I. Project Descriptive Information:

Project Title: Analysis of the Potential Impact of Additive Manufacturing on Army Logistics

Project Topic/Subject: The purpose of this research is to examine additive manufacturing and describe the potential impact it could have on Army logistics. Army standard operating procedures for logistics will be examined to identify potential benefits, costs and risks that could be realized as a result of incorporating 3D printing technology. Our methodology will include examining companies that have incorporated 3D printing into their operations and identifying any benefits realized. A comparative analysis will identify how 3D printing technology could affect Army logistics operations in theater. In the conclusion of this project we will identify the pros and cons of the processes and provide recommendations for further research on other potential applications.

Project Objectives:

a. Identify operations of industries that have incorporated additive manufacturing

b. Outline process before and after implementation

c. Determine the effectiveness of operations post implementation

d. Outline standard Army logistics operations

e. Model potential operations incorporating additive manufacturing

f. Identify potential advantages/disadvantages

Background: Additive manufacturing technology has been steadily evolving for nearly three decades. As the technology improves, and price goes down, more industries are incorporating it into their operations. In a deployed environment, the U.S. Army relies heavily on supply chain management to conduct operations. However, with rapid acquisition of equipment in recent years, users often identify problems associated with equipment post­ deployment. In the event of failure of parts that are not a part of the authorized stockage list (ASL), deployed units will have to order parts

Acquisition Research Program Application Page 2 of 4

and have them shipped from the United States. Additive manufacturing could provide the Army with the ability to produce or modify parts in the deployed environment.

II. Activities Expected for Project Completion

Problem Identification: For more than ten years the U.S. Army has been conducting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Continuous operations have taken a toll on already aging · equipment. Coupled with the fielding of equipment through rapid acquisition, there is an increasing requirement for parts. The requirement of parts from resupply points or shipped from the U.S. increases downtime and reduces readiness.

Appropriate Data: We will need to clearly describe processes utilized by different industries before and after incorporating additive manufacturing. Next, we will need to describe Army supply chain management in theater. Finally, we will apply lessons learned in industry to the Army's model and describe potential benefits additive manufacturing may provide.

Appropriate Analysis:

a. Evaluate the processes before and after additive manufacturing in industry

b. Assess advantages and disadvantages

c. Apply to Army logistics operations

d. Determine/assess the potential benefits additive manufacturing may provide

Accomplishments:

a. Summarize the state of knowledge of additive manufacturing.

b. Clearly identify the major considerations for/against incorporating additive manufacturing in the future.

c. Provide recommendation for procedural changes if implemented.

d. Provide recommendation for organizational changes to facilitate incorporation.

☐ Yes ☐ No Administer a questionnaire or survey.

☐ Yes ☐ No Conduct focus groups or interviews.

☐ Yes ☐ No Observe human performance behavior or activity, directly or indirectly (e.g., online, through analysis of information systems, crowd sourcing, etc.) with or without individuals' knowledge.

☐ Yes ☐ No Record human performance behavior or activity using audio, video, or digital recording methods.

☐ Yes ☐ No Use of biospecimens or information about individuals and that is not available to the general public (i.e., cannot be obtained via a Google search).

☐ Yes ☐ No Perform hardware and/or software tests that include representative users in the testing process.

If “Yes” is checked in any of the boxes above, a Human Subject Determination Request Form must be filled out, signed by the advisor, and sent to the HRPP Specialist at IRB@nps.edu. If the student and advisor are certain the proposed activity involves human subject research, they should proceed with submitting a full human subject research protocol. IRB forms are available at available at https://my.nps.edu/web/research/irb-home. Student Statement of Assurance. Please check each box confirming you have read and agree with each statement.

☐ The answers provided above are accurate.

☐ I understand that if I have checked “Yes” to any of the activities I must submit a Human Subject Determination Request Form to the IRB and await the IRB’s determination before engaging in that activity. (A full human subject research protocol may be submitted in lieu of a determination if the student and advisor are certain the proposed activity involves human subjects research).

☐ I agree that if all activities are checked “No” initially but the research evolves to include any of the above activities, I will request a new determination before engaging in that activity.
