CTMA Project #: 142273
Problem: The challenge of extending the life and the mission of critical systems is far-reaching. Many municipalities struggle with maintaining aging systems. Maintaining and sustaining other complex systems, such as commercial aviation, transporta-tion (including metro rails, trucking companies, rental car and taxicab agencies), and heavy construction equipment all face the same challenges. Nothing is as expensive as a piece of specialty equipment that cannot be used when needed due to mainten-ance and sustainment issues that could be solved with a thoughtful and integrated long-term sustainment plan.
Solution/Approach: Phase V is the final phase of this effort, and represents the final strategic activities required to demonstrate the methodology for implementing the long-term sustainment strategy efforts successfully investigated during Phases I-IV. Phase V will also initiate a Strategic Workload Analysis to help validate and extend the TACAMO showing current deficiencies in the force and aid decision makers in how to properly grow the workforce in order to sustain the mission.
Benefit: An implementable long-term strategy could inform other similarly aging commercial, municipal, and DOD systems, as well as create a blueprint for all maintenance and sustainment activities to extend their critical missions for aging assets.
