Forecasting DMSMS

QUESTION SCENARIO
QUESTION

Good afternoon,

I am looking for anyone who can tell me, is it possible to forecast DMSMS/Obsolescence without hiring or contracting out an entity that has a sotware program to do so? I am trying to see if we at the PM can start forecasting, without having to bring on an outside agency to pull reports for us!

I also am interested in joining the DoD WG Team Page, but I cannot find the area to register here.

Perhaps the Air Force Digital Transformation SharePoint site modeling tools​ can assist https://usaf.dps.mil/teams/afmcde 

Content Author… October 4, 2022 - 11:24am

It's been my experience (15+ years as logistics engineer) that the cost associated with DMSMS forecasting cell as a product office task is cost prohibitive.  I work in a product office in Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) and we have a service from AvMC Engineering that we use to manage our obsolesence management program.  Its a much cheaper option that trying to put together the resources required to accomplish the task effectively and it's a government owned operation.  

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center's Obsolescence Engineering team created a system called the Multifunctional Obsolescence Resolution Environment tool-database. MORE is a government-owned engineering analytical obsolescence and DMSMS management information system, maintained by AMRDEC.

We provide the system tech data package with the indentured parts list and they utilize a massive database to track all hardware and monitor the manufacturers of the products.  It works pretty well as long as we keep the TDP updated in their system.  The challenge is that often times COTS items like chipsets or circuit card assemblies go end of life with little notice from industry and we have to scramble to resolve it.

 Good day all, 

After looking through the SD-26 the SAE-STD-0016 DMSMS Management plan is called out a few times. When trying to find the SAE-STD-0016, all we can come up with is a pay site to view and download it. (sae.org included) Is this available for download within DAU for viewing. The link within the tools/documents area takes you to the sae.org site and ask for purchase. 

Very Respectully,

Grant Korte

Hello Grant - The SAE-STD-0016 is a commercial product - therfore it costs money to obtain and is not available for viewing or sharing with through a government site.  There are any number of sites that will sell you access to the standard and I cannot recommend one over the other.  You should check with your organization to see if they already have purchased a product to provide access, or whether there is funding available to purchase the standard.

QUESTION SCENARIO
QUESTION

I am looking for a simple, 1 page, survey to send out to OEMs to capture their lifecycle intent on parts.​  Questions like: is the part at the end of it's lifecycle, how much longer does the OEM plan on manufacturing the part, etc.

Does anyone have one they would be willing to share?

Thanks.

SCENARIO

​Good morning Brian, 

Just from experience with the Programs I have worked on we usually ask the following questions.

1. Are units still being manufactured.

2. Does the OEM/Supplier anticipate having repair capabilites for LRU/WRA through BLANK (Insert intended EOL for Platform)

3. Are there presently any internal components that are difficult to procure during the repair cycle?

4. Does your company actively track the bill of materials for DMS issues?

5. Would you like (Insert Company Name) to provide an annual DMS report after receipt of BOM?

These are just some of the questions that we ask and we always request access to BOM's however in most instances we don't get it due to intellectual property. Sometimes if it is another vendor that is doing the repairs other than the OEM we have been able to retrieve BOM's or partial BOM information with a break down of the components that they repaired within the LRU. Also, if you're working with a DPAS Rated Program I would be sure to include that within your survey, you would surprised how many suppliers over look a DX Rated Program. For any LRU's/WRA's that we get no feed back on we work with the Program Office to have meetings with the OEM to ensure that they are activley supporting/tracking components for DMSMS issues. Anyway hope this helps you and feel free to email me if you need any additional support.

Sincerely, 

Derek Waters

DMS/MS Lexicon

QUESTION SCENARIO
QUESTION

​Good day all, 

I am currently building a DMS/MS program. We are developing Lexicon to use throughout the Coast Guard to hopefully build a standard framework. What I am requesting the community possibly help me with is vetting what I have developed. During my DAU training, I have found these terms but as I developed these terms, I have not been able to find the reference.

The terms are below:

 OEM End of Production -  A part of a larger system that is no longer manufactured by the original manufacturer. ​

End of life (EOL) or End of sale (EOS) / End of Production​
Original manufacturers typically begin issuing updates regarding EOL in year 5. The original manufacturer will no longer be producing or selling this product, but third-party maintenance is available for most products.
OEM End Of Support Date –  ​OEM has identified as the date they will no longer support the Product​ 
When the OEM will no longer provide repair services, repair parts, firmware or software updates, cybersecurity patches, etc.​
End of service life or End of support EOSL / End OEM of Support Date​: At this point, the original manufacturer will start to issue EOSL updates. It may also stop issuing support. Now, the product is no longer sold by the manufacturer at all, there will be no more OS updates, and they do not renew support agreements.
Govt Defined Obsolete Part/System – ​
Most often occurs sometime after the OEM EOS Date, when the Government is unable to (afford to) ​
ensure the Product meets Operational Availability (AO), Reliability, or Maintainability requirements;​
A determination that the Product can no longer meet Operational, Functional and Non-functional Requirements: Interoperability, Compatibility (Interface), Security, Performance (bandwidth), etc.; ​
When the Government can no longer to afford to support the Product to meet AO or other Operational Requirements (e.g., RFDS PCBs increased 10x (from $4K to $46K), rendering it unaffordable to sustain).​​

When the LTB (Life Time Buy) the process for purchasing discontinued Components or Products (i.e., those no longer available from Flextronics, a Component Supplier or any other distribution channel) to span Product Life or Support Life requirements, as applicable, for that Component or Product
Thank you all.
Very Respectfully,
Grant

Hi Grant! Thanks for using the discussion board to ask us this question. I've taken a preliminary look through some sources and also reached out to some SME's. However, I'm having some trouble finding your email, would you mind reaching out to me directly at [email protected] so I can connect you with some resources? Thanks!  -V/R, Alex

Edit to add: I will provide an update with final responses to this post so the forum can benefit.

Summary

Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)/Obsolescence is defined as the loss or impending loss of manufacturers of items, suppliers of items or suppliers of raw material that occurs when manufacturers of items or raw material suppliers discontinue production. DMSMS may occur at any phase of the life cycle of a system and must be monitored down to the lowest repairable level of the system. DMSMS impacts have the potential to severely impact weapons systems cost, schedule, and performance. This is attributed to rapid changes in item or material technology, production support requirements, foreign source competition, federal environmental or safety requirements, and limited availability or increasing cost of items and raw material supplies. DMSMS problems are an increasing concern as weapon system service life increases and product life-cycle time decreases. The problem is further complicated by the reduction in the industrial base dedicated to military equipment. In the past, programs have predominantly addressed DMSMS issues through an independent reactionary process. This has lead to poor response times and escalating DMSMS costs for each program. This DMSMS SWP outlines how to create a proactive DMSMS Management Program that: Ensures that all parts and material to produce or repair the platform are available Reduces, or controls, Total Ownership Cost (TOC) Minimizes Total Life Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM) cost Eliminates, or at least minimizes, reactive DMSMS actions Evaluates design alternatives Provides for risk mitigation as it applies to DMSMS Evaluates more than one approach to resolve DMSMS issues Collects metrics to monitor process effectiveness NAVAIR’s Industrial & Logistics Maintenance Planning/Sustainment Department (AIR 6.7) is committed to delivering quality products to its customers and embracing continuous process improvement. In this regard, it is expected that all AIR 6.7 employees will use this SWP during system acquisition and will continuously look for opportunities for improvement of our processes and products. Use of this SWP by other logisticians is encouraged.
