The DoD Product Support Manager - The First Line of Defense Against the Scourge of DMSMS

Moderator: Mr. William "Bill" Kobren, Director, Logistics & Sustainment Center Defense Acquisition University

Panelists:

  • Mr. John Medlin, Senior Program Analyst, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Materiel Readiness, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness
  • Mr. James “Don” Vance, Logistics Group Leader, General Dynamics, Mission Systems
  • Mr. Daniel Gomez, Product Support Manager, Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) US Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Systems Directorate (AFNWC/NI)
  • Mr. Vince Spellane, DMSMS Subject Matter Expert, Lockheed Martin Global Sustainment & Operations
Panel Description
The DoD Product Support Manager (PSM) is responsible for managing the package of support functions required to field and maintain the readiness and operational capability of major weapon systems, subsystems, and components, including all functions related to weapon system readiness, in support of the program manager's life cycle management responsibilities. As such, the PSM is uniquely positioned to directly impact the scourge of DMSMS through the development and execution of effective weapon system product support strategy. This responsibility took on even greater urgency when the PSM's 10 U.S.C. §2337 life-cycle management and product support responsibilities were expanded under Section 804 of Public Law 113-66 to include identification and replacement of obsolete electronic parts. This panel of DoD PSMs, joined by representatives from industry and the Office of the Secretary of Defense, will discuss lessons from the trenches, initiatives, challenges, and proven practices in the fight to mitigate DMSMS issues facing their programs.
5:00 PM Networking Reception until 7:30 PM

Formal Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative on Supply Chain Risk Management efforts have “sunsetted", but numerous federal organizations have gained positive traction in SCRM. These efforts continue to reap benefits in their attempts to ensure product integrity of hardware, software and services being incorporated into government enterprise capabilities and critical infrastructure. Presenters will come from US government (DoD-DHS-NIST-GSA) and private sector academia and industry.

The Seamless Industrial Base Assessment Process - Promoting Effective Collaboration

Moderator: Mr. Jeffrey T. Shepherd, Chief, Industrial Base Group, Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center, Army Materiel Command

  • Mr. Theodore “Ted” Bujewski, DPA Program Manager, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manufacturing & Industrial Base Policy, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics 
  • Mr. Raymond Willson, Industrial Preparedness Program Element Manager, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition
  • Ms. Mary Grace Dondiego, Director, Industrial Analysis Center, Portfolio Management & Integration Directorate, Defense Contract Management Agency
  • Dr. Mitchell "Mitch" Canty, Industrial Specialist, Strategic Acquisition Programs Directorate, Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime
  • Mr. Brad Botwin, Director, Industrial Studies Office of Technology Evaluation, Department of Commerce
Panel Description
In the past, the Services of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Industrial Base (IB) Community typically operated in a vertically integrated or linear environment. This compartmental approach to IB analysis and risk resolution fosters efficiency, but degrades adaptability by creating numerous constraints. One of the primary shortfalls of the non-collaborative approach is the inability to foster the development of IB mitigation strategies which support DoD level Readiness. The composition of this panel of IB subject matter experts (SME) breaks this vertical integrated environment by providing techniques, practices, procedures, and lessons learned from collaborating together on borderless IB projects. This borderless concept of operations is of significance, since it allows the synthesis of collaboration by enabling the inclusion of non-DoD partners such as the Department of Commerce. One of the key aspects of the collaborative approach is empowering the ability to think modularly. Modularity fosters the ability to decompose analytical process elements into discrete components which can be assessed by SMEs. This approach uses leaders as connectors to foster common assessment platforms such as the Fragility and Criticality criteria, trust, widespread granular communication, and creativity through the enabling of a vibrant human network to resolve DoD Readiness risks.
Panel Operation: The panel will use a Delphi method which is a structured communication technique which enables a systematic and interactive medium based on the selected panel of experts. The primary means of capturing discussion topics will be at the conclusion of the training titled - “Promoting Effective Department of Defense Industrial Base Collaboration.”
Deploying a pervasive collaborative environment always leaves the door open for great ideas, no matter of the source.

It will provide insight into the broader world of DMSMS management and bring some perspectives on obsolescence management from other industry sectors. The panelists include a representative from the International Institute of Obsolescence Management, an international DMSMS collaborative body that shares best practices; the convenor of a team that is developing an international IEC standard on obsolescence which could affect organizations providing obsolescence management services to both domestic and international customers; and a representative from the European rail industry.

Panel: How Smart Connected Data Drives Parts Management Decisions

Moderator: Mr. Brian Mansir, Senior Research Fellow, Logistics Management Institute

Panelists:

  • Mr. Gregory Saunders, Director, Defense Standardization Program Office, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems Engineering, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
  • Ms. Catalina Irani, Senior Program Parts Manager, Northrop Grumman
  • Mr. Alton Sanders, Senior Project Engineer, Boeing Product Standards Office
  • Mr. Michael Thompson, Manager, Electronic Publishing, SAE International
  • Mr. John Pace, Vice President, Publications & Marketing, ASTM International
  • Mr. Rupert Hopkins, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, XSB, Inc.
Panel Description
The Internet of Things is often viewed as a network of linked devices. These devices will enable the immediate sharing of information between specifications and systems in a way that is interoperable between DLA, its customers and suppliers. And the business intelligence collected based upon the actual use of DLA information will enable DLA to more closely tailor information to the way its trading partners actually use it. You will hear representatives from the Government, Industry, Standards Organizations and Technology describe how efforts to build smart connected data and applications will drive parts management decisions across the A&D supply chain now and in the future. The idea of Smart Connected Logistics has been pioneered in R&D efforts including DLA SWISS (Semantic Web for Interoperable Specifications and Standards), DLA MUST (Military Uniform and Systems Technology), and DOD PartLink. Additionally, the concept has been embraced by major standards bodies and is being explored by major prime defense contractors.
