Learn. Perform. Succeed. Defense Science Board Principal Findings and Recommendations

Learn. Perform. Succeed. Systems Failing Reliability During Operational Testing (OT)

Learn. Perform. Succeed. Impact of Low Reliability on Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Recent Logistics Management Institute (LMI) and Army studies investigated relationship between reliability and Life Cycle Cost (LCC). Both studies concluded that reliability investment during design and development reduces support cost –LMI study concludes that: 30-60% reduction in support cost is achievable Reacting to lower reliability after IOC (vice during development) results in significant support cost increases OSD CAIG study shows that support costs are two-thirds or more of total system cost –DoD should address acquisition and LCC strategies concurrently Support cost bill payers should participate in requirements definition and trade studies during development Upfront Investment in Robust RAM Effort Emphasizing Reliability Growth Reduces Life Cycle Costs Upfront Investment in Robust RAM Effort Emphasizing Reliability Growth Reduces Life Cycle Costs

Learn. Perform. Succeed. Reliability Availability & Maintainability (RAM) Findings Acquisition Reform implementation had a detrimental impact on RAM practices –With some exceptions, the practice of reliability growth methodologies was discontinued during System Design and Development (SDD) and deferred until production –Relevant military specifications and standards were cancelled and not, in all cases, replaced with industry standards –The technical/managerial workforce was reduced in most government program offices and test organizations RAM shortfalls are frequently identified during DT, but program constraints (schedule and funding) often preclude incorporating fixes and delaying IOT&E In some instances, programs had such serious RAM concerns that they were precluded from proceeding to production until the problems could be corrected. Improved RAM decreases life cycle costs and reduces demand on the logistics system

Learn. Perform. Succeed. USD(AT&L) Memo “RAM Policy” July 08 “…the single most important step necessary to correct high suitability failure rates is to ensure programs are formulated to execute a viable systems engineering strategy from the beginning, including a robust RAM program, as an integral part of design and development. No amount of testing will compensate for deficiencies in RAM program formulation. To this end, the following RAM-related actions are required as a minimum:” Identify and define RAM requirements during the Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS) process and incorporate them into the Request for Proposal (RFP) and as a mandatory contractual requirement During source selection, evaluate the bidders’ approaches to satisfying RAM requirements Ensure flow-down of RAM requirements to subcontractors Make RAM, to include a robust reliability growth program, a mandatory contractual requirement and document progress as a part of every major program review Develop a military standard for consistent RAM development and testing that can be readily referenced in future DoD contracts Ensure an adequate cadre of experienced RAM personnel are part of the Service acquisition and engineering office staffs

Learn. Perform. Succeed. Roles and Responsibilities of Government Test & Evaluation (T&E) Organizations “…the aggregate lack of process guidance due to the elimination of specifications and standards, massive workforce reductions in acquisition and test personnel, and the high retirement rate of the most experienced technical and managerial personnel in government and industry has a major negative impact on DoD‘s ability to successfully execute increasingly complex acquisition programs. Major personnel reductions have strained the pool of experienced government test personnel A significant amount of developmental testing is currently performed without the needed degree of government involvement or oversight and in some cases, with limited government access to contractor data The current trend away from governmental involvement in DT makes operationally oriented testing in some areas during development even more difficult to accomplish
