11/15/2011 2

Options

• Reprioritize maintenance efforts as budgets are reduced (Do Nothing)

• Replace select fleets (Too Costly)

• Sustain a downsized deployable Warfighting fleet of equipment (Multiple fleets Training/Warfighting)

No Single Solution achieves objective

Requires a multiple “Factory to tool box” initiative approach • Develop/improve collaborations with

industrial partners to work RCM applications

• Limit overhaul/rebuild cycles to retrofit upgrades

Means and methods to cut maintenance cycle times in half and reduce costs by up to 25%
