This issue of “The Flyer”
marks the half way point
through my assignment as your
CO and we are deeply im-
mersed the implementation of
the changes recommended in
the RPT report. Notable ac-
complishments so far include
achieving steady state sustain-
ment of the Budget and Strat-
egy Leadership Teams. I am
confident that we have institu-
tionalized those processes.
Change is hard, and our biggest
cultural change revolves
around our implementation of
Critical Chain Project Manage-
ment using Theory of Con-
straints. We have recently
“gone live” with the MRR and
SRR Product Lines as well as
the Industrial Operations Divi-
sion. It will be a number of
months yet until we realize the
results of this effort, but I am
confident you will all find that
it will have been worth the
effort. We still have much
work to do regarding the
Training Team and they are
beginning to make good pro-
gress with a goal of full imple-
mentation by the beginning of
FY16. Our efforts to achieve
certification of our Quality
Management System to the
Aerospace Industry standard
(AS9110) and an Occupational
Health & Safety Management
Systems certification (OSHAS
18001) are well underway with
the goal of achieving these
standards by April of 2016.
This paragraph has clearly de-
scribed lots of change. We are
at an inflection point in our
implementation and must re-
main aggressive with our ef-
forts to ensure we can get the
point where we are coasting
down the sustainment side of
this “mountain of change”
with all of these new processes
a part of our culture. Thank
you for your efforts – you are
doing great things!

provided a unique opportunity
for junior enlisted members to
pick the brains of senior
enlisted members, CWOs, and
officers from more than eleven
ratings and specialties within
the Coast Guard. Topics in-
cluded personal financial plan-
ning, professional and personal
development, career goals and
organizational policy. Members
interested in the aviation rat-
ings were able to ask questions
from experienced maintainers
regarding job tasking, job satis-
faction, culture, what to expect
from ‘A’ school and life at their
first aviation unit. Overall,
more than 50 personnel par-
ticipated with positive feed-
back to and from the organiz-
ing commands.

The IOD Avionics and Electri-
cal Shop have a distinction
unparalleled by any other shop
in ALC history. They currently
have 6 Internal Auditors as-
signed to their shop out of 18
employees. Internal Auditors
are vital to the success of the
ISO Program at ALC. This
collateral duty function usually
involves roughly 8 hours of the
employees’ time away from
their job per audit cycle and
there is enough of an Internal
Auditor Force that they are
generally assigned 2 audits per
year.

know that we purchased our
first 3D printer over a decade
ago. The Industrial Operations
Division’s CAD/CAM shop
incorporated the use of this
technology to reduce the cycle
time and cost of prototyping
iterations in support of compo-
nent production. This design
verification process drastically
increased the likelihood of
meeting form, fit and function
criteria and eliminated a signifi-
cant amount of resource waste
by reducing the number of
shop floor production cycles
required.
As 3D printing technology
advanced it shifted from a
“rapid prototyping” tool to a
production resource. The In-
dustrial Operations Division
sought to be on the cusp of
this technology, understanding
that the cost savings in the
production phase would far
exceed the savings realized in
the design phase. The Fortis
400mc was acquired by the
Industrial Operations Division
in 2014 and is a production
series 3D printer that has the
capability of housing seven
different types of build materi-
als, four of which IOD cur-
rently has online. These mate-
rials meet many OEM specifi-
cations which allow for a
greater range of build options.
IOD currently produces eight
RFI components on the Fortis
with many more being added.
One example is a component
utilized in the overhaul of the
HC-144 seat. At a cost of over
$400 and a lead time that
would not meet the schedule
demand of the ALC this com-
ponent is now produced in
IOD by the Fortis at cost of
less than $20 and a 48 hour
lead time.
Although the Industrial Opera-
tions Division maintains the
ability to prove design concept
virtually overnight, we believe
the future in 3D printing lies
within the production capabili-
ties and intend to capitalize on
this facet as the technology
continues to evolve.

In early December the ALC
MRR Product Line received
notification that Air Station
Sitka, Alaska, had discovered a
1.5” crack in the main trans-
mission beam of CG-6032.
After considering multiple
scenarios, it was determined
that the best course of action
would be to send technicians
out to facilitate the repairs
while the unit prepared the
aircraft for the maintenance to
be performed. The MRR Prod-
uct Line received support from
the LRS Product Line as CG-
2004 delivered the necessary
parts and tools required to
affect the repair ahead of the
team arriving in Sitka. Expect-
ing to spend more than six
weeks on site, artisans Ron
Quigley, Marcus Williams,
Mark Jackson, and Tony
Daniels completed the replace-
ment of the forward, aft, and
left main transmission beams
21 days ahead of schedule. Due
to the complex nature of the
component reinstallation, the
MRR Product Line also sent
four mechanics, Rick Bunting,
Mark Clark, AMT1 Scott Har-
rington and AMT2 Trevor
Tufts, to lead the component
inspection and the reinstalla-
tion of major components to
include both engines and the
main transmission gearbox
during the two weeks following
completion of the repair. With
communication to the Product
Line hindered by a four hour
time zone difference, numer-
ous after-hours consultations
occurred between maintenance
personnel in Sitka and person-
nel here in Elizabeth City.
Overall, ALC technicians per-
formed more than 380 hours
of maintenance over the course
of four and a half weeks. Hun-

TOC & CCPM—A Path Forward
LCDR TJ Schmitz, BOD
By now most of ALC’s work-force has been exposed to the principles behind Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) or engaged in the process of implementing and sustaining the effort through the use of Full Kiting, changes to our business practices and Concerto. ALC began this endeavor as part of the contin-ued effort to ensure ALC re-mains DHS’s aviation depot level repair facility of choice. We’ve learned the principles behind the methodologies are formed around ensuring that we focus our workforce around the right priorities as defined in the critical chain. Simply, it’s about “Having the right part at the right time and
prioritizing efforts of our arti-sans”.
To support the artisans at ALC
the MH-65 and MH-60 supply
cells have been diligently work-
ing to identify our Fully Kitting
requirements for each stage of
production. Through changes
in our business practices, each
full kit delivery timeline now
begins when the aircraft is in-
ducted, is tied to milestones
and contains all the essential
parts required to complete that
particular stage of work. As
part of the full kitting effort,
repair parts processed through
the Industrial Operations Divi-
sion are now scheduled to
meet the kitting delivery time-
lines.
In late January ALC artisans
began using “Concerto” to
support all the moving pieces
of TOC/CCPM. Concerto is a
tool that tracks each aircraft
along its network diagram
through the PDM process.
The tool helps ensure that we
are focusing the efforts of our
artisans on the right daily pri-
orities.
Each morning our work lead-
ers view Concerto to determine
what’s the top priority of the
day and begin working on that
task utilizing the maximum
available resources. At the end
of the shift they check off what
tasks they accomplished and
more importantly what’s the
expected duration of work
remaining. Every evening Con-
certo runs a buffer manage-
ment process across each

a procurement request package
completed and ready to submit
to the contracting officer by

Successful financial reporting
requires AMMIS entries that
are accurate, complete, and
timely, and is therefore an all
hands effort. The ALC needs
your continued effort to be
able to report our solid stew-
ardship of resources.
The FY15 audit season will
begin April 1st. Procurement,
supply, and accounting staffs in
all divisions will once again be
asked to provide documenta-
tion with short notice. Thank

the priorities are for the next
morning. This process con-
tinuously repeats itself to meet
ALC’s delivery milestones.
As ALC moves from imple-
mentation to the sustainment
stage it is imperative that we
remain focused on the core
principle’s of TOC/CCMP and
follow the business practices
developed by our TOC core
team. TOC/CCMP is a proven
methodology that has helped
other military aviation depot
facilities meet their customers
needs. The use of Concerto,
full kitting, and changes to our
business practices will help
ALC remain as the aviation
depot level of choice for DHS.

In addition to conducting in-
ternal audits the Airworthiness
Team is also established a stra-
tegic goal of earning a National
Airworthiness Counsel (NAC)
recognition and becoming ISO
9110 certified. The NAC,
which consists of the airwor-
thiness authorities of the
Army, Navy and Air Force,
developed a process in 2013 in
which they review and recog-
nize different aviation pro-
grams around the world.
While the NAC will review the
Coast Guard’s Airworthiness
program holistically (focusing
on authorities, policies, and
engineering standards), ALC is
also pursuing ISO 9110 certifi-
Training, Material, Leadership,
Personnel, and Facilities
(DOTMLPF). The inspection
teams consist of three mem-
bers: a Team Lead (typically a
CWO or O4), a Subject Matter
Expert (Coast Guard member
or an expert from the DoD),
and a Policy and Quality As-
surance representative. To
date six technical audits have
been completed including the
welding program, Automatic
Circuit Analysis Test Systems
(ACATS) program, bearing
program, SRR Gearbox over-
haul process, material handling,
manufacturing/machine shop
and warehouse Quality Assur-
ance Inspection of receipted
parts. Near future audits in-
clude the Non-Destructive
cation which is an advance-
ment from our current ISO
9001 level. ISO 9110 is a qual-
ity standard for aviation main-
tenance and repair stations.
Between these two certifica-
tions the ALC will be inviting
two different external agencies
with different focuses auditing
the Coast Guard’s aviation
program; one specifically for
airworthiness policies and an-
other for overhaul mainte-
nance activities.

Letter of Appreciation
Jonathon Dalstra Jason Williamson
John Ritter
A key initiative of the Require-
ments Planning Team (RPT)
was the development of an
Airworthiness Team consisting
of members from CG-41 and
ALC’s Engineering Services
Division (ESD). The intent of
the team is to ensure adequate
processes and policies are in
place to support the Coast
Guard’s self-certification of
aircraft. For the past year the
team has focused their efforts
on two areas: aircraft overhaul
processes of ALC and the Air-
worthiness Certification proc-
ess itself.
To improve ALC’s overhaul
process a technical audit pro-
gram has been established to
inspect internal programs with
respect Doctrine, Organization,
