28 -- Industry Conference for Secondary Power Systems

Ogden Air Logistics Center will host an industry conference November 18th at the Davis Convention Center in Layton, Utah. We plan to address exciting purchasing and supply management initiatives underway in our Secondary Power Systems Commodity Division aimed at returning greater value to the Air Force. Areas we wish to discuss include identifying new sources of supply, increasing the number of competitively purchased parts, improving the performance of sole source suppliers (where appropriate,) exploring new technologies that increase reliability and reduce lifecycle costs, and finding ways to reduce acquisition/production cycle times. The bottom line is our strategies must contribute to a 20% increase in materiel availability, a 20% decrease in overall costs, and a 50% reduction in sourcing cycle time!The Federal Stock Classes (FSC) identified as - secondary power systems commodities and targeted by this conference include 2805, 2815, 2835, 2910, 2920, 2930, 2950, and 2990. In addition to our conference presentations, we have scheduled a tour of our maintenance facility at Hill AFB on the afternoon of November 17th, which you are welcome to attend. This tour puts our operations in perspective, and will help give you a better understanding of our requirements. We also encourage you to meet with our team for a 30-minute, one-on-one session on November 18th or 19th to talk about what your company can offer, and how we might make improvements to our plans. We will contact you to schedule a session once you've registered. To register for this conference, please visit our website at http://www.hill.af.mil/lg2/SecPowerSys.
