What Are We Doing• Focus on Capitalization (equipment

modernization)• CBM+

– Using sensors for prognostic/diagnostic information and/or equipment condition

• PMCS changes• Collapse of Echelons of Maintenance

– Consolidate at Intermediate Level• Personnel

– Knowledge Capture

The Way Ahead• Better Business Practices• Depot Maintenance/Partnerships• ILC

– Collapse Echelons of Maintenance– SecRep Management

• Autonomic Logistics• Repair Cycle Time (RCT) Focus

– Process improvement using Warfighter Portal

The Way Ahead• TLCLM

– Autonomic Logistics– CBM+

• Educational Alliances– Penn State School of Business
