AGENDA
The Challenge
Fleet Readiness Center Concept
Partnerships
High Velocity Repair Loops
Fleet Readiness Center Southeast
TODAY’S CHALLENGE
Aging Weapons Systems– Consumption – Up
– Reliability – Down
– Complex Configuration Issues
Declining Parts Inventories– Obsolescence – Up
– Funding – Down
Vendor Base– Shrinking and Volatile
– Mergers and Relocations
Attain Recapitalization Objectives
– Reduce Workload
– Focus on Savings
Transformation– Realign Infrastructure
– Implement Cost-wise Readiness
Movement to TLS– High Velocity Repair Loops
– Increase Performance Based Logistics Support
– Expand to Other ILS Elements
“A Delicate Balance”Current Readiness Future Readiness
Yesterday’s inventory-intense and sub-optimized solutions are no longer an option. We need a new strategy.

NAVAL AVIATION ENTERPRISE – AFTER Six Geographically Aligned FRCs
Fleet Readiness Center Southeast
FRCS ‐ CREATING VALUE ‐ Expected Enterprise Benefits ‐
Movement of Depot Capability Forward Will:– Lower Enterprise Cost Through:
• Reduced Duplicate / Repeated Maintenance Activity• Reduced Manpower Requirements at Depot and IMA • Reduced Materiel Cost
Integrated Depot And IMA Command And Control Will Enable:– Single Maintenance Entry Point for Depot and IMA– Improve Readiness Through:
• Reduced Turn-around Times• Less Work In Process (WIP)• Improved Reliability / Increased Time On Wing
– Site Consolidation– Enterprise Policy, Standards, and Metrics– Streamlined Feedback of Flight Line Materiel / Readiness Issues into
Modified Maintenance Practices and Improved Materiel Design
Fleet Readiness Center Southeast
FRCsDepot and Intermediate Maintenance Integration
Repairing Components Closer to the Flight Line through Forward Deployed Artisans– Requires Coordination of Efforts between FRCs– Includes Forward Deployment of Artisans From FRC-to-FRC
Repairing Components through FRCSE Customer Service FRCSE Component Interdiction Savings, FY07: – 265 Components Interdicted– $3.7 Million in Cost Avoidance to Flying Hour Program
Total FRC Component Interdiction Savings, FY07:– 2,761 Components Interdicted– $51 Million in Cost Avoidance
Total FRC Projected Savings over FYDP : $1.2B
Reduced BCMs - Reduced Cost and TAT
