helo, jets (3 at implementation) Land 3 x MCPs (1 at implementation) Sea 3 x MCPs (comply with National Shipbuilding Policy Strategy) Others DND Projects equipment acquisition projects service projects

8 3: In Service Support Contract Framework (ISSCF)

9 The Reality Industry objective: seeks Profit DND objective: seeks Effectiveness at an Affordable Cost Constraints: DND to focus on operations Technology complexity and growth The Challenge How do we design a support solution which will achieved both objectives simultaneously rather than one at the expense of the other? DND strategy: ISSCF

10 In-Service Support Contracting Framework (ISSCF) Established in 2006 for all new fleets Enhance Availability, reduce sustainment costs ISSCF key principles: ISS contract with original supplier Single Point of Accountability Use Performance metrics Long-Term (20+ yrs) Incentivized Fixed Price (unit/usage)

11 Fleet Support Concepts Traditional OWSM ISSCF Several legacy fleets All new fleets Hundreds of support contracts per fleet Component level (e.g. brakes) Time and materials 1-5 support contracts per fleet Major system level (e.g. Power Pack) Performance-based, incentived, fixed price, Cost + Agree mark up 1 support contract per fleet Platform level (e.g. complete WS) Performance-based, incentivized, fixed price Term = 1 year Term = 5+ years Term = 20+ years 11

12 4: Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) And Electronic Information Exchange (EIE)

13 Interface with Industry SAP Web Portal Solution DND ERP: DRMIS: A SAP EIE Integrated Approach Web Services SAP Environ. Health & Safety SAP Quality Management SAP xmds Mobile SAP Plant Maintenance SAP Work Force Management SAP Production Planning SAP DFPS SAP Materials Management SAP SAP SAP Asset Accounting SAP DIMP Configuration Management SAP Business Intelligence SAP Project Systems SAP Financials SAP Controlling OmegaPS Supportability Deployable Capability

14 DND ERP: DRMIS DND ERP: Navy: since 2003 Army: since 2010 Air Force: next months DND ERP: formally introduced a Supportability Analysis solution (BI extracts coupled with OmegaPS)

15 Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) Capability to exchange info between DND & Industry EIE Collaborative Environment (CE): Website / portal exchange files, e-meeting (WEBEX) Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) To enable performance-based ISS contracts Exchange data (maintenance, sparing) B2B (system-to-system) Large volume, automatic, real-time

16 5: Design for Supportability

17 The Dilemma with LSA? Who is using OMEGA PS for DND projects? Who has the skill sets in DND projects to use OMEGA PS? What tools are presently used to interrogate LSAR data in DND?

18 LSA Challenges Challenge is no one understands how everything is linked together (reqts, design, development, delivery, upkeep) EBS LSAR maintenance plans, maintenance reports, STE,training etc manuals (maintenance tasks) & spares Integrated approach: ILS & SE (to influence dsg) With limited skill sets in DND, LSA process & LSAR are not fully understood and utilized

19 Logistics Data Delivery for Projects Logistics data delivery has evolved The requirement for Commercial Off The Shelf components has introduced new challenges Logistics data is now provided from commercial vendors, some with little or no military ILS experience Data from multiple vendors is integrated by prime contractor for delivery into DND ERP LSA data translated into performance metrics

20 Data Management at DND Need contracted support to bring data to the level required to sustain weapon systems during their service life Navy: Fleet Data Management (FDM) Army: Central Data Management (CDM) Air Force: by OEM (fleet-by-fleet) Note: Need the right data, right format, right time, right person

21 DND Supportability Data Reqts ERN essential key to all technical objects, DND ERP and OmegaPS Equipment Family Tree critical tool for both Configuration Management and Analysis inconsistencies will result in flawed data collection Need data analyst to manage/clear structure & data Master Part List (MPL) SAP feature for Config Mngt representing Allowed Structure Vs Actual, down to Equipment level Mainly used by Air Force, SUBSAFE (certification reqts) FMEA: A critical starting point during design (SE & ILS integrated processes) needed to conduct RCMA, MTA (during acquisition phase) Needed to conduct R&M and failure analysis (during the ISS phase)

22 DND Supportability Data Reqts (cont) LORA Performed routinely during the acquisition phase Define 1 st, 2 nd, 3rd HALIFAX Class HALMOR initiative: to reduce maintenance load on Ship s Staff Using OmegaPS to capture failure code and for data loading into DND ERP Next step: conduct R&M analysis (Analyzer, DND ERP, other tools) MTA Maintenance Task Analysis (output) routinely done in Acquisition Maintenance Planning strategies Time-based Conditioned-based SWP scheduling / packaging Maintenance management (ship and fleet levels) Initial Provisioning & sparing (output) Legacy methodology: required spares Material Identification process

23 Navy LSA & OmegaPS Lessons Learned

24 Navy Supportability Reqts: Legacy Fleets HALIFAX Class HALMOAR HCM FELEX OmegaPS for: Data Verification and Validation (V&V) For Initial Data Load into DND ERP For Config Mngt (each ship, submarine) For Engineering Change

25 DND: LSA Terminology Challenges LSA terminology: -LCN DND terminology: -ERN -Navy -CF Legacy equip Use OmegaPS: -data conditioning -data loading ERP (SAP) Terminology: -FLOC -EMR -MMR

26 Navy: Assessing LSA deliverables Using OmegaPS Analyzer For Compliance: logistics products: Sparing Analysis Model (select spares, quantities) LSAR LORA RCMA FMECA For Design Reviews requires: Close liaison with LCMMs (SE & ILS) Analytical capability (need skills set) Adequate Software tools (licensing, s/w access) Depend internal and external SMEs (sub-contractors)

27 Navy Projects Use of OmegaPS (functions) LSA data and reports review and acceptance Data quality, mapping and loading Data Verification: meet naval operations (end-users) Data Validation Initial data load (in ERP) Master data upkeep Change Management Synchronize ILS data Naval Maintenance Effectiveness Review (NMER)

28 Navy Projects Use of OmegaPS (by phase) Definition Phase Define concept of support (who, what, when) Use OmegaPS, Analyzer for What-If analysis Define supportability and LSA reqts Implementation Phase Initial Provisioning process (sparing) LSA tasks & sub-tasks (FMEA, LORA, RCMA, MTL) Equip Config Mngt (by DND and by Contractor) Impact of DND ERP: maintenance, sparing/supply chain, others ISS Phase NMER LSAR data upkeep Equip Config Mngt Life Cycle Cost (LCC): living document

29 Army LSA & OmegaPS Lessons Learned

30 Army LSA challenges Large numbers of variants among vehicle fleets and land assets Possible duplication, data inefficiencies (LSAR, DND ERP, others) DND requires detailed LSAR: DND needs MSI repair instructions: ex: SEV containers Unclear reqts, subject to interpretation (conflict) Potential contract arising costs IPR issues DND requires breakdown of major components (BOM) to conduct field repairs (deployed) Ability to contract for 3 rd party support Army requires an Initial Data Load tool Army needs to have a tool to interrogate LSA data during the acquisition and ISS phases

31 Army LSA challenges Con t Material Identification & Cataloging Process Incomplete NSN, cage\mpn Discrepancies between Contractor bid submission package (evaluation process) and final deliverables received by DND Requirements interpretations Unclear requirements (DND limited ILS/LSA skill set) Arising/growth Clear definitions of terms MSI (Maintenance Significant Item): LRU/SRU Critical equipment / maintenance / spares

32 Air force LSA & OmegaPS Lessons Learned

33 Air ISSCF Fleets: LSA reqts Overview DND ERP not rolled-out to Air Force Air worthiness reqts Limited use of OmegaPS & Analyzer PD phase Limited project staff ILS/LSA skill set Have detailed R&M reqts (comply regulations, DTA) Implementation phase OEM provided LSA/LSAR & aircraft certification OEM infrastructure: warehouses, staff, expertise ISS Phase OEM to upkeep LSAR & certification data DND ERP: transaction tool, not an LSA tool!

34 6: Final Thought

35 EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH

36 The Future: PROGNOSTICS

37 The Future: CBM & PHM OPERATIONAL BENEFITS Improved System Capabilities Higher Platform Availability Improved System Design (Reliability and Maintainability) Reduced Aborted or Incomplete Missions Less Preventive Maintenance Reduced Corrective Maintenance Predictable Remaining Useful Life (RUL) Lower Total Ownership Costs / LCC Reduced Logistics Footprint

38 PHM Enabler Health Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) COTS technologies Ex: Commercial automobile industry DND Weapon systems Requirements Limited DND HUMS expertise & usage

39 The Future: Availability Modeling Use OmegaPS Analyzer for: Modeling fleet size Validate availability (uptime) For support performance-based contracts (ISSCF)

40 Fleet Management Warfighters (end-users) are interested in Fleet Management Army: tracking Vehicle off Road (VOR) Air Force: Yearly Flying Rate (YFR) Navy: high readiness ships (naval operations)
