    Study Notes

    Operations Flight Objective and Management

    • Operations Flight's objective: Effectively operate, maintain, and repair Air Force facility and infrastructure assets (real property or real property installed equipment - RPIE).
    • Maximizing mission accomplishment and return on investment (ROI) is key, from an Air Force-wide, risk-based perspective.
    • Utilizing common reporting tools and procedures for data gathering, analysis, and decision-making on operating, maintaining, and repairing assets is required.
    • Responsibilities include execution, management, and oversight of facility operations, maintenance, repair, materiel control, work planning, customer service, service contract management, and operations engineering.
    • 24/7 capability to respond to and eliminate facility/infrastructure emergencies.
    • Compliance with environmental, fire, and safety laws, codes, and directives.

    CEO Organizational Structure

    • CEOE (Operations Engineering Element) is crucial for Operations Flight.
    • CEOE combines customer service, planning, and requirements optimization.
    • Responsible for optimal resource decisions and execution across all Operations Flight activities.
    • Ensures all data and knowledge from all Operations Flight shops are used in AMPs and investment plans.
    • Sub-sections:
      • Requirements & Optimization (CEOER)
      • Service Contracts (CEOES)
      • Materiel Control (CEOEM)

    CEOER - Work Management

    • Focused on shifting the Operations Flight paradigm to proactive systems performance analysis, resource optimization, and lifecycle requirements planning.
    • Two main lines of effort:
      • Work Management
      • AMP/Sub-AMP management
    • All key work management and materiel acquisition processes start and end in CEOE.
    • Goal is to aid CEOE teams in moving from Basic to Developing capabilities (based on Maintenance Excellence Institute's Reliability Pyramid).
    • Playbook is a guide for enterprise-wide performance improvement.
    • Personnel size is not a guarantee of capability maturity. Maturing programs are fragile.
    • AFCEC will develop benchmarks, KPIs, and reports to measure performance once sufficient installations reach a steady state in TRIRIGA.

    Operations Flight Resource Realities

    • Operations Flight processes have evolved due to manpower and funding reductions.
    • Spanning maintenance to construction at home station and overseas.
    • Primary role is caretaker and advocate for existing real property.
    • CEOE was created to efficiently facilitate the lifecycle of infrastructure assets in resource-constrained environments.
    • Key elements of the lifecycle include Acquisition, Maintenance & Repair, Operations, Recapitalization & Renewal and Disposal.
    • Facility management accounts for 60-80% of the total cost of ownership for a facility, according to the IFMA model.

    Managing Operations Flight Manpower

    • Understanding available time (capacity) for addressing requirements is critical.
    • Calculation of deployable work hours using C-FTEs and Availability Rate (AR).
    • Examples of AR reductions: supervision, leave, time-off awards, training, and indirect time.
    • CE emphasizes proactive systems performance analysis and lifecycle requirements planning over low-risk sustainment/enhancement work.

    CEOE Deliverables

    • CM Analysis and Planning (in-house and contracted work).
    • PM/PO Analysis and Programming (risk management-based).
    • Requirements identification and prioritization using Sub-AMP and AMP processes.
    • Support to CEN for contract execution.
    • Process and issues management for Sub-AMP assets/systems.
    • Focus on asset management and investment decision-making, answering questions about where to invest and optimizing spending.

    Preventive Maintenance (PM)

    • Basic Capability:
      • Monthly: Complete PM requirements in SMS and TRIRIGA. Ensure data integrity.
      • Quarterly: Ensure >25% of direct labor is dedicated to PM. Ensure PMTLs exist for all assets.

      • Annual: Validate annual PM program.
    • Matured Capability:
      • Semi-annual: Verify risk matrix events and PM program accounting for seasonality, zones, exercises and mission requirements.
      • Annual: Assess PM routing strategy for maximum efficiency, and finalize plant operation vs. PM tasks.

    AMP and Sub-AMP

    • Basic Capability:
      • Monthly: Validate internal shop capacity supports Sub-AMP requirements.
      • Quarterly: Ensure Sub-AMP Working Groups convene.
      • Semi-annual: Update meeting and deliverable timelines for CTO and Facility Utilization Board.
      • Annual: Ensure valid requirements falling below a cut-line are captured for next FY.
    • Developing Capability:
      • Monthly: Identify assets consuming most PM/CM labor.
      • Quarterly: Validate Sub-AMP investments in AMP/Investment Plans and ensure issues are documented. Compare CM reports to SMS. Analyze and review PM schedules.
      • Semi-annual: Provide TRIRIGA/SMS reports for all Sub-AMP and AMP managers. Validate asset utility, performance, and get well plans.
    • Matured Capability:
      • Monthly: Review 7-year execution plans when new information is available.
      • Quarterly: Validate 7-year maintenance plans, ensure holistic asset health assessment, and confirm identified requirements are planned for the appropriate out-year execution.
      • Semi-annual: Validate Sub-AMP manager review of 7-year plans.

    Materiel Control

    • Basic Capability:
      • Baseline: Determine total inventory value, number of line items, and average deliveries per day.
      • Monthly: Review funding documents. Ensure CoMC attends WRRB.
      • Quarterly: Review materiel-complete facility projects. Notify shops of materiel arrival.
      • Semi-annual: Review annual inventory.
      • Annual: Review physical security, facility condition, and end-of-year procurement plans.
