Characteristics
Engineering Logistics CONOP
Mandatory Checklist for Planning Support. Each ILS element
will be examined when defining or changing the support plan for
an equipment type. To ensure compliance, routine, mandatory
checkoff procedures will be used to: (1) transition from one
phase of the system life cycle to another and (2) approve design
changes at any phase. Only the Logistics Advocate will have
the authority to waive deviations from standard checkoff
procedures.
Planning for Deployed Logistics. Logistics plans will be
modified to reflect the deployed logistics needs for specific
missions.
B.
Organizing
Integrated Project Management. There will be a mechanism to
plan, manage and execute individual logistics projects across
organizational boundaries.
Configuration Control. Alteration and change will be
managed by a configuration control process which considers all
aspects of ILS during each phase of the life cycle.
Facility, Platform and Equipment/Systems Management.
Facility, platform and equipment/system management will
centralize logistics support planning. Planning and implementing
configuration changes for a platform (or class) or major common
systems will be managed over its life cycle. Usage aberrations
will be detected and corrective actions taken to reduce costs.
For facilities, planning and implementing configuration changes
will be standards based.
Support Unit. Each platform, as well as selected shore
facilities, will have a designated support unit for logistics
support. The types of service a platform or facility may
receive are: procurement, material receipt, material staging,
retail inventory management, parts expediting, transportation,
maintenance assistance, maintenance augmentation, maintenance
shop services, port services, line services, consolidated
spares, material inspection, quality assurance, etc.
Single Point of Customer Contact - Air. There will be a
single point of contact between Air Stations and the Aviation
Logistics System. The point of contact will coordinate Air
Station's needs for technical information, maintenance
assistance and supply support.
Single Point of Customer Contact - Shore. There will be a
single point of contact between the total logistics system and
the unit. The point of contact will also provide the conduit
for customer feedback needed to continually improve the total
system.
