Official Department of Defense Press Release: Marines w/ 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit perform post-flight maintenance on an AH-1Z Viper helicopter aboard the USS Anchorage U.S. Marine Corps is studying creation of a formalised aviation maintenance schoolhouse. Currently, each wing has its own processes. U.S. Marine Corps has begun "breaking down and tracking every dime" in Engineering & Logistics budget. "We've never had it to that level of fidelity, but we're doing that now.” We have great maintainers, but how do you make sure they stay? And how do you make more of them?"

Top 10 Predict "Digital Twin" Field Simulation Training Service Tool Replicate Real Time Decision Prep

 
​The problem with mission “Digital Twin” Simulations is that most Marines really don’t know how to properly use simulation technology for it to be useful downrange. Several years ago we were given the assignment to find a way to help make Marines better problems solvers. After a couple years of back and forth discussions, the concept of innovation boot camp was set out.

Marine Corps Leaders are always searching for successful team-building exercises, frequently falling back on team sports or outside experts not in tune with the requirements of Marines. “Digital Twin” simulations offer an opportunity for team-based and  cooperative play that can provide surprisingly innovative team-building  tailor-made to be challenging,  and more likely to encourage repeat play. Game Engines can help your team develop  transferable skills—performing complex tasks while stressed, anticipatory planning, and communications among Marines.

The full potential of the digital twin concept is realised by using models to duplicate operation of complex assets in enough detail to fully understand their performance, even when facing never-before-seen conditions by duplicating operation of the asset incorporating wear or modifications into the simulation model.

The insights from sensors connected to the product or process are used to provide real-time boundary conditions for the digital twin. The digital twin results can be calibrated based on the operation of the actual asset. A digital twin virtual representation of a physical asset--.anything from a single control valve to a machine, a production line makes predictive maintenance possible.

The difference between a digital twin and a traditional model or simulation is that the digital twin is responsive—it receives information from sensors on the physical asset and changes as the asset changes to yield a real-time model of the asset and its performance by looking for inconsistencies or abnormal patterns and find problems that may not be easily identified through visual inspection or other traditional methods.

Digital twin isn't bound by the constraints of time so you can run simulations to predict how the asset will degrade based on factors like age, runtime, or exposure to operational conditions . Using the results of these simulations, technicians can predict how and when the asset is likely to fail, long before it actually does.

Digital twins aren’t a new concept, but their application throughout the product lifecycle is. smart manufacturers will leverage digital twins – and achieve a product-centric and model-based enterprise – across operations.

By creating a virtual representation of an asset in the field using lightweight model visualisation, and then capturing info from smart sensors embedded in the asset, you can gain a complete picture of real-world performance and operating conditions. You can also simulate that real-world scenario for predictive maintenance

Prospects for operational use of “Digital Twin” simulation will certainly change in the future, however, one thing the Marines could do is take advantage of new platform technology, and with virtual reality systems, you can actually build simulators for other field scenarios without having to get the physical equipment. Then you can go through troubleshooting and repair."

As usual, funding is an obstacle and without proper support from Top Brass, real world mission requirements are not going to get money to speed deployment of “Digital Twin” simulation systems. But as the technology develops,  the cost/benefit situation begins to improve and push the Marines toward more simulation.. Right now, there’s a lot of reliance on team trainers. "They could do some things to expand their capacity."

1. Systems design: Design before you build with a visual, simulation approach.

2. Asset-based system of system design: Specify, publish, find, and reuse organisation simulation systems,

3. Product-line engineering: Design product platforms and variants quickly and efficiently, and make better trade-off decisions.

4. Systems model review: Improve product quality and model consistency through early design reviews within a systems modeling tool.

5. Systems model simulation: Validate complex behaviour earlier in the design life cycle, and establish predefined  standards and best practice–based process.

6. Establish an open, flexible simulation system: Such a system is necessary to incorporate information sets from multiple engineering domains and quality control
​
7. Align combat engineering teams for better collaboration: Disconnected combat engineering teams across mechanical and electrical systems working in their own workgroups must collaborate as needed-- utility of systems-level view of products must be evaluated
​
8. Balance vitality and stability: Balancing vitality of innovation with reuse and predictive stability during establishment of an innovation platform for simulation and during product design and engineering.
​
9. Unify simulation connected systems optimisation: A single view of cross-domain system, product, and process is required for successful simulations

 10. Incorporate quality with design and development: Achieving high level of product quality is why simulation virtually validates systems-level view. Assuring Incorporate/embed quality information from the early-stage design through subsequent product phases is key so simulations can more easily flow from system designs into product attributes.


Top 10 Work Order Sampling Examples for Assessing Quality of Logistics System Requirement Activities at Equipment Upgrade/Repair Job Sites


  Equipment Upgrade/Repair Simulations based on Work Order Sampling Status Assessment enables Site Visit Executive to monitor dispatcher learning, behaviour & physical proficiency on jobs by establishing standards for evaluation of dispatchers based on observations of job site performance/progress designed to provide feedback to administrators so Advanced Logistics requirements can be authorised.

Work Order Sampling Observational Assessment helps Site Visit Executive make instructional decisions based on information about individual dispatch teams so better understanding of what content should be included in training materials is established. Specific expectations must be communicated about what dispatchers have to master and what concepts dispatchers are having difficulty learning so adjustments can be made to curriculum.

Appropriate status updates of Job Site performance means establishing types of work order status expected of dispatch teams is logical, suitable way to determine behaviour of activity being observed. For example, collecting work order samples for evaluation aimed at standards established by Site Visit Executive over period of time based on operational requirements is appropriate technique of establishing performance indicators to convey context of Logistics actions.

Job Site Status update programme standards can be used to collect work order observations on instructions with multiple execution steps. Being aware of transitions occurring on job site and writing dispatch team behaviour summaries across the top of the status update application, such as “fills out requirements impacting work order quality quickly and moves on to next task.”

We offer directed helicopter build services to Marine Corps, meeting ambitious project requirements. We have focused on presentations during “Industry Media Seminars” to meet several key areas of performance Marine Corps has identified, framing our goals to achieve increased mission success.We have outlined the skills we can offer Marine Corps at regular “Industry Media Seminars.” Our objectives include demonstrating the utility of our services designed for Marine Corps build projects.

We are improving acquisition processes by focusing on developing smarter solutions that provide more affordable, value-added logistics to Marines. We continue to look for opportunities during “Industry Media Seminars” to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of day-to-day operations, such as re-engineering processes related to improving demand planning, reducing purchasing lead times.

We have described at “Industry Media Seminars” four main areas of emphasis in building a comprehensive set of goals to be communicated to Marine Corps: 1) Helicopter Build Contract Specifications, 2) Project Quote Schedule Administration, 3) Fiscal Budget Conditions & 4) Daily Work Order Actions. Our Goals in meeting Marine Corps requirements for mission success are briefly outlined.

First, at “Industry Media Seminars” we communicate to Marine Corps ability to achieve end-to-end processing, tracking and verification of key mission work order requirements designed to kick-start & complete project quote schedules for critical equipment. We ensure accurate work order construction estimates & budgeting in organising qualified & quality mission builds via quote grouping techniques to identify the right contractors.

Second, we have demonstrated the ability to search & filter key project work orders, controlling who is authorised to access & review different types of equipment for build plans & correspondence. Key to assuring Marine Corps success in meeting goals based on increased mission specifications, one of the major strengths of build services we offered as solutions during “Industry Media Seminars” is accurate Scheduling of Project Milestones.

Third, we provide to Marine Corps mechanisms to process, approve & generate Updates/changes to work orders & invoices crucial to budget determination, providing equipment status updates during “Industry Media Seminars” throughout the build process so the cost basis of projects can be determined. The status of individual contracts, or contract quote groups can be checked to estimate costs required to complete projects.
Fourth, our services are designed with the means for Marine Corps to update work order activities used to keep track of daily build process events & equipment status details at “Industry Media Seminars” in order to keep the entire team in the loop with verification of accurate time & schedule issues critical to success of the project.

Our skills & experience in work order administration for build teams well-qualify us to take on the task of communicating during “Industry Media Seminars” the benefits to Marine Corps of committing to use our Media services for their on-site projects. We look forward to further discussions with Marine Corps decision-makers to better communicate the full scope of services we offer to Helicopter Build Work Orders.



Site Visit Executive has highlighted possibility that usually, in defining system requirements, there is tendency to cover areas related to performance as opposed to areas that are related to support. But this means emphasis is only placed on part of the system and not the whole system. It is essential to take into consideration the entire system when defining system requirements. Summaries detailing results from evaluation of established work order proficiency standards must consist of individualised narrative samples for each dispatcher team assessing the following skill types/levels:

1.  Requirements/Prototyping: Specs established in a systematic way to ensure accuracy & completeness

2.  Initial/Detail design:  Precise, verified functions of design behaviour, or system characteristics/procedures determining satisfaction of provisions

3.  Formal product integration: Specifically established functions, attributes, constraints, preferences & expectations of equipment products.

4.  User status updates: Just as important to specify what system is not supposed to accomplish compared to what system is supposed to do when requirements are complete

5.  Unit/Function testing: Constructed primarily to test the completeness, accuracy, clarity, & concise properties of requirements

6.  Integration/System testing: Creation of dependable, embedded systems to interact with outside field-level operations

7.  Field/Acceptance testing:  Used on regular basis to determine if field levels will be satisfied with equipment product

8. Quality assurance:  Quality preferences on desired condition are placed on attributes to be defined in addition to constraints

9. Installation/training: Operational deployment/distribution to include quantity of equipment product & location

10.  Requirements/Design Rework: Revisit requirements & specifications to fix encountered problems

--------------------

Automated Equipment upgrade/repair platform eliminates static, paper-based schedules for reporting of operational parameters, becoming mandatory practise across Fleet Types. We rewrite supply playbook & redefine playing field by promoting interval scheduling & situation-based, streamlined upgrade/repair operations by better forecasting critical work orders for equipment.

We schedule upgrade/replace operations based on last accomplished date. Monitoring work order periods schedules upgrade/repair activities in verified parts supply systems, accomplishing work in timely manner. Automatic alerts for administration of operations highlight overdue upgrade/repair requirements.

Scheduling rules & situations are driven by technical feedback for critical procedures, detecting any changes in periodic or situational equipment upgrade/repair & adjusts schedules accordingly.

Automatic schedule creation is based on applicable supplier situation checks on equipment condition states. Adjusted schedules are always up-to-date, allowing upgrade/repair technicians & supervisors to create accurate forecasts of work order hours, tools, parts, & test equipment requirements. 

Inaccurate parts supply schedules are a thing of the past. Interactive & narrated dispatch lessons assign training events & track progress of upgrade/repair operations through consistent updates.  

Up-to-date information systems demonstrate utility of performance-based testing. Platforms monitor which actions users perform & recommend applicable training. Training is assigned to users, tracking progress by dispatching master training view functions for mobile operations.  

Content is modular in nature so administrators can quickly determine what training has been completed by each user. New & updated training circuits may be dispatched immediately upon becoming available. Quick deficiency notifications allow scheduling of corrective actions. Notifications are based off minimal input from user.

Operational upgrade/repair platforms gives users personalised to-do-lists, including items such as signing feedback reports, work orders with requirements to be performed by the user, or approvals of alerts, revisions & spot checks. Work order information is filtered based on the role users play in the planned Upgrade/replace system, permissions granted & administrative review. Users only see what they need to.  

Equipment upgrade/replace action views are provided by platform so planned work orders can be tied to equipment condition, allowing users to add well-formed corrective actions into work orders. Simplified Task Dispatch tactics make it easy to see what users must accomplish in day-to-day operations.   

In the past, users tailored work orders to equipment by physically drawing a line through printed procedures that didn’t apply. Now, platforms enable users to create repeatable, automatic line-out steps to create library of upgrade/repair procedures, accessible at any time for a specific piece of equipment.

Customised notes can be created for tools, parts & materials based on localised information like equipment lists, installation of record & serial numbers. The platform we propose stores all information required to reproduce upgrade/repair requirements at a moment’s notice.

Dispatchers administer installation-only requirements to monitor equipment involved in upgrade/repair operation & contract quote determination. Installation will be able to carry out missions with condition/performance instance information stored during upgrade/repair operations & downloaded at a later date.

Installations must enact simple equipment contract quote systems, involving an on-board  monitor of  condition/performance instances. Although system instance alerts are not real-time in this case, areas for concern are marked & stand out when information is compiled. This can alert command as to when equipment issues involved in upgrade /repair operations require additional attention.

Making smart sourcing decisions for upgrade/repair operations can become extremely complex when current DoD process problem are considered:



Top 10 Department of Defense Logistics Limitations

1.     Automated information systems for upgrade/repair operations consist of multiple integrated functional supplier modules to perform accounting, equipment cache status forecasting, purchasing, distribution & scheduling work orders lack internal controls.

2.     Current contract quote systems are fragmented, functionally constraining, outdated technically & unable to support tracking of equipment item Location throughout its life span & across multiple supply lines using unique identifier codes.

3.     Logistics systems cannot exchange information directly between services, instead operates through translation process lacking item lot & serial numbers, leading to sending/receiving process of sharing work order information that is yet to be completed .

4.     Requisitions limited by outdated processes documenting instructions/exceptions detailing what lots of equipment should be pulled from upgrade/repair depots form the great majority of communication processes with suppliers.

5.     Manual instructions increases processing time & lacks visibility b/c no confirmation requisition/order is received or completed. Work orders do not contain definition for “Total Asset Visibility” –defined as “access to complete & accurate information on item contract quotes & location in DoD Supply System”

6.     Since different contract quote information exchange formats are used between installations, additional work order instructions must be issued for standardisation of upgrade/repair processes for uncompleted requisitions.

7.     Manual processes are still used to check & make corrections to upgrade/repair depot item storage capacity are not clear, concise, consistent, accurate, up-to-date & accessible, resulting in overestimates, increasing cost & time required to transform & translate work order information on items appearing to be identical.

8.     Current work order systems do not account for items shipped from upgrade/repair depots to other locations; items are dropped from contract quote records during transit w/o receipt confirmation from destination, resulting in accountability & visibility gaps.

9.     Current contract quote systems lack capability for generating risk assessments of mission condition/performance metrics such as verification of accuracy rates comparing physical levels of items to presence of accountable supply line connection.

10.     Information exchanged between services fails to differentiate between equipment items intended purpose on work orders & supplier details, assigning different lot numbers following upgrade/repair operations but keeping previous number on record, resulting in double counting.

Before release of a formal Request for Proposal to build Weapons Systems, DoD must hold Industry Days to inform contractors about prototype technical requirements, acquisition goals and test/evaluation strategies, soliciting industry input for all weapons system prototype programmes and make sure communications between contractor and DoD are not limited as has often time been the case in past formal source selection process.

Prototype Test/Evaluation stakeholders must establish groundwork to achieve opportunity for free and open communications. In making deal. And emphasise the importance of prototype test/evaluation requirements such as use of test beds, virtual prototypes, incremental test/evaluation and fielding, having interoperable architectures and identification of specific ranges to resolve test/evaluation complexities and mitigate actual or anticipated risks to prototype programmes.

1. Use Prototype Test/Evaluation Strategy to emphasise importance of overall technical approach make system requirements available to industry, in accordance with DoD Component direction and guidance.

2. Discuss Prototype test/evaluation and any trade studies conducted during requirements generation process with emphasis to remain on resulting performance requirements and not on specifics alternatives.

3. Investigate potential prototype test/evaluation solutions responsive to requirements but DoD must avoid becoming fixated on certain solutions.

4. Be aware of situations in prototype construction where user is blinded with preference, acquisition team focuses on solution that works, and industry has exclusive solution it wants to sell.

5. Focus on establishing cost-effective prototype test/evaluation processes and events to generate technical and operational metrics so stakeholders make informed decisions.

6. Must have clear understanding of prototype system/subsystem requirements, encourage contractors to provide status updates of test/evaluation approach.

7. Address prototype test/evaluation strategies and how it was established to reinforce the importance of process/schedule valued by programme office

8. Provide for open one-on-one sessions to facilitate prototype construction but be careful to provide all contractors with equivalent information about requirements without giving away potential solutions offered by other vendors

9. Identify technical prototype areas of interest and encourage prospective vendors to provide information, insights, and suggestions to facilitate process transitions

10. Establish sound performance requirements and well-structured prototype test/evaluation approach and do not lose control of agenda and topics to industry

Dispatchers provide process for assessments of supplier offers/response determining requirements for assistance in drafting specific contract language.


Deficits in DoD Contract Agent Behaviour & Protocol for Directed Spare Part Buys Critical to Mission Success

  DoD equipment repair/upgrade contract agents did not identify & track correct spare parts unit prices, used inaccurate supplier authorisation procedures, did not utilise quote specialists for making cost-effective purchases b/c did not obtain best prices in sole-source contract scenarios, making assumption in contract terms that spare parts costs were trending up when calculating negotiation baselines for successful missions.

DoD equipment repair/upgrade contract agents did not comply with rules for undefinitised contract actions, did not utilise quote specialists to assess availability of spare parts, identify unallocable costs or justify escalation rates for multi-year contracts, were not concerned with competition or substitute spare part suppliers in sole-source contracting scenarios where contract terms require more attention to realise mission success.

DoD equipment repair/upgrade contract agents did not negotiate accurate spare part deals for successful missions, had problems with different units of issue while contractor switches items from buy to make at higher prices w/o justification for follow-on contracts with suppliers & also did not utilise quote specialists to evaluate or implement procedures assessing contract terms to effectively use sole-source contractor evaluation to break out & compete spare parts buys.

DoD equipment repair/upgrade contract agents did not employ appropriate buy techniques & ended up agreeing to purchase excess levels of spare parts at higher prices from suppliers at the expense of mission success, incorrectly applying commercial item definitions & higher price offsets to fit sourcing contract scenario b/c did not document contract terms & did not utilise quote specialists to escalate negotiations with under-performing sole-source contractors or obtain best available spare part prices & procure economic order quantities.

DoD equipment repair/upgrade contract agents did not utilise quote specialists to identify scenarios where contractor inappropriately charged unpriced spare parts to contract at increased unit price resulting from inadequate supplier oversight of sole-source billings, used invalid exceptions & incomplete contract terms assessments as basis for not obtaining certified cost/pricing information for spare parts critical to successful missions.

Although dispatch breakout screening and many logistics actions arising to effect breakout under a variety of situations can be a lengthy, time consuming process, Site Visit Executive has made explicit to DoD provisions for temporarily by-passing the breakout process to satisfy urgent mission requirements. Both the limited screening process for immediate buy requirements and an allowance for actually bypassing the process altogether must be provided for meeting immediate/urgent mission requirements of real-world, field-level scenarios.

Treatment of Parts Supply Line Account Flashes: Implications for Installation Sourcing Ticket Schedules Organised by Dispatchers



Executive Summary:

Dispatchers have concluded that Route Tracker Application systems serve well in addressing operational constraints related to deployment of limited Fleet Components. Route Service Agreements require creation of fiscal & physical Specs Overflow Centres to document associated maintenance work orders from Sourcing Ticket Group Station viewpoints on the utility of Fleet Infrastructure Cost Invoices. Account flashes contribute Repair Reminder Sets for Route Design control of new sourcing ticket standards for Defence Parts Supply Line Connections dispatched according to requirements of established Quote Schedules. Techniques detailing the strength of connections between installations & parts supply lines have been designed to activate Structured Spec Overflow Centre procedures predicting fiscal assessments of Spare Parts Supply Line quality required for Fleet Maintenance work orders. Related issues include surge contingency scenario performance & condition, route service maturity & transparency, investments in Quote Schedule competitions, administrative dispatch concerns & resolution assignment key to determination of force structure portfolios at multiple installations. The Appendix to this report details the impact of account flashes on Spare Parts Supply Contract specifications.

Since Equipment Repair/Upgrade Simulations like the one described in this report were designed for the purpose of training novice dispatchers, they must be given an opportunity to review their contracting strategies for schedule events after simulations so they can be debriefed by the Deputy on what might have gone wrong & where/how there is room for subsequent improvement to be built upon for the next mission requirement scenario. After the simulation, each novice dispatcher should review and itemise their contracting history, and also the contracting chart characterising his or her contracting strategy.    

Although this particular Equipment Repair/Upgrade simulation appears to be trivial, establishing successful contracts & realising return on capital  is a non-trivial task. Good contracting practise meeting mission requirements involves accurate reading of the equipment condition required to meet mission requirements, careful strategy execution & ability to adapt to unexpected changes in mission requirements. As established in previous reports, a controlled experiment can indeed help us to isolate important factors involved in contracting and identify solid dispatch patterns to employ for realisation of winning strategies. 
 
Contracting Charts for dispatchers are composed of three important time series: 1) Expected contract price quotes to be generated by schedule design; 2) Observed contract price quotes; 3) Position balances of contract quotes.
 
In some equipment repair/upgrade simulations, many connections are obvious; e.g., the contracting  chart for one of the best-performing novice dispatchers apparently follows the trend hinted at by both the schedule event disclosure &  price of meeting mission requirements. In some other cases, completely wrong interpretations of schedule events could happen, and in the extreme case, some novice dispatchers might even choose enter into contract positions arbitrarily, disregarding important mission requirements trends.  
    
While experienced dispatchers constitute the fundamental part of meeting mission requirements in this equipment repair/upgrade simulation, most “Operational Noise”, on the other hand, is generated by the speculation of novice dispatchers. In this simulation, we start by constructing a ‘classic novice strategy’ to establish goals of novice dispatchers in meeting mission requirements & proceed from that starting point. However, to prevent novice dispatchers from destroying important trends generated by both suppliers & end-users in mobile operations we will limit price range parameters, controlling how aggressive experienced dispatchers should be in combating “Operational Noise.”
   
In most of our equipment repair/upgrade simulations, we will simply set contract status increment parameters & after the price is randomly decided, novice dispatchers will choose to take extreme contract positions with equal probability.    

Since novice dispatchers may be constrained by a given position status limit, our initial equipment repair/upgrade simulations will randomly decide how much remaining position status it would devote to the new contract. As speculators, novice dispatchers are required to exit all positions at the expiration of schedule events with automatic programming put in place to gradually exit position status determination when event ‘contract status return on capital’ schedule expiration draws near. 
  
The multi-agent model we present  is relatively general and can be used in a wide variety of mission requirement scenarios. As long as dispatchers can generate a list of schedule events that follow equipment repair/upgrade specifications, the Multi-agent model could then generate the desired mission requirements.
   
The challenge for dispatchers is clear: How do we know whether the generated contracting strategies are what should be expected from the designed mission requirements scenario? This is not a straightforward task since the scenario we plan to execute might not have real-world counterpart in mobile operations. Without benchmarking contract status, establishing credibility of equipment repair/upgrade simulations would not be easy. Of course, if the generated contracting strategies are lined up with mission requirements scenarios & carefully reviewed by dispatchers, we probably could create valid assessments qualitatively.  
       
 
However, this technique would not be feasible if we plan for large-scale and frequent mission requirements determination overtaking supplier capacity. Therefore, we require a method that is both quantitative & automated. As a solution to the problem, dispatchers have deployed procedures for determining utility of event schedules:
 
1) Define the schedule event of interest and identify schedule event time series windows. In the case of simple mission requirements, the schedule event of interest & its occurrence is straightforward to define.
 
2) Measure ‘contract status return on capital’ over the schedule event window. Standard Contract status return on capital could be obtained by simply assuming constant mean return models. In the mission requirements setting, it refers to the mean price of equipment contracts from the beginning of the requirements determination horizon to just before the beginning of the schedule event window.
 
3) Define a null hypothesis and perform quantitative tests over multiple sample instances. For all events, the null hypothesis can be defined as ‘contract status return on capital’ = 0. As for the alternative hypothesis, it can be defined as ‘contract status return on capital’ > 0 for positive events, ‘contract status return on capital’ < 0 for negative events, & ‘contract status return on capital’ for neutral events-- or no event.
    
To validate that our multi-agent model indeed creates contracts designed to meet mission requirements in response to recent schedule events, dispatchers created a special mission requirements scenario with only one schedule event. For establishing successful contracts, we include defined levels of suppliers, end-users for mobile operations & no novice dispatcher to avoid introducing unnecessary noise into processes. To collect enough sample points, the same scenario is executed multiple times in sequential series. 

Following the above procedures, we test the null hypothesis with several ‘contract status return on capital’ series. For both positive & negative cases, tests employed by dispatchers imply that strong negative ‘contract status return on capital’ are significant. For no-schedule event cases, our tests indicate that no ‘contract status return on capital’  is detected in the schedule event window.  
     
Compared to the case of validating schedule event occurrence, validating the strength of schedule events is much more difficult. This is because the absolute level of response that should be triggered by schedule events cannot be determined in straightforward manner. Therefore, instead of trying to validate the absolute response strength, we choose to validate the relative response strengths. The objective of this is to ensure that higher impact levels indeed generate larger mission requirement responses when compared to events with lower levels.  
   
To establish this, dispatchers simply performed comparisons between adjacent schedule event strength levels. With this validation, we are at least assured of the consistency in mission requirement responses throughout repair/upgrade simulations.   
   
In this memo, we have presented the efforts of a brigade of dispatchers towards building an agent-based equipment repair/upgrade simulations based on novel models of contracting strategies. Mission Requirement scenarios will progress in subsequent reports though higher-level descriptions of user-defined schedule events. 

Our primary goal in creating disparate schedule events is not to create new contract pricing models. Instead, we have focused on how to construct a highly realistic equipment repair/upgrade simulator to better define dispatcher behaviour in issuing contracts. The results of describing underpinnings of operational factors will be used to improve mission requirement scenario instincts of novice dispatchers. 

Ultimately, our platform model for equipment repair/upgrade simulation might one day be used in benchmarking real interest of defence bosses in embracing important contracting standards as they begin to make mission requirements decisions on how to build solid event schedules with suppliers, on secure platforms designed to utilise new ability for us to monitor dispatcher activity.

Equipment Upgrade/Repair Event Platform Supply Route Quotes Designed for Force Structure Cases


  In this report, force structure event-centered risk equipment repair platform for modifications powered by an automated framework is presented.  The purpose of this platform is to properly train dispatchers. This simulation will progress as repair events impacting supplier capacity warrant.  

Upon receiving notice of equipment repair events reported at multiple installations, dispatchers integrate assessments of supplier capacity predictions, adjust their views on installation requirements & act according to new quote schedules.

Equipment repair action at installations taken by dispatchers have been found to collectively shape force structure adjustment dynamics. We will present the underlying components that are employed for this exercise & discuss the practical significance of such a platform.

Supplier capacity risk assessment has changed from direct exchange services without quote consideration to advanced contracting arrangements according to schedule with dispatchers guaranteeing quotes.

Since the scope of equipment deployment is so wide & future platforms so intricate in design, dispatcher behaviour design has become much more important but also extremely challenging. What makes equipment repair so critical is real-world operations are behind all the quotes in any form.  

Even though the volume in incoming quotes has overtaken capacity of supplier services, real-world quotes are still critical since the supply & demand balance of equipment & subsequent quotes are still the primary determinants behind force structure adjustment cases.  

Key to understanding equipment infrastructure relation to force structure adjustments is the fact that, no matter how complex quotes are, they all need to closely reference services provided by suppliers. Quotes are influenced significantly by all the elements that link together supplier capacity for each side of installation demand signals.  

For example, some of the many factors present in function of repair site disruption or schedule delay of equipment deployment will impact quotes dispatched to repair simulations. Other factors, like work order routing patterns, exert significant impacts force structure adjustment cases.
 
Therefore, to ensure successful dispatcher assessments of supplier risk in a particular force structure adjustment case, dispatchers need to be very familiar with real-world supplier capacity for different types of equipment. These requirements are the primary considerations in deciding what dispatcher training platforms will be subject to automation.   

On the other hand, complex requirements probably also explain why fully automated quote scheduling not taken over dispatcher platforms yet. On some level, this is what motivates our design of equipment repair simulations. 

We want to create work order space realistic enough so dispatchers can be effectively trained & document dispatcher behaviours in the face of complex supplier risk factors, with the ultimate goal of making automated platforms for equipment repair function just as dispatchers would in designing force structure adjustment cases.

Despite the fact that there is an incredible amount of literature in defence sectors that could, in principle, be applied to quote modeling for force structure adjustment cases, in the final analysis, we find them unsuitable for our purposes, since there is a fundamental lack of links between real-world equipment repair events & quote schedule dynamics.  

To address this need, we have designed force structure event-centered risk assessment platforms for repair simulations at multiple installation in which events related to quote automation are detailed according to a series of user-defined events. By allowing events to be defined by dispatcher behaviour, we also grant ourselves the ability of creating force structure adjustment case details that are often overlooked but extremely important to mission success.  

Stated conceptually, our principle goal is create platforms with constructive quote schedules to recruit, train & introduce dispatchers into equipment repair systems. When Installation events are announced for repair simulations, dispatchers will assess risk supplier capacity relations to force structure adjustment cases according to assigned team function. Subsequently, repair events & information will result in equipment deployment according to defined quote schedules.   

Force structure dynamics at installations will be shaped by joint dispatcher actions for simulating equipment repair. As demonstrated in initial simulations we have designed, we have shown accurate quote schedules can be generated with fairly simple dispatcher training strategies.

​



Justification for Dispatcher use of Route Tracker Applications detailing DoD Structured Spare Parts Fleet Upgrade/Replacement Services: 

The primary mission of dispatchers is to create sourcing tickets for distribution of Fleet Spare Parts according to  Cost/Schedule quote status & location at installations that adopt standardised common maintenance work order procedures & invest in part supply line connections by participating in dispatcher-designed Upgrade/replacement Specs Overflow Centres. Route Tracker Applications enhance access to service route repair Reminder Sets by providing Account Flashes for the fiscal & material force structure requirements of installations in addressing surge contingency scenarios.

Establishing Supply Line connections for installations utilising Route Tracker Applications is in full design expansion, even while it is still far from replacing traditional legacy systems as the major source of Fleet Spare parts deployment. Route Tracker Applications offer great opportunities for multiple installations, in particular for locations that are not immediately adjacent to an existing presence of Common Work Orders for Maintenance Upgrade/Replacement operations.

DoD policy makers are often resistant to adoption of Route Tracker Applications due to a lack of familiarity with the design techniques developed for Parts Supply Line sectors, which carries certain risks. Some installations support the expansion of programmes detailing the strength of supply line conference call connections in the sector, but often have difficulty finding sustainable models for time-related fleet condition & performance-based evaluation of Work Order route traffic splits.

Top 10 Questions for Interview of New SES Provide Justification Design Logistics Tactics


  1. How would defence Logistics operations change if your tactics were implemented?

Connecting equipment sourcing lead time schedules & operational readiness results in administration of properly functioning supply route contracts-- critical components for ensuring operational security in the defence sector. Advances in dispatch logistics not only improve the quality of security provided, but also determine the success or failure of any supply route contract quote schedule requests for equipment parts deployment work orders.

New dispatch initiatives will reduce lead times by allowing for streamlined & simplified procurement of items on contracts-- 1) allows ability to get increased work order schedule info receipt from suppliers, 2) enables leverage of influence in interactions w/ suppliers & 3) empowers strategic targeting of key items to ensure their availability from suppliers.

2. Assess the current situation.

For Fleet deployment resulting from upgrades & replacement of equipment components, we have defined a schedule design process & set of dispatch procedures that implement these tactics. The goal of route tracker application design is to break down sourcing ticket problems into sub-problems with schedules composed of procedural contract quote information. During the design process, decisions must be made as to which dispatch sequence to solve next & find solutions achieved by route tracking pattern matching dispatch records of past events stored in the application.

3. What technologies currently exist & what is the Gap?

Current applications typically start by developing an equipment upgrade record system to store results. However, few systems are designed to implement requirements that would automate some aspects of the decision-making processes. The vast majority of existing applications still focus on work orders designed for individual installation requests for supply route service with little or no functionality to support long-term renewal quote schedules for upgrade/replace decisions made across groups of installations.

4. Why are your Tactics novel/better?

The main functionality provided by Plug & Play Common Work Order generation in applications is the tracking of equipment part supply valuation information & maintenance/upgrade quote scheduling using sourcing tickets. The application supports a range of Fleet upgrade specs trajectory sampling dispatch options & capability to link equipment upgrade/replace quote scheduling systems. Links of schedule increase/decrease work are blocked by injecting randomisation to process for work order choice to drop during congestion periods. Spatial traffic schedule domain transit by trajectory samples, i.e., paths taken by random subset of work orders means specific cache entries are detailed. Applications utilising Plug & Play Common Work Orders are not currently widely used at installations mainly due to the extensive nature of surge contingency scenario logistics start-ups by command & requirements for specialised dispatcher expertise to set up and customise the schedule applications at installation

5. What Logistics problem are you solving?

Systematic advances in the surge contingency scenario logistics have been detailed by dispatchers at installations utilising equipment Deployment route infrastructure spare part supply valuation & tracking systems. Plug & Play Common work order solutions are generally used to store & evaluate equipment upgrade specs, supporting operational & strategic decision-making processes for contract procurement quote sample populations to integrate & interpret of upgrade/repair quote schedule applications at installations w/ variable levels of maturity & similarity.

6. Describe your scientific approach.

This product demonstration report is based on a tactical evaluation of expert & novice dispatchers in a controlled & competitive set-up to simulate sourcing ticket problem space. Solutions were generated by both groups providing real-time control for adjustments to force structure lists for surge contingency scenarios. Our intention is to present behavioural properties of dispatchers engaged in modifications of the route tracker application to obtain detailed pictures of dispatcher processes in issuing sourcing tickets. While performance was an important part of tactic evaluation, our emphasis in this product demonstration report is focused on examination of process behaviour during dispatch activity.

7. How do your tactics address the technological need?

The Upgrade Quote schedule systems component provides access to equipment supply tracking & valuation map pattern details of the application designed to provide links between equipment identification tags & spatial features of the sourcing ticket fields. Dispatchers can navigate through sample trajectory populations using the application to create pattern maps based on selected valuation/tracking attributes such as equipment condition index ratings.

8. How are your tactics different than today’s solutions?

Although some existing equipment supply systems support interfacing with Upgrade/Repair Quote systems, very few applications have been designed to support integration w/ both material & fiscal components of service route architecture. Advanced quote scheduling decisions must be based on availability of accurate up-to-date fiscal requirements & requirements to link supply valuation & tracking identification tags to sourcing ticket fields. Embedding requirements in system design of the application is a critical step towards supporting integrated long-term support at installations.

9. What technological challenges will you face & how do you propose to overcome them?

Selecting & implementing equipment supply valuation & tracking applications that best suit requirements of each installation is a challenging endeavour with important short & long term issues to be addressed. Short-term implications are mainly fiscal commitments, while long-term implications involve the requirements for upgrade/replace quote schedules, & return on temporal aspects of installation investments in common case route trajectory sample tracking.

Several directions for future investigation & inquiry can be identified. Of particular interest is the issue of tools to facilitate utilisation of Plug & Play Common Work Orders for long-term renewal logistics supporting supply route architecture. Most existing systems focus almost exclusively on supporting day-to-day activities & few existing systems even begin to offer robust, implemented support for long-term upgrade/repair shared tracking item deployment at multiple installations due to expanding requirements of surge contingency scenarios for mobile operations.

10. How do your tactics advance the state of the art in defence logistics?

In conclusion, the results from this Fleet Upgrade/Replacement Specs report indicate that sourcing ticket documentation did support dispatchers in evaluation of supply route conference call connections. It was found to assist in the creation of real-time instinct representations of dispatchers for solving sourcing ticket problems, enhancing performance. Techniques were designed to be used in reminder sets within dispatcher problem spaces to assist in operational utilisation & solution, with sourcing ticket notation providing for off-loading from the application. Dispatchers had conference call episodes transcribed & tactic evaluation has highlighted the potential for addressing niche markets in defence sectors

Route Tracker applications Supply commanders w/ key operational support for equipment Upgrade/Replacement Quote Operations. As a guide to the evaluation of processes using this approach, we have found the use of behavioural dispatcher tactic evaluation to be particularly useful. It allows command to extract, record & evaluate the full potential of the modernised processes embedded in the application. We have created the potential for revealing operational parts supply line details that might otherwise go unnoticed by decision-makers in charge of designing new applications to automate & speed-up Procurement.

----------------------------------

Schedule Link Systems & Trajectory Sample Options

The route tracker applications support a wide range of Fleet Upgrade/replace specs trajectory sampling options & the capability to link equipment upgrade/replace quote scheduling systems. Links of schedule increase/decrease work are blocked by injecting randomisation to process for work order choice to drop during congestion periods. Spatial traffic schedule domain transit by trajectory samples, i.e., paths taken by random subset of work orders means specific cache entries are detailed.

Top 3 Questions for Equipment Upgrade/Replace Tech Used by Dispatchers for mission success spec Decision-Making


The predictions arrived at by the Equipment Parts quote systems for supply route maintenance schedules & determination of condition & performance-based metrics must be accurate. 


1) Optimise Schedule of Equipment Parts maintenance/modernisation status quotes

2) Calibrating equipment mission condition & performance-based metrics & measures

3) Assessing risks in estimates of operational requirements for supply line service track.


----------------------------


 Optimising Equipment Parts quote collection: 


What? Method for determining sampling plans for supply line construction quote schedules that gives best value for mission success.


 Why? Route service supply tracking requires accurate monitoring of changes in equipment condition & performance-based metrics & measures to build supply route upgrade/replace schedules.


How? Scheduling used a best-fit spatial distribution  technique to identify intervals along the supply route which does not compromise the
relevance of the mission status


Outcome: A dispatch sequence assessed the properties of contract procurement quote status, reducing mission strength test sampling rates compared to current practise without losing any relevance for procure applications.



----------------------------------


 Calibrating equipment condition/performance-based measures: 


 What? Supply Line Service construction for determining force structure requirements for contingency scenarios that replicates the properties of real-world mobile operational and security observations.


Why? Dispatchers need  to calibrate equipment life expectancy of supply route service status prediction applications 
for installations so that predicted contract procurement quote system outcome forecasts can be as accurate as possible.


 How? The application uses the mission concept & distribution technique to tune force structure requirements so that the predicted schedule change demonstrated by supply route service life closely replicates work order status schedule in real-world missions for mobile operations.


Outcome: Two contract procurement quote status of different supply route size & type were used as case in dispatch competition. The application yields calibrated force strucures that closely replicate the actual schedule of observed supply route condition/performance-based measures.


----------------------------------


 Assessing risks in estimates of equipment status for operational requirements of supply route service tracking:

What? An application is required for assessing the risk that predicted  Contract procurement quote status estimates for future equipment supply route maintenance & repair may be compromised.


Why? The risk of comprised contract procurement quote status estimates exist due to the schedule time in equipment supply route condition/performance-based measures, future force structure requirements for surge missions, Fleet Type & Size deployment pattern & maintenance schedules.


How? By providing the contract procurement quote status updates with relatively simple mission-critical scenario inputs, the application produces a population of predicted dispatch schedule status outcomes. This more practical method substantially reduces equipment spec input prep & mission scenario 


Outcome: The use of this application allows dispatchers to produce Contract procurement quote status estimates for supply line service equipment schedule tracking with a high degree of accuracy. 


-----------------------------


What are the operational goals these tactics address for mission requirements?

DoD divisions must consider centralised structures for processing sourcing ticket schedules to meet requirements of equipment upgrade/replace services. Resources should be integrated into current operations with open service messages & standards if user requirements are to no longer be obstacles to core competence. Without action, translation of user behaviour into operational services is at risk & constrains value for specific DoD requirements. Techniques DoD requires for innovative equipment upgrade/replace operation must be constructed with speed, specialisation & flexibility. Without smart customisation, adaptation is time consuming for DoD divisions that must adopt new sourcing ticket opportunities for users.


Is it clear these tactics address realistic mission dynamics? 

Most experts offering advice on how unit consortiums pitch new sourcing ticket tactics to DoD get it wrong. Why? Most experts miss the central point: the purpose of the pitch is to identify user requirements & dispatcher behaviour for equipment upgrade/replace operations, not to teach. You must excite, not educate. Pitching projects nail what DoD is most interested, fostering a dialogue to connect with the head, heart & gut of DoD end-users.

If you want advice about pitching products, you can directly ask DoD users, but you probably won’t get a very good answer. Most DoD equipment upgrade/repair specialists are set in their ways, so they will give you a laundry list to topics to cover. They won’t tell you what really floats their boat, since they are not very good at articulating sourcing ticket scheduling for equipment upgrade/repair support in useful terms. “I know it when I see it,” is about the best answer you’ll get.

What are DoD equipment upgrade/replace specialists most interested in? Decision makers at the other end of the table picking apart user requirements & dispatcher behavioural aspects ask, “Are these tactics going to screw up our current operations?” That is the simple question most experts think they are answering, but they are missing the crux of the process. What DoD should really be thinking is, “Are these tactics the next best next investment for substitute resource sourcing ticket scheduling?” That is a much more complex question, but that is what dispatchers have to answer.

To win over hearts & minds, your pitch has to tell a good, clear, easy-to-repeat story—the story of an exciting new tactics for substitute resource component sourcing ticket scheduling. Positioning promotion of dispatcher skill sets as a perfect fit with other techniques DoD equipment upgrade/replace support have used as well as what the new tactics are chartered to make work, and beat out what DoD end-users are currently considering. These issues are beyond the scope of this Q&A session. So for now, we have just concentrated on telling a good story


What mission opportunities do these tactics open up? 

To survive in equipment upgrade/replace units competing for scarce resources, new protocols shape strategy, planning & behaviour for sourcing ticket success—recognition of external factors is key because unforeseen changes in operational variables present both problems & opportunities.  

Operational target segmentation & positioning formulates the appeal of mixed approaches for budgets, promotion & product appealing to DoD sourcing ticket strategies. But the goal is not just to arrive at new strategy but instead focus on providing value to equipment upgrade/replace segments. DoD must not fall into trap of losing sight of new objectives shaping direction & operation of entire enterprise.

 It is difficult to set equipment upgrade/replace support user requirements & behavioural objectives to do a good job in guiding present & future resources for sourcing ticket objectives. Critical mission signals are required for action & may reside outside control of dispatcher strategies. 

It would be convenient if DoD could set limited number of objectives, such as reigning in costs & detailing force structure adjustments to serve as a guide for scheduling equipment upgrade/replace support. But setting user requirements becomes more complicated, which explains why DoD protocols do sub-par jobs creating sourcing tickets or even don’t do it at all.


How will mission results of these tactics be exploited & disseminated?  

Creation of quality dissemination & exploitation plans for updating sourcing ticket techniques is key priority complete with measured, realistic objectives according to maximising budget timetables. DoD must consider responsibilities for value-driven equipment upgrade/repair activities related to the endeavor & must account for user requirements & behavioural constraints.

Plans should be flexible as possible so target stakeholders are involved in keeping sourcing tickets schedules on track. Participation draws attention to spreading value of operational equipment upgrade/repair plans in terms of materials & technology, also validating mission protocols from sustainability point of view.

Main Aims of dissemination activities include scheduling tool measures designed to allow equipment upgrade/replace specialists outside unit consortium to follow new innovations to reach largest audience possible. Thematic events will be promoted by subject topic areas, aiming to be inclusive of information dissemination activities, an important aspect of dispatcher policy for sourcing ticket project results. Situational examinations of changes in user requirements & behaviour for upgrade/replace support will inform availability of results, with access rights subject to DoD agreements & specific deliverables to treat sourcing ticket issues.

"EQUIPMENT SPARE PARTS REPAIR/UPGRADE TICKETS CALL CENTRE SUPPLY SCHEDULE TELEPHONE SCRIPTS"


Hello, this is Johnnie. I am in the office & connected to the spare parts quotes for maintenance/modernisation of your equipment, but with another installation at the moment. "Please tell me how I can assist you. Leave a message after the tone, including your location, equipment condition metrics status & the best time to call. If there is a supplier cost/price schedule to provide spare parts for your maintenance/modernisation ticket I can access on the system before returning your call, please include details in your message. I will return your call just as soon as possible." 


Why is the spare part quote I need not on my service ticket? 


The spare part quote that you are trying to get may be part of a service ticket dispatchers have determined cannot be subject to repair/upgrade operations. In cases such as that, the part is coded as a throw away item on your supplier cost/price schedule service ticket 


How do I get changes put in a service ticket for my request? 

At the back of each repair/upgrade ticket receipt are several Technical Supplier cost/price scheduling Shortfall Report forms. Recommended changes to tickets should be documented on one of those forms and forwarded to dispatchers so the work order can be completed in a timely manner.


How do I get Maintenance/modernisation System documentation developed for my request? 

If Maintenance/modernisation System supplier cost/price schedule documentation does not already exist for a particular equipment condition metrics transmission, the In-Service dispatcher would be tasked to develop Maintenance Requirement Cards & Modernisation Index Pages for the service ticket


The Maintenance Requirement Card/Modernisation Index page does not agree with my service ticket request. What do I do? 

Maintenance/modernisation documentation takes priority over other supplier cost/price schedule requirements. In case of work order conflicts, complete a Planned Maintenance/modernisation System Feedback form & forward to service ticket dispatchers for determination of spare parts quotes. 


How do I treat Planned Maintenance/modernisation System Feedback reports in my request? 

As in-service dispatch agents, we understand that logistics continues during the entire life of equipment spare parts. This means we need your input on specific work orders. Specifically, we need to hear from you through alteration supply cost/price schedule feedback reports on the tickets. These reports play an essential role in our service to you, providing you with most current and accurate technical assistance for supply, repair/upgrade –maintenance/modernisation of equipment service ticket detailing appropriate supplier cost/price schedule of your installation. 

"Hello, this is Johnnie. It is Sunday so I am watching an NFL game for a few hours. If your equipment condition metrics are urgently deficient & requires an immediate supplier cost/price schedule response, please contact the temporary help desk at extension 1234. Otherwise, I will be checking voice mail during commercials and at halftime, so please leave a message, including your installation’s equipment registration code & the best time to call in your work order. I will return your call with a spare parts quote just as soon as possible, probably after the football game"

"Thank you for calling the dispatch help desk. This is Johnnie, under what installation work order ID code may I direct your equipment condition metrics? If a dispatcher is not available, an automated greeting might be: "Thank you for calling the Dispatch Help Desk. This is Johnnie. If your supplier cost/price schedule request is urgent, please stay on the line to talk to a dispatcher connected to the spare parts quote system. Requests for work orders made by your installation are important to us and we want to make sure you are happy with your maintenance/modernisation results.

If you are not able to resist placing your equipment maintenance/moderisation work order immediately, you may press * at this time to leave a detailed voice message and a dispatcher will contact you as soon as humanly possible with a spare parts quote for the work order—probably after the NFL football game. Supplier cost/price schedule inquiries are checked during commercials & at halftime. You may also send an email message to marinemagnet.com detailing what specs requirements are on the work order. 

Dispatchers need as much equipment condition metrics information as required to assist installation maintenance/modernisation work orders efficiently so it is important to include the following in each dispatch script: Thank you again for calling the Dispatch. Service Centre Desk. We continue to be connected to the spare parts quote system & we are making every reasonable effort to coordinate your supplier cost/price schedule request with other installations"

It’s important to say thank you for calling when maintenance/modernisation work orders are issued. Installations must feel comfortable with calling the Service Centre Desk for assistance in determining supplier cost/schedule availability. If installations do not call as frequently as the calls come in over the equipment spare parts system that means they are going elsewhere for assistance in addressing equipment condition metrics problems.

Dispatchers receive a wide variety of requests to administer service categories to guard against deficits in equipment condition metrics. Through experience & better understanding of equipment service supplier cost/price schedule patterns, the work order ID process becomes less overwhelming For critical situations, consider asking these questions: 1) Is this a recurring problem & should history of installation requests for spare parts quotes be reviewed 2) how critical is the problem to your immediate maintenance/modernisation activity & Is there a work-around?

If the installation work order request is straight-forward or a how-to question, consider this response: "Let me search our equipment specs knowledge base. I’m typing some information into the spare parts quote system. Now I’m waiting for an supplier cost/price schedule to come up on the screen. It should be just a few seconds…" For ongoing complaints that have involved failure to diagnose an equipment condition metrics problem correctly, do not make excuses & address requirements for equipment repair/upgrade directly, focusing on the objective of getting the installation up and running.

Consider a response like: "In reviewing your call history I can see that we have looked at this equipment condition metrics problem several times. In most cases, we are equipped to handle diagnosis & repair/upgrade …However this supplier cost/price schedule situation does require that I dispatch another service ticket. This is our standard operating procedure for work order situations like this that require spare parts quote service"

"May I have the location & work order ID code of your installation? I would like to ask you a few basic questions about your maintenance/modernisation requirements, so that we can process your supplier cost/price schedule inquiry more efficiently the next time you call the Dispatch Service Centre Desk for a spare parts quote.

Installation supply cost/price schedule information is added to the spare parts quote system before proceeding to Qualify the Call. When Dispatchers are clear on what the equipment condition metrics indicate the response is as follows: "Yes, the equipment service supply cost/price schedule pattern is a standard, supported product, and we will install the specs for you. I can easily create a service ticket to have the spare parts service ticket installed. The response time for new installation work orders falls within the spare parts quote standards set by your installation. Is this an acceptable time frame for you?

If not, dispatchers are charged with making an assessement of an appropriate time frame for determination of supplier cost/price schedule patterns. Service ticket approaches vary, depending on the techniques applied for equipment service registration of work order requirements. If the maintenance/modernisation operation requires field support Tech at the installation site, dispatchers schedule a resolution date: "Would you like to schedule an installation date & time that accommodates your supplier cost/price Schedule?

When dispatchers do not have an immediate response to the supplier cost/price schedule inquiry it’s OK not to know the answer, but not acceptable is to mislead the installation into thinking that a work order solution is at hand, or to guess. If it’s necessary to perform some fact-digging about proposed mainatenance/modernisation requirements or specific tasks to address the request, avoid dead air space. This can lead to installation frustration & dispatchers need to communicate what steps are being taken to assist the installation and use this time to build a positive relationship.

"I do not have an immediate answer to your request, because your transmission of equipment condition metrics is not on our standard, supported spec list. What I’d like to do is consult with my team & garner full group participation. Let me first be absolutely certain that I understand your work order situation, so that I can provide accurate supplier cost/price schedule information to the team. I will call you as soon as I have an answer to your questions.

Dispatchers perform the equipment supplier cost/price schedule pattern computations as the front-line help desk tries to resolve as many work order issues as Possible for the installation at the time of the initial call. If the maintenance/modernisation conference call begins to exceed acceptable time limits & issues are complex, or if the installation lacks a detailed assessment of the equipment condition metrics to resolve the issue, the call may be routed or escalated to another support team.

For straightforward maintenance/modernisation requests, the response is simple: "I can help you with that work order & thank you for calling the Dispatch Service Centre Desk." Using polite closings--e.g., "Have a nice day"-- will make installations feel better about their equipment crisis, advancing their assessments of the supply cost/price schedule estimation services provided by dispatchers.

If the installation request requires Call Routing or Escalation redirecting complex maintenance/modernisation issues to another dispatch team, the supply cost/price schedule determination conference call should further document the situational status of the installation and provide work order status updates to the front-line staff. If service tickets extend beyond the service level agreement response and resolution time, follow up with the installation should be considered.

Communication in defining maintenance/modernisation requirements is everything. "Your work order request will be given to a tech specialist immediately & I will get back to you within an acceptable time frame If we do not have a complete answer to your supplier cost/price schedule inquiry, I will let you know what I have learned about our ability to provide a service ticket for your equipment. When would be a good time for me to follow up with your installation on your supplier cost/schedule issues?"

Dispatchers recognise the importance of not making the installation repeat equipment condition metrics information when there is a transfer ticket being Processed for another repair/upgrade team, which should be fully briefed with the supplier cost/price schedule information documented in the spare parts quote system service files. Internal tracking & good communication practices for assessing work order status should be common knowledge and relayed in turn to the installation.

Front-line Service Centre Dispatchers are usually responsible for the spare parts quote service ticket throughout the ticket equipment deployment sequence. If for some reason the request is not resolved quickly & additional work order registration for equipment condition metrics requirements are necessary to complete the service, it is the responsibility of the front-line dispatchers to provide installations with periodic updates on supplier cost/price schedule patterns & if the equipment condition metrics problem has reached a critical stage follow up on the maintenance/moderinisation operations is always required.

Dispatchers may relay the following supplier cost/price schedule information to provide spare part quotes for equipment maintenance/modernisation: "We are still assessing the situation detailed in the work order, and have not yet identified a solution to the equipment condition metrics problem. At this time we are unable to provide an estimated time for equipment repair/upgrade. I know you don’t want to hear this, and I regret that this happened over the course of your inquiry. We will fix the supplier cost/price schedule problem as quickly as possible 

Sometimes it may be necessary to alter the greeting in order to maintain installation maintenance schedule link sequence such as during the provision of work order status update due to system outages, or when special events occur that compromise the transmission of equipment condition metrics, so special supplier cost/price schedule scripts are usually created for these situations.

For example, in the event that an equipment maintenance/modernisation work order file over the spare parts quote system is down or saturated, installations might initially hear this automated status message: "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our supplier cost/price schedule estimate process. The estimated downtime is currently unknown. If you need further assistance, please stay on the line."

Dispatchers have developed systems to evaluate equipment condition metrics in order to give installations work order options in accessing spare parts quotes over the equipment service system, so the greeting script might end with an instruction: "If your installation would like to access the spare parts quotes immediately, dial extension 1234 and a dispatcher will assist you." Service Centre Dispatchers are available 24/7 to deal with changing equipment maintenance/modernisation issues so the greeting may reference a number where installations can reach another dispatcher with the key to the supplier cost/price schedules

If this is an emergency spare parts quote inquiry, please page me at the following number to investigate your work order: 555-1212. Otherwise, you can always leave a message after the tone detailing your equipment maintenance/modernisation requirements, "Please include your installation, Equipment condition metrics and the best time to call. I will return your call just as soon as possible as supplier cost/price schedules become available." 


--------------------------


Dispatchers have determined several appropriate equipment deployment decision-making styles & supply route design processes & detailed for DoD series of Yes & No questions to ask for the dispatch of each work order and building  contract procurement quote  interface decision-making models based on the responses:

1)    Is the technical quality of the decision required by DoD very important?

2)    Are consequences of not coming up with a successful solution significant for DoD?

3)    Does a successful outcome for DoD depend on dispatcher commitment to the decision?

4)    Must there be dispatcher buy-in for the solution to work for DoD requirements?

5)    Do dispatchers have sufficient information to be able to make decisions for DoD independently?

6)     Is the problem well-structured so that DoD can easily understand what needs to be addressed & what defines a good solution?

7)    Is DoD reasonably confident dispatch teams will accept registration even if DoD does not make decision explicit

8)    Does DoD have the time or will to follow-up on work order protocols & directives?

9)    Will there likely be conflict within DoD as to which solution is best? 

10)   Are dispatcher objectives consistent with the goals DoD has set to define a successful solution?


Persistence & motivation are the driving force behind every successful dispatch Unit. In order to dispatch quality work order correspondence for DoD over contract procurement quote interfaces, each unit should have their own set of goals they will aim to accomplish. You must report your conclusions with confidence to DoD. Dispatchers are not expected to know every detail about the unit representation of supply route frequencies for the virtually unlimited combinations of equipment deployment patterns tasked by DoD to meet required force structures, but you are expected to sound confident. Check your emotional baggage at the door when dealing with DoD, otherwise this will not be the unit for you.

The key to the position is being able to deal with the inattention of DoD when finding solutions to equipment deployment is important. Don’t let a bad hour, day, week or month discourage you. If you let it affect your confidence, it is sure to decimate your work order correspondence over the contract procurement interface between installations. In a global DoD supply route structure such as it is, sounding discouraged will surely lead to inefficient equipment Deployment.

Dispatchers that have persevered have developed multiple problem solving & decision-making criteria for equipment deployment work order dispatch. The benefits of such process techniques include blocking confrontations that happen during when both DoD & dispatchers utilise unique problem-solving styles in the discussion of supply line route parameters related to addressing issues that arise over the contract procurement quote interface when multiple installations approach the same problem at different times. We have highlighted requirements for equipment condition/performance metrics & measures to be consistent with scheduled supply route links established for equipment resource sourcing.

DoD may focus on available work orders from the information at hand and see what can be learned from it. DoD should look for gaps in dispatcher knowledge & processes, and either try to fill or take account of them. This is where dispatchers assess past work order trends & try to present DoD with extrapolations from historical supply route instances. DoD may look at problems using intuition, gut reaction & emotion to try and anticipate how dispatchers will react.  Dispatchers must try to take account of DoD responses to equipment deployment problems which do not fully understand dispatcher reasoning.

DoD may look at all the bad points of the dispatchers decision-making process. Dispatchers should look at criticism cautiously & defensively in design of supply routes. Try to see why it might not work. This is important because it highlights the points in equipment deployment plans that should be placed in a work order process suspense file. It allows you to eliminate or alter steps & prepare contingency plans to counter them. Further, this style helps to make dispatcher plans tougher & more resilient, in order to spot fatal flaws and risks before embarking on a course of action.

DoD may recognise the benefits of helping dispatchers think positively when assessing equipment deployment problems. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps dispatchers to see all the benefits of work order decision and the value in it. This type of perspective helps DoD to keep going when it looks difficult if not impossible to establish supply routes & stands for creativity. This is where dispatchers can find creative solutions to work order problems. It is a freewheeling way of thinking, in which there is little criticism of ideas.

We have designed a whole range of creative supply route tools to help DoD here. Dispatchers must invest in standards for work order process control, usually used by DoD during contract procurement quote interface calls between installations. When running into difficulties because ideas are running dry, dispatchers direct activity into other types of work order project progress. When equipment deployment contingency plans are needed, dispatchers will ask for other techniques as well.
