AFCAT/CAST-IT Core Processes

• On-site Support for Improved Procurements
• Identify / Address Root Cause of UFO (Backorders)
• Recommend Capable / Responsive Sources
• Tech Support to Vendor Field Problems
• Manufacturing Deviation / Waivers (339 support)
• Proactive Supply Chain Validation

Integration within BSM

• Business Systems Modernization
• Goal is to prevent some root causes of backorders
  associated with castings
• Internal Data includes Field for Casting
  Required
• 4100 castings identified via CAST-IT sent to BSM
  for UMR update
• Purchase Order Text includes Casting notification
• Additional 25,768 total items (C F) sent to BSM
  for update (added to original 9,000)

Objective

• Problem
• Supply chain constraints have made it difficult
  for Supply Centers to obtain cost-effective
  castings within reasonable lead times and without
  backorders
• Opportunities
• Improved weapon system sustainment and readiness
  using CAST-IT team of application engineers to
  support casting procurements

13
Benefits

• Supply Centers / DoD
• Improved TDPs
• Capable / responsive sources
• 339 solutions
• Shorter lead times
• Improved part quality
• Best value procurements
• Foundry / Casting Supplier / Industry
• Application engineering support
• Prepositioned Supply Chains
• Improved Tech Data via solid models

14
Project Plan and Metrics

• Benchmarking Site Visits (7/year)
• Technology Demonstrations (2/year)
• Technical Support to ESAs (339s) (15/year)
• Technical / procurement seminars(4/year)
• TDP validations (100/year)
• Integrated procurement tool
