More and more focus has been placed on how to deliver cost wise and effective support for our warfighting capability. During the last few decades there have been several different types of DoD logistics initiatives introduced in order to improve supply chain performance, management processes, and increase materiel readiness. Among the aforementioned initiatives is Performance Based Life Cycle Product Support (PBL), which remains a topic of currency and has continued to evolve. PBL fundamentally reshapes how we think about product support strategy development and implementation.This presentation will review some of the issues surrounding PBL implementation in the Department of Defense (DoD). Specifically it will discuss some studies by Defense Acquisition University (DAU) on factors affecting barriers and enablers to DoD PBL implementation Dr. Andre Murphy Professor, Systems Engineering and Life Cycle Logistics, Defense Acquisition University Doctor Murphy joined the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) in October of 2008.

The options to resolve problems are self-limiting the longer you wait. Steve will discuss proactive analysis and strategic decisions that can substantially lower program sustainment risks and costs. Steven Osburn Deputy Department Head, Code 30A, Maintenance Engineering & Industrial Operations Department, Naval Sea Systems Command Steven R. Osburn, Deputy Department Head, Code 30A, Maintenance Engineering & Industrial Operations Department, NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND In 1991 Mr. Osburn became an engineering supervisor in the Combat Systems Depot at NAVSEA, with responsibility over all non-torpedo Depot capability development.

Could you benefit from a reduced component spare requirement? Would your equipment availability improve if you had less repeat/recur failures? Would you save time and money if your depot logged fewer “No Failure Evident” reports on components? Attend this presentation and find out how to implement this cost saving program

CBM+ is basically performing maintenance on the evidence of need. In this presentation you will learn TACOM's Program Focus, CBM+ Framework, Infrastructure/Information GAPS, TACOM's CBM+ Operational View and Program Risks. Mark Colley Program director, TACOM CBM+, United States Army 3:40 Advanced Systematic Approach For Prognostic Realization Across Army Platforms Track B: PBLCS & Total Ownership Cost Reduction Dr. Canh Ly, Principal Research Investigator, United States Army Reserach Laboratory Currently, diagnostic and prognostic development is primarily based on a trial-and-error approach for specific applications. It lacks a systemwide methodology that would enable rapid development and validation. What is needed is a system-wide approach that provides a developed “toolbox” of algorithms that are ready to be deployed and applicable to multiple challenges.This presentation will describe an advanced systematic methodology for developing prognostic and health management solutions by highlighting a set of algorithms used for feature extraction, machine health assessment and health prediction. This overall approach can be demonstrated in select case studies across multiple U.S. Army platforms including aviation, ground vehicles and weapon stations. Dr. Canh Ly Principal Research Investigator, United States Army Reserach Laboratory Dr. Canh Ly received the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the Johns Hopkins University, and the Ph.D. degree in Information Technology from the George Mason University.
