RLCRS Average Process Hours OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX n RLCRS prep & operations: 139 hours n RLCRS flow time: 67 hours n RLCRS flow days w/2 shifts: 4 n Sanding: 138 hours n Total Process: 278 hours n Total Process flow: 7 days

RLCRS vs. PMB OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX Reductions: n Total Process hrs: 200 -300 n Flow days: 2 -4 n Hazardous Waste: 2000 lbs.

The “Not So Great” OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX Reductions: n Increase in sanding hours n 40 -80 additional hours of sanding n Mostly bottom of AC n Stress/Strain complaints from AC painters n Increase exposure to sanding dust

RLCRS Improvements OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX n EZP building RLCRS for Testing: n Optimization for multiple AC n Variable coating stack ups n Dem/val future system upgrades n Planned Upgrades for RLCRS: n Reduce robot time 15 -20% (30 -50 hrs) n Evaluating robotic assist sanding technologies n Evaluating improved vacuum systems for sanding equipment Built Right. . . Ready to Fight

RLCRS Future Systems OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX n Repurpose C-130 system for increased F-16 workload at OO-ALC (F-35, F-22, A -10, Off air frame components) n B-1 program n AMARG program Built Right. . . Ready to Fight
