Challenges & Priorities Defense Budget Trends

• Defense funding has been at

historically high levels, but the

trend is clearly down

• Air Force funding has grown

since 1998, but more slowly than

DoD

• Budget efficiencies have already

started in FY11

Birthplace, Home & Future of Aerospace

• A service worn out from a decade of war

• Force structure -- Trading size for quality

• Average age of fleet has risen dramatically

• Must still remain true to our service priorities

– The Air Force must not break faith with Airmen

– Ensure continued regional overseas presence

– Maintain air superiority -- The F-35 must succeed!

– Sustain ISR advances made over the past decade

– Committed to Long Range Strike family of systems

Some Thoughts on Quality

“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.”

- Henry Ford, American industrialist and pioneer of the

assembly-line production method, 1863-1947

“You can not inspect quality into the product; it is

already there.”

- W. Edwards Deming, American statistician, professor, author,

and lecturer; considered the father of Quality, 1900-1993

“It is not a question of how well each process works,

the question is how well they all work together.”

- Lloyd Dobyns, American journalist and proponent of the Total

Quality Movement

My Thoughts on Quality

• Not an additional duty -- It’s a full time commitment

• Rooted in management science

• Quality is:

– An on-going process

– Process that produces value & expectations

– Essential to organizational longevity

• Good quality management is:

– Key to customer satisfaction

– Must be applied at the lowest organizational levels

My Thoughts on Quality

• Support ASD’s vision & key objectives

– Develop members & membership value

– Relationship to industry, agencies, & regulatory bodies

• Applaud ASQ’s efforts as Quality champion

– Pioneering international quality standards

– Professional certifications -- “Mark of excellence”

– National Malcolm Baldrige Quality Program Award

– International Team Excellence Award

• Agree cross-sector forums like CQSDI are important

My Thoughts on Quality Quality Success Stories - Air Force Airworthiness

• Air Force assures airworthiness of aircraft it operates

– AFPD 62-6 & AFI 62-601, USAF Airworthiness, 11 Jun 2010

– Applicable throughout system life cycle

10

• Process history

– Prior to 2010, System Program Manager

determined Airworthiness

– Resulted in inconsistent processes

– Lack of credibility with customers

• Revised policy based around

independent certification

– In line w/ Worldwide Aviation Community

Best Practices

– Maximizes use of proven processes

My Thoughts On Quality Warfighter Quality Success Stories

• Propulsion Best Practice 99-06

– Established industry standard for engine safety

– Number of Class A mishaps at record low

• C-17 Initial Delivered Aircraft Quality program

– Communicates newly-delivered aircraft quality escapes

– Increased zero write-up deliveries & drove higher MC rates

• Geospatial Intelligence in Program Design

– Evaluated GEOINT production process using AFSO21

– Cost savings realized via standard work & expectation mgmt
