Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS 2008) Palm Springs, FL The objective of DMSMS 2008 is to focus on the need for proactive DMSMS management to support the warfighter, and includes activities required to attain this goal such as Value Engineering, Total Life Cycle Management, or Parts Management. To meet this objective our approaches to managing the ever-present obsolescence problem must be examined. Logistics Management of the foreseeable future will require current force support, reset of today's major systems, and development of the future force. This situation requires technical initiatives throughout the Total Life Cycle, preparing for constant changes in industrial base capabilities. As the military seeks a quicker, more lethal warfighting capability, we must also implement business practices that respond to non-availability issues rapidly and efficiently. Utilization of modern information technology to anticipate problems and share solutions becomes a requirement to support the warfighter. This conference will present an opportunity to hear the views of military and industrial leaders on what will be required to support the modern warfighter and a forum to discuss the best programmatic, technical and logistics approaches. » More information September 29 - October 1, 2008 AIA Fall 2008 Product Support Conference - "Life Cycle Product Support – The New "L" in PBL" Performance Based Logistics has continued to grow as a contracting strategy over the past several years. The term Logistics in its traditional state implies support but does not always focus on the full support of the life cycle of a platform or weapons system. This is a critical component in the concept of PBL's, the ability to sustain a system from initial planning, concept, production, and long-term maintenance of that product. Decisions made in the earliest stages of planning and development have a significant bearing on the way a platform is maintained throughout its life cycle. The most effective PBL's are the one that have taken into consideration the long term support concepts and provided solutions that give maximum value over the full life of the product. This conference will focus on the need to look at PBL in the full spectrum of life cycle product support. » More information October 7-9, 2008 Fall SMC Meeting Manhatten Beach, CA » For more information contact Bill Peterson, william.peterson@aia-aerospace.org.
