  4. Who is NCMS? …not-for-profit technology, information and education consortium providing value-added products and services that enable collaborationand learning among manufacturers

  5. NCMS Mission … is to build the global competitiveness and strengthen the US-based manufacturing industry, private and public.

  6. A Typical Project- What We Do

  7. What is CTMA • Unique DoD/Industry partnership to bring new technologies/practices into the DoD maintenance community to increase weapon systems readiness through increased reliability, improved maintenance procedures, and reduced costs. • Focus program on readiness issues for legacy weapon systems through: • Increased reliability and capability for intermediate and field level repair • Improved maintenance and repair operations at all levels • Increased emphasis on projects of highest value to DoD as determined by DoD (Impact on the Warfighter)

  8. The Basics • Cooperative Agreement between NCMS and the Office of the Secretary of Defense [ADUSD (MPMR)] • Industry co-funding on a 2:1 match basis • In-kind and/or cost share • FY’07 CTMA Funding: $5.2 million • No fixed solicitation schedule • Must have at least 2 DOD entities indicating strong support via a commitment letter from their base commander • Projects generally 18 months or less in duration and less than $800K in federal funding

  9. To date: • 43 Completed Projects; 24 Currently Active Projects • DoD funds: $42 million • Industry In-kind: $108 million • Estimated annual cost savings to DoD: $50 million • Current project backlog • Have over 40 new project ideas, with funding capability for the top 10-12 projects • 33 DoD maintenance facilities involved • 135 Industrial participants

  15. Idea Submission: http://ctmaideas.ncms.org • Project Title: • Project Category: (pull down list) • Problem Statement: • Proposed Solution: • Anticipated Deliverables: • Expected Project Duration: • Organization Level: (pull down list) • Maintenance Process: (pull down list) • Maintenance Comment:

  16. DOD Evaluation Process • Pre-screen ideas and rank according to relevance to DOD (minimize wasted effort pursuing ideas that won’t make it) • Evaluation team is all DOD (OSD, JTEG, etc.) plus CTMA Program Executive Director • No set schedule for reviews

  17. Project Team Formation • NCMS will help form the team, if necessary, and identify DOD supporters • Team effort to define work scope, WBS, and individual SOWs • Team effort to create 5-10 page concept paper • Joint NCMS-Team effort to obtain DOD support letters

  18. Submit to OSD for Approval • Prerequisites to submittal are: • DOD support letters received • Membership applications from all non-members • Points of Contact and Cost Summary forms received from all industry participants • Finalized Concept Paper • Funding available • Submittal Package is DOD support letters, finalized concept paper, and submittal letter from NCMS • OSD promises 20 day turn around

  19. Hurdles for New Project Ideas • What new technology is being developed and implemented? • Not a mechanism for circumventing DoD procurement process. • Development and implementation versus research and development • Is there cross-service involvement? • For broader dissemination of technology • Is there sufficient industrial interest? • Greater than 2:1 cost share

  20. Communications and Networking • CTMA Website (http://ctma.ncms.org) • The CTMA Connector Newsletter • CTMA Symposium 2007, 26-29 March, San Antonio, TX - 37 project ideas identified • 2008 Symposium 7 – 10 April, Baltimore, MD
