Unlocking operational excellence: The role of Performance Management Framework in Whole Fleet Performance

Keeping the fleet ready at all times is the goal. Getting there is the challenge. Working with military program managers, maintainers and supply chain managers around the world, we’re solving that challenge with an informed approach to fleet management.

Whole Fleet Performance is a combined solution of services and technology that lets you get a full view of in-service support performance, identify and manage any process or output that impacts fleet readiness, measure performance against actual, and achieve peak readiness of your assets.

Preparing for the unknown creates a challenge for fleet management. Military operators need historical and current data to evaluate and predict for every situation and remain proactive – not reactive – to changing environments. Whole Fleet Performance uses the Performance Management Framework (PMF) to provide operators with a full set of metrics to help you make accurate, data-informed decisions on fleet availability, materials, maintenance schedules, and so much more.

What does PMF look like?

Imagine you can have a view into your metrics for maintenance turn-around time, off-the-shelf-parts-availability or holding levels that showed the bottlenecks and mitigation solutions to solve for the issues?

Managing your fleet and coordinating with the many different crews to avoid unplanned downtime or a shortage of parts is a bit of a juggling act. It doesn’t have to be. With the PMF, you have access to advanced supply and support applications, a team of experts around the globe, and the best practices for creating a complete view of the people, processes, and technology involved in staying mission ready. Our people have years of global sustainment experience, bringing the knowledge and know-how to drive operational efficiency and cut costs. 

There are other solutions and applications in the market, but only Whole Fleet Performance offers the most integrated, flexible, and proven solution. Using advanced data analytics and an open architecture, the solution framework gives you the flexibility to adapt and scale to your specific sustainment requirements. Implemented with global forces around the world, you can trust that the PMF is proven, having maintained high operational readiness and success, and serving as a continuous improvement tool for military operators.

Understanding the Performance Management Framework

The Performance Management Framework offers military program managers a comprehensive perspective on fleet management, empowering them to make predictive, informed decisions with hard data. Utilizing this framework, we can:

• Gain a holistic view of ISS performance: The PMF allows us to see the big picture, integrating various elements of fleet management into a cohesive strategy all through a single application.
• Identify key outputs and processes: It helps pinpoint all key outputs and key processes that directly impact fleet availability through a single user interface, having all information available at your fingertips. This identification is crucial for effective performance management.
• Measure performance against design intentions: The PMF lets us create a management design that is tracked and measured. It can measure items such as planning efficiency, fleet status and mission aborts. Using this actual performance data, we can measure against the intended design, helping to proactively adjust, ensuring accountability to the plan, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Benefits of implementing the PMF

Adopting the PMF leads to numerous advantages:

• Enhanced operational readiness: With a clear understanding of our fleet’s performance metrics, we can make informed decisions that enhance readiness.
• Cost reduction: By optimizing maintenance schedules and resource allocation through data-driven insights, we reduce time spent on inefficient processes, make maintenance and support crews more productive, and significantly reduce costs associated with fleet management.
• Improved decision-making: The PMF empowers program managers to leverage data for strategic planning and operational decisions, ensuring our forces are always prepared for any mission.

Taking action to achieve readiness

Now is the time to embrace the Performance Management Framework and transform our fleet management practices. Implementing this framework requires commitment and a systematic approach, but the potential payoffs are significant.

As military program managers let’s come together to share insights and best practices on leveraging the consultative PMF process from Boeing. Through this collaboration and exchanging of ideas, we can revolutionize our approach to fleet management and ensure our forces are always ready to answer the call of duty.
