Integrity ? Service ? Excellence
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A Approved for public
release distribution is unlimited.
2
Purpose

• To inform you of the effort to develop and
  deploy a standard, tailorable, measurable, and
  user friendly logistics health assessment tool
  across the Command

3
Problem Statements

• No day-to-day standardized mechanism for
  assessing and measuring program office logistics
  planning and execution
• Logistics module in SMART never fully developed
• Lack of historical decision trail and associated
  impacts
• PoPS is a top level program risk assessment tool
• No drill down capability for specifics

LHA FILLS THE VOID

Attributes

• Designed to complement NOT replace
• Acquisition Sustainment Tool Kit, Independent
  Logistics Assessments (ILA), PoPS, etc
• Horizontal and vertical integration
• Integrates into a program office
• Identifies trends across the Centers portfolio
• Shows connectivity to AFSO 21, e-Log 21, DSWS,
  AFMC BSC, Bell Memo, etc.
• Flexibility for program uniqueness Tailorable
• Applicable across the entire life cycle of a
  program
• Standard work, repeatable, quantitative and
  aggregative
• Documents metric trends
• Uses existing information to maximum extent
  possible

6
Development

• LHA three phases
• Phase I Planning (Product Center Focus)
• Deliverables
• LHA Guidebook
• Develop interim model - AAC Lead
• Beta Testing
• Phase II Sustainment (ALC Focus)
• Deliverables
• WR-ALC hosted 1st RIE in Jan 08
• Next meeting scheduled for 3 Mar _at_ Eglin
• Beta Testing (TBD)
• Phase III SMART Integration
• Spiral 11, Incorporate LHA planning module
  (Spring/Summer 08)
• Sustainment Module - TBD

7
MethodologyPlanning Module

• Assessment frequency monthly or event triggered
• Three top-level modules with sub-modules
• Internal modules
• Logistics Requirements and Strategy
• Logistics Planning and Execution
• External module
• Logistics Support and Partnerships
• System Engineering/Budget and Funding/Contracting/
  Program Transition
• Modules are weighted based on integrated
  logistics elements -- the foundation to design
  in support
• Numerical rating and RYG color code
• All modules and sub-modules are rolled up in a
  single windshield chart
• Trend information displayed

8
Beta Tests

• Completed Beta Testing Oct 07
• P5 Combat Training Systems, C-32 CLS Program,
  B-1 Radar Modernization Program, Joint
  Environmental Toolkit (JET)
• Beta Test results (Product Centers)
• Issue Scoring generated misleading results
  (elements green / roll up yellow)
• Resolution Revised scoring process
• Issue Request LHA criteria be embedded into tool
  as opposed to separate guidebook
• Resolution LHA Tool revised to show criteria and
  scoring
• Issue JET comments from ESC
• Resolution Ensure adequate training is available
  to program office

Customer Comments

• LHA addressed all the supportability/sustainment
  areas required in a program office to determine
  the overall logistics health of a program
• Thanks for the opportunity to provide input into
  the process
• Like the idea LHA will feed SMART and Sufficiency
  Reviews
• Satisfies requirement for more than one
  briefing/status/forum
• The LHA addressed all the supportability/sustainme
  nt areas that would normally be required in a
  program office to determine the overall logistics
  health of a program
• The scoring criteria (R/Y/G) - easy to follow and
  provided enough detail to adequately grade the
  areas being assessed
• The LHA Guidebook provided assessment criteria,
  references, and quick links to perform a complete
  evaluation of the logistics health assessment of
  the program

10
LHA - SMART Integration

• Automated LHA (planning), Summer 08
• SMART integration scheduled
• Fills logistics reporting gap
• Quick on-line assessment of logistics health
• PEO Reporting Template
• Populates PEO Supportability Assessment Quad
  charts
• Reports/output from LHA
• Criteria consistent with PoPs, Unit Compliance
  Inspection, ILA, AS Tool Kit etc.

LHA Rating Form Active Program
22
Logistics Mitigation Plan (LMP)

• Explain (in narrative) the mitigation strategy or
  get well plan for any LHA rating below 80
  (Address both the module(s) and sub-module(s)
  contributing to any rating below 80).
  Accomplishment of an LMP is required with the
  accomplishment of any LHA.
• Logistics Requirements Strategy
• Logistics Planning Execution
• Logistics Support Partnerships
• This information should be archived in SMART for
  the duration of the program in accordance with
  objectives of the LHA to record historical
  documentation of logistics decisions across the
  Programs acquisition life cycle.
