War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost AF Standard SEA “Spiral III SEA” Champions: SAF/AQR & AFMC/EN Objective: Develop a common assessment methodology using the Defense Acquisition Guidebook, AFI , and current SE best practices as a baseline Participants: SAF/AQR, HQ AFMC Staff, all AFMC Product & Logistic Centers, Space and Missile Center Targeted as the AAC Spiral III SEA

War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost AF Approach FY08-09 AAC SEA Module Identified as Best Practice –Serving as foundation for AF SEA module –Valuable additions from all Centers Develop Implementation Plan –Develop scoring criteria and assessment methods –Train Center ENs & affected organizations –Run pilot test Plan for 4 program assessments Compare results of all assessments SEA Complementary to SEPs

War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost System Engineering Plans (SEP) DoD/AF Policy Requires SEPs –Applicable to All ACAT Levels –Required Content Areas/Topics Identified –AAC Programs Generated 17 SEPs in CY 07 All Signed by Program Milestone Decision Authority Captured Government and Contractor Information –Leveraged Existing Program Data Completion Tracked/Reported at AFMC & SAF Used the AAC SEP Guide

War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost AFMC/EN Developed Coordination Guidance (6 Feb 2008) –Clarification of current SAF SEP policy –Cross Center coordination/signatures –Joint program coordination/signatures –Center ENs keep e-copy of approved SEP & submit to AFMC/EN System Engineering Plans (SEP) Zero Baseline Documentation (ZBD) Effort Driving Future SEP Approach

War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost ZBD Background D&SWS related initiative led by the Deputy PEO for Weapons, Ms Judy Stokley, for Ms Payton Driven by redundancy and burden of large number of required program plans/ documentation and excessive staffing lead time April 07 SAF/AQ Memo –Identify minimum documentation –Minimum coordination levels Nov 07 SAF/AQ Memo –Endorsement of AFPEO/WP implementation plan –Supports development of AAC Center SEP Create a Center SEP that captures Standard Work

War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost Center SEP Goal: Single document that will be accepted/acknowledged by AFPEO/WP, SAF/AQ, and OSD as the standard SE work/processes for armament and support systems Benefit: Get it right now and NO comprehensive SEP writing will be required for new programs. Minimal program specific tailoring will be captured.

War-winning Capabilities…On Time, On Cost SEP Approach Approach : –Integrated 308 th and AAC/EN Team –Use AAC SEP outline as starting point for Center SEP –Develop material – address sections with standard work potential –Use source documents to capture common processes –Translate common processes into “standard” processes applicable to AAC’s portfolio and all ACAT levels –Identify sections to capture in LCMP Source Documents: –AAC SEP Guide –Existing SEPs (e.g. JASSM, JDAM, SDB2, AMRAAM, HTS) –693 ARSS/HTS Operating Instructions –OSD SEP Guide, AFI , AFMCI –AFPEO/WP Independent Review Team – implementation recommendations
