Program: B-2 Main Engine Auxiliary Inlet Door (EAID) Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Strategy
Organization: 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadron (SCMS), and 429 SCMS/Enterprise Commodity Council (ECC)
Scope
The ECC has developed a Cross-Functional Team (CFT) comprised of members of the 423rd SCMS, B-2 AFLCMC Program Office, and 531 CMXG squadron. The B-2 EAID team is seeking information towards developing a PBL support strategy to improve supply chain efficiencies, material availability, and supplier base of the B-2 EAID and its subcomponents. The CFT plans to utilize Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to measure Contractor performance to meet critical goals in support of the warfighter mission.
Background
The EAIDs are vital components of the B-2 Spirit and are used to prevent air flow separation to reduce power loss at low aircraft speeds. Ahead of each air intake inlet is a serrated slit-like auxiliary inlet which removes the turbulent boundary layer air, preventing it from entering the engine. This boundary layer air is then mixed with the exhaust to cool its temperature and reduce the infrared signature of the aircraft, part of its low observable system. The B-2 is a multi-role, long-range, high-altitude bomber, capable of flying intercontinental missions without refueling, then penetrating present and predicted sophisticated enemy defenses.
Current EAID end-item depot activation and repair constraints are impacting 100% of scheduled aircraft Program Depot Maintenance (PDM). A 100% PDM task to replace EAIDs with serviceable assets was signed in 2017 but has been deferred since 2019. The B-2 Spirit is scheduled to be in service through 2058.
Developing Strategy
The objectives of this PBL contract are to: (1) improve and sustain readiness; (2) Improve piece part supportability; (3) Activate, increase throughput, and maximize capability within the OO-ALC depot; (4) Improve demand planning and forecast collaboration, and (5) Gain increased...
