Maintenance Initiatives

• SHIPMAIN the maintenance process
• Waterfront Integration the organization
• NEMAIS the tool (SAP)

3
Why SHIPMAIN?

• Address current maintenance and modernization
  challenges
• Lack a common process and single process owner
• Excessive handoffs across multiple organizations
• Unclear accountability for results
• Funding administration uncertainty cause
  churn
• High Premiums paid in execution cost due to
  inefficient upkeep planning
• Excessive spending on ALTS designed and procured,
  but not installed

4
SHIPMAIN Goals

• Install a common planning process for surface
  ship maintenance and modernization
• Increase the efficiency of the process without
  compromising its effectiveness
• Install a disciplined management process with
  objective measurements
• Institutionalize the process and a continuous
  improvement method (JFMM feedback)

5
SHIPMAIN Philosophy

• Minimize Growth and New Work (GNW) through
  better planning and earlier MSR involvement.
• Implement a Maintenance Figure of Merit (MFOM)
  approach to prioritize maintenance.
• Change the culture to effectively reduce
  premiums paid by managing GNW.

6
SHIPMAIN

• CFT-1 Requirements
• CFT-2 Package Preparation
• CFT-3 Placement and Oversight
• CFT-4 Alterations and Modernization

7
CFT-1 Requirements

• Maintenance Teams focal point
• Planning Board for Maintenance
• One-step work brokering and screening
• Prioritized 2Ks Maintenance Figure of Merit
• Continuous flow of 2Ks to MSR
• Auto screening of ICMP 2Ks
• ICAVs provide electronic 2Ks
• Metrics, metrics, metricsmore metrics

Ship Maintenance Teams

• Primary responsibilities Focused on a Specific
  Ship
• Identify and prioritize required work IAW
  consistent MFOM validity and accuracy
• Determine when and where work items will be
  accomplished - based on business practices that
  reduce cost
• Match resources to prioritized requirements
• Oversee availability execution

Small cross-functional team executes planning and
oversees execution
10
CFT-2 Package Preparation

• Master spec catalog
• Establish reusable specifications
• Provides template for new specs
• Package prepared by executing activity
• Robust feedback for new specs and cost returns

11
CFT-3 Placement and Oversight

• Coordination of MT and Contractor
• Continuous Technical Advisory Reports
• Govt estimates not required
• Multi-Ship/Multi-Option (MSMO) contracts
• Flow of maintenance items between CNO and
  continuous maintenance availabilities
• RMCs control funding

12
CFT-4 Alterations and Modernization

• All ALTS through same process
• Two Types Program (K) Fleet (D)
• Mission and BG Interoperability focus
• Hierarchical decision making model
• Prioritized list ALT Figure of Merit
• Engineering/BCA filters applied before extensive
  development of an ALT

13
Waterfront Integration

• Fleet initiative
• Combines RSG, SIMA, FTSCLANT and SUPSHIP
  Portsmouth
• All RMCs (non-shipyard) similar
• Mid Atlantic (Norfolk)
• South East (Mayport)
• South Central (Ingleside)
• South West (San Diego)
• Personnel reductions achieved through attrition

14
Waterfront Integration

• Goals include
• Eliminate redundancy
• Standardize processes both regionally and
  nationally
• Implement the SHIPMAIN entitled process
• Reduce reimbursable work gtgt mission funded
• Somewhat more difficult in Norfolk due to
  complexity, geography, market and density

NEMAIS

• NAVSEAs solution for ship maintenance
• Somewhat cumbersome at present
• U-NNPI Certification in progress
• Evaluating additional NEMAIS seats for MA-RMC
  functions
• Need support while awaiting convergence

18
ISSUES

• No layoffs
• Optimal Manning on surface ships PMS
• Reimbursable work for FTSCLANT
• Shift from FFP to MSMO contracts
• Four unions to negotiate with
• Surface ship maintenance in the MED/GULF

19
AND MORE ISSUES

• Connectivity and AIS
• 500 instructions to merge
• JFMM update
• Funding churn
• Lots of moving parts
