8. Strategic Simulation Approach: Application to Additive Manufacturing
The Department of Defense and other leading organizations have long leveraged the benefits of strategic simulations. These activities allow sometimes disparate stakeholders to engage in activities designed to:
- Promote a shared understanding of the possible and probable
- Share ideas and recommendations for progress, and to
- Test and validate planning assumptions
These activities often reduce the timeline to successful implementation while identifying challenges, and providing executable solutions. The issue of Additive Manufacturing (AM) lends itself in complexity and impact to be an issue what would benefit from conducting this type of exercise.

9. AM for M&S Business Model Wargame
Objectives:
Advance the understanding of the business model of how Industry and the DoD might fully utilize AM technologies and processes
Understand the impact of these changes on the DoD and it’s commercial partners
Define and test assumptions with regard to business and operating model
Sponsors:
America Makes Additive Manufacturing for Maintenance and Sustainment Advisory Group, in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Additive Manufacturing for Maintenance Operations
Event Leadership:
America Makes Additive Manufacturing Maintenance and Sustainment Business Model Wargame Working Group for this event
Co-chaired by Lockheed Martin and Deloitte Consulting
Attendance:
Open to all interested parties; America Makes membership not required

10. Proposed Simulation Focus
Specifically, the simulation could be designed to define and test a to-be-determined subset of the myriad of planning, technical, commercial assumptions and practices which comprise the implementation of AM across the Government and Industry. To create the environment by which to ascertain the validity of these practices and allow the anonymity necessary to provide open dialogue and “game play”, a simulated environment will be created that:
Examines commercial challenges
Intellectual property ownership
Acquisition approaches for part specifications
Revenue generation models
Role of the OEM, DLA, Services
Examines Operations challenges
Part identification
Information processing and data management
Qualification and certification

11. Working Group Planning Tasks
Plan and Execute Simulation Event:
Objective and scenario definition
Analysis and preparation
Invitations / attendance
Event facilitation
After action reporting
Create a set of artifacts for the simulation to include:
The fictitious weapon system, and set of repair parts which may be suitable for AM
Description of the repair parts such as: performance, economics, etc.
Acquisition framework for Industry and Government to test commercial considerations
Scenario development and game moves to allow participants to inform decision-making
