About this Presentation
A comprehensive product support strategy is necessary to ensure a fleet of the VH-92 aircraft is maintained and supported effectively. The main objective of this strategy is to accurately identify the workload demand and convert it into resource requirements. Using Critical Chain project management helps ensure the availability of the right personnel, materials, tools, equipment, and facilities to produce flight-line assets for mission testing, training, deployment, and minimizing logistics delay time. It is important to validate that the resource will be available when needed, manage the spare parts inventory effectively, provide technical support, use advanced diagnostic tools, and maintain a robust supply chain management system. Getting this right ensures the smooth functioning and performance of the VH-92 aircraft.
