Project Focus DEPOT Logo goes here Automated Process & Inspection Guide (AP&IG) • Key Metrics – – – – Standardize inspection process & defect data Eliminate paper reference material Capture inspectors head knowledge Portable training aid Easily updateable Reduce inspection time Improve quality 4

AP&IG Program • • DEPOT Logo goes here Inspection flow – Checklist HMMWV, 5 ton, FTMV parts breakdown TM, IETM, SWI DMWR/NMWR Actual photos Head knowledge Training aid Standardized defect information – Component, Subcomponent, Part, Subpart, Location, Type, Issue, Category Example: Front axle: Front halfshaft assembly, left and right side (2): 1 -SHAFT, AXLE, AUTOMOTI: 3 BOOT: NA: Sand/Wash/Mask: Over masking: Minor • Reporting / Analysis – Standard reports – Analyses – Area analysis Regardless of who performs the inspection, the personnel find the same defects, write them up the same way, and quickly analyze them every time (reliable, repeatable process)… 5

Impacts BEFORE • • All handwritten No data standardization Required extensive data mining Example – “Dirt found under vehicle” DEPOT Logo goes here AFTER • • 100% electronic Data fully standardized No data mining required Example – “Wheels: Tires: 1 TIRE, PNEUMATIC: NA: Sand/Wash/Mas k: Cleaning - Presence of dirt, sand, blast media: Minor” • • • Reduced training time 45% Reduced inspection time 30% Analysis from 3 hrs to real-time Standardized data enables immediate root cause / trend analysis capabilities (no data mining)… 6

Summary DEPOT Logo goes here Automated Process & Inspection Guide (AP&IG) • Build on success from CTMA funded pilot project – High value • • Impact quality defects Reduce inspection time / resources Reduced reporting time Reduce rework • Next Steps – MRAP – Other programs to follow… Work Smarter, not Harder 7
