ASR has a management initiative to provide industry a full range of services designed to facilitate cost effective Supply Chain Management by using an integrated approach to procuring, producing and delivering services to its customers. We provide a unique range of services tailored specifically to the needs of ASR customers to analyze/develop and improve all functions of the supply chain from planning, supplier selection and evaluation to final product installation and use. As a representative of the customer, ASR utilizes its experience and expertise to plan, locate, qualify and monitor the best vendors/suppliers in the world to meet the customers’ specific requirements as they may apply to supporting manufacturing operations. Gap analysis is employed to focus attention on improvement opportunities that will yield the highest payoff. The categories with high weighting factors (indicating their importance to product development success) and relatively low performance ratings yield the largest gaps between what is important to the organization and what it does well. These are the areas that require the highest priority in improving the development process and will likely have the largest payoff. On the other hand, categories with low importance ratings and relatively high performance ratings indicate low priority areas not deserving as much attention. The strategic alignment analysis and gap analysis becomes the basis for identifying implementation actions and priorities. The concept is to pick a manageable number of improvement initiatives to focus your attention on. PLANNING ASR's Supply Chain Planning (SCP) includes the decision making process and the analysis tools, forecasting algorithms, data filtering tools, and other decision support techniques. This incorporates a multi-user, collaborative approach to forecasting by using multi-dimensional database and integrated workflow technologies. This enables cooperative planning and real time communication with suppliers and customers, share forecasts with suppliers, request products, and broadcast available inventory and capacity to customers. These combine to produce management information about what and when materials are needed from a company’s vendors/suppliers to satisfy the required demand. A supply chain planning system provides the critical link between supply chain strategy and supply chain operation. They involve all the links from internal operations, to suppliers, customer and third party providers. Supply chain execution (SCE) includes the process and technology for communication and executing the decisions from the SCP. ASR has been a leader in assisting customers in designing the best supply chain planning business processes and in selecting the best available enabling technology. A strategic approach to purchasing and supply means involving key vendors/suppliers in long-term plans. To help them meet needs; they have to be provided with the same schedules, forecasts and market assessments used inside the ASR customer business. ASR provides consulting that improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the procurement process and that identifies the best use of enabling technology tools. This includes optimizing how the procurement process is performed, minimizing the cost of what is purchased and simplifying access to the knowledge inherent in supplier relationships. ASR supply chain management services include consulting for manufacturing floor operations improvement. Our consultants have many years of experience, methodologies, and best practices for new manufacturing process synthesis, material flow optimization, workflow optimization, Just-in-Time (JIT) process design and implementation, and quality methods application. We also implement enabling technologies such as factory automation, manufacturing execution systems level systems, intelligent machine level systems and ERP systems. Manufacturers face unique challenges – to make the right products, when customers need it, to minimize raw material costs, to comply with environmental and safety requirements, to exploit e-business opportunities that leverage the power of the Internet and to become more efficient, agile and responsive. In today’s competitive marketplace, agility in manufacturing is a key element for success. All of the global manufacturing assets of the enterprise must be agile and responsive to changes across the extended supply chain. Across the extended enterprise, manufacturing plants can synchronize operations with global business decisions and demand cycles. Business planning can be synchronized with actual plant performance. Production decisions can be made with a better understanding of the supply chain environment. Plants make the right products at the right time and are more agile and responsive to changes. ASR solutions work together to link manufacturing performance with your planning / scheduling systems across the time horizon by implement the next required production order, in sequence, to ensure that daily plans from the asset planning / scheduling function are achieved. Report on success in implementing the plan. ASR uses a powerful solution that supports manufacturing execution, decision-making, and optimization. It provides the manufacturing agility necessary for collaboration with customers and suppliers, enabling the extended supply chain to function efficiently. Using ASR support, companies can execute production plans faster, minimize deviation from those plans, and revise plans in real-time based on actual performance.ASR's logistics and transportation planning includes the decision making process and the analysis tools, forecasting algorithms, simulation tools, and other decision support techniques which combine to produce improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of the way customers physically get their products to the end-using customer. We assist our customers in their value creation tradeoff between customer service and cost management, in their planning and implementation of systems and process improvement, and in their restructuring of distribution center operations and warehouse management systems. SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT ASR works to provide successful, quality focused relationships with vendors and suppliers, which are key to efficient and effective manufacturing operations. Supplier management is the next generation of supplier certification, incorporating business objectives and performance with quality tools. Supplier Management follows key strategies. It promotes cooperation and collaboration with suppliers and uses problem resolution methods to deal with issues. Key strategic initiatives ensure that: ASR's methodologies that support our customers result in optimized utilization of resources and objective knowledge of supplier performance in critical areas such as quality, technology, responsiveness, and cost. SCOPE OF WORK Planning, development, management, operation and maintenance of logistics systems for the movement and maintenance of resources:
SIN 874-502 ACQUISITION LOGISTICS ASR considers Acquisition Logistics to be a multi-functional technical task associated with design, development, testing, production, maintainability, and improvement of systems Cost must be considered in the overall logistics plan. Therefore activities such as ordering, receiving, stocking, delivering, reworking, and reordering, plus supplying spares and technical documentation are all included. ASR considers the key to successful logistics support is detailed planning before the acquisition program starts. A supportability strategy, should be established early in the life cycle of a system. Key ingredients involve Reliability and Maintainability Reliability is the probability that an item can perform its intended function for a specified interval of time under stated conditions. Reliability also is the ability of an item or piece of equipment to operate consistently. Reliability describes in quantitative terms how free of failure the system is likely to be during a period of operation. Maintainability is an inherent design characteristic of a system. The goal of maintainability is to design and develop a system that can be maintained in the least time, at the least cost, and with a minimum expenditure of support resources (such as manpower, spare parts, tools, and test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment [TMDE]). The ASR acquisition logistics specialist must integrate diverse support elements to ensure effective support of a system. Each element must be orchestrated by a single entity to ensure that the resources needed to sustain operations are available when needed. The elements determine the life-cycle costs and the degree of operational readiness of the system. If properly applied and monitored through the design and production phases of the acquisition process, the elements described below will optimize the supportability of the system over its entire life. ASR considers the design interface that is the relationship of logistics-related design parameters to readiness and support resource requirements. These logistics-related design goals specifically relate to system readiness objectives and support costs of the system. Design goals include Improved ease of maintenance and repair and operational availability and reduced MTTR and MTBF. Minimized requirements for total number of parts and repair tools. Standardization of parts and use of multifunctional parts and multi-use parts. Use of modular designs, standard components, and embedded work platforms. Use of known materials and known manufacturing processes. Incorporation of human factors engineering (such as skill requirements, safety, and reduced hazardous materials). Accessibility, visibility, simplicity, and testability (such as built-in test equipment and TMDE). Use of labeling, identification, color-coding, and quick connect and disconnect fasteners. Use of standard data and digitized technical data. Use of open systems architecture for all designs. Maintenance must be considered, and planning is the process of establishing maintenance concepts and requirements for the lifetime of the system. Essentially, this is selecting the appropriate level of maintenance: Manpower and personnel is the element that identifies personnel who have the skills needed to operate and support the system. Once the levels of maintenance are established, manning documents can be developed or changed for the system. Personnel are trained and aptitudes and individual capabilities are considered in relation to the design. Supply support includes all management actions, procedures, and techniques used to determine requirements for acquiring, cataloging, receiving, storing, transferring, issuing, and disposing of items. Parts must be on hand to fix broken equipment. This includes provisioning for both initial support and replenishment supply support and for support and test equipment. Support equipment includes all equipment needed to support system operation and maintenance. Technical data includes technical information on the system in a digitized medium, including engineering drawings, specifications, maintenance allocation charts, and repair parts and special tools lists. Training and training support covers the processes, procedures, techniques, training devices, and equipment used to train personnel to operate and support the system. Computer resources support includes the facilities, hardware, system software, software development and support tools, documentation, and people needed to operate and support embedded computer systems. Facilities are the permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary real property assets required to support the system. Packaging, handling, storage, and transportation includes the resources, processes, procedures, design considerations, and methods used to ensure that all system, equipment, and support items are preserved, packaged, handled, and transported properly. This element covers environmental considerations, equipment preservation for short- and long-term storage, and transportability. Supportability Strategy and Analysis The acquisition logistician is responsible for preparing a supportability strategy that describes the support envisioned for the system. The supportability strategy provides the plan for operational support and the details of how the supportability program fits into the overall acquisition program. The supportability strategy serves as a source document for consolidating and summarizing the logistics support information needed to make sound decisions during the development and production. Integral to the design process is supportability analysis (SA). SA is a set of activities conducted as a part of the systems engineering process to assist in complying with support objectives. The SA is accomplished in a rational, analytical manner. Reliability and maintainability studies, energy consumption, operator training, and transportation requirements will determine the logistics support resources needed . SA is the principal tool for bringing supportability goals into reality. SCOPE OF WORK Provide logistics expertise in all program phases (planning, design, development, test, production, fielding, sustainment, improvement, modification, disposal, etc.):

SCOPE OF WORK
SIN 874-507 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES MANAGEMENT The ASR organization has been developed and positioned to manage, plan and control all our programs to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Our Management personnel coordinate all logistics operations throughout the world and are deeply involved in supply services, strategic planning, project and operations management We have a computerized MIS, which monitors all scheduled assignments, tracks all logistics activities and reports, and allow detail control of our contract. There are several aspects to Logistics Management which include: The project summary which provides a brief statement of the objectives, goals, and constraints in the Project Manager’s own words, which help ASR corporate management to focus on the specific requirements of the project. The resource plan which identifies the resources and quantities required to perform the task work and schedules these resources over time with the objective of optimizing resource use among multiple tasks over the life of the project. During the development of the resource plan, the added constraint of resource availability is taken into account. Budgeting, which is the process of assigning dollar costs to the task and producing costs for all levels of the task. The objective is to produce information needed to cost task proposals and to provide a measuring stick to evaluate progress. The planning function is the process of stating project objectives, determining the accomplishments necessary to reach those objectives, and determining the resources necessary to include people, material, equipment, and facilities. The organizing function establishes the framework in which personnel work on each task. Specific activities performed involve, developing procedures and establishing communications. Project procedures are guidelines, tailored to each task, which provide standards for contract deliverables, approval authorizations, and task policies. Effective communication is absolutely critical to the success of any project. This applies to both internal communications among participants within the ASR as well as communication with our customer. ASR actively utilizes the latest technology to effect rapid and efficient communications with the support program personnel. The means of communications include Intranet, video conferencing, or the development of a support program dedicated real-time Internet web site. The staffing function considers the levels and types of people that will be required over the life cycle of a task. Specific activities performed during the staffing process are:
The controlling function monitors progress towards the goal in terms of schedule, budget, and technical support and determines corrective action to be taken when actual progress deviates from planned progress. The controlling function involves the following activities:
Our established Management Information System is formatted to interrelate management tasks such as establishing work order identification, scheduling via Gantt charts, allocating resources, tracking estimated and actual hours, preparing project reports, identifying critical milestones, providing hard copy printouts of status and schedules for each assignment plus a rollup to any desired level. It is utilized to keep our local Area Managers and on-site coordinators informed of new developments on key topics and business initiatives. This common electronic platform is utilized for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information and knowledge, to and from the Area Managers who are connected to our headquarters LAN system through electronic communication. Our database is a customized collection of current, relevant, and reliable data sources with flexible navigation tools designed to put information in context for key decision makers. The data is a compilation of available resources that ASR can field when an assignment is issued to ASR, our Area Manager can search the database for available resources. ASR’s emphasis is on Project Management, and Strategic Planning. ASR has successfully managed many projects. Our program for the General Electric Aircraft Engine, called “Improving Together” involved supply services and planning to control material from many suppliers located throughout the United States and overseas. We have supported Lockheed Martin, Alliant Techsystems, and Pratt & Whitney with surveillance of multiple suppliers throughout the world. ASR efforts in support of logistics systems include performing operations support and process surveys and recommending improvements and incorporating and maintaining records and reports on trend analysis data from the results. Our actions to monitor the safety of transport equipment and the shipments of defense materials between Military bases reduces the danger of lost cargo. Reports of each shipment and any safety problems are sent to our customer, who then can institute corrective action to improve performance of the carrier.
