  8. Lean ManufacturingImprovements for F/A-18E/F In production, stable/declining costs • Optimized assembly and installation sequences • Laser/optical measurement and alignment systems • Automated fastener hole drilling and installation • Continual R&D investment in manufacturing/quality improvement • New, state-of-the-art lean manufacturing facility Significant investment to remain “state-of-the-art” CC42P01011.ppt Acquisition/Support (Cost)

  9. Quality/Affordability Improvements Example: Forward fuselage enhancement • Lean and efficient manufacturing and assembly technology • Part count reduction • Defect reduction • 90% from 1998 to 2003 • Cycle time reduction • Number of parts outside 18 month window reduced from 347 to 6 • Acquisition and life-cycle cost reduction initiatives • U.S. Navy investing $200M for MYP1 • U.S. Navy investing $100M for MYP2 Was Now Was Now Change (%) Part count Fastener count Cycle days Standard hours Assembly labor hours Defect reduction 2,562 30,389 124 2,483 5,900 3,750 1,533 14,948 85 1,867 5,100 600 – 40 – 51 – 31 – 26 – 14 (1st article) – 84 (1st article) CC42P01012.ppt Acquisition/Support (Cost)

  10. F/A-18E/F Is a Low Ownership Cost and High Readiness Aircraft • Advanced technology/ high reliability systems • Quick and easy access to systems and components • Comprehensive built-in test systems • Long life airframe and systems • Designed for environmental extremes • Stable and comprehensive supply network • Designed forautonomous operations • High capability Authorized for Public Release IAW SPR-103.04 dtd 310804 CC42P04048.ppt ILS

  11. Tailored Support • Organizational Level • Extensive BIT, rapid turn around • Daily, Turnaround inspections • Engine remove and replace • Intermediate Level • Minimal investment required • Low cost solution - utilize existing USN/OEM/Regional capability • Extensive capability available • Higher level of autonomy • Depot Level • No scheduled aircraft level maintenance • Component maintenance beyond Intermediate capability atU.S. Depot, OEM or in-country industry • Minimal investment in support infrastructure required to support operations • Worldwide infrastructure in-place • Fully NATO compatible servicing and operations F/A-18E/F support is tailored to customer requirements CC42P04002.ppt ILS
