Program Management, Journeyman

Torch Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a Program Manager, Journeyman located Kettering, OH (Dayton/WPAFB area) to support our EPASS GB contract. As part of the AFLCMC/GB Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate (BES), the Weapon System Management Information System (WSMIS) is a suite of standard automated AF Decision and Operational Support Tools used to assess the logistics health and capability of AF weapon systems (F-35, F22, F-15, F-16, A-10, C-130, C-17, C-5, etc.) to meet wartime tasking. WSMIS is comprised of five subsystems; Requirements/Execution Availability Logistics Module (REALM), Sustainability Assessment Module (SAM) Classified and Unclassified, Propulsion Requirements System (PRS) Classified, Execution & Prioritization of Repairs Support System (EXPRESS) Classified and Unclassified. REALM supports the annual review and computation of over $5B in spare parts to populate deployable Readiness Spares Packages (RSPs) in support of AF combat flying units in wartime. SAM assesses RSPs with planned wartime contingency flying rates (War Mobilization Plan) using current on-hand assets from the Standard Base Supply System to determine true combat capability against computed (authorized) asset levels. SAM provides the rates and factors necessary for EXPRESS to determine repair prioritization and distribution at the repair centers (ALCs) to ensure the right mix of spares are being repaired to support the warfighter. PRS supports the annual engine computation to determine the correct mix of whole engines to support AF weapon systems. Tracker provides supply, transportation, acquisition and maintenance data with the primary focus of pipeline performance analysis. Tracker allows individual requisitions/shipments to be tracked via the Web with emphasis on flight line, baselevel requirements. EXPRESS supports the Depot Repair Enhancement Program (DREP) and Agile Logistics efforts. EXPRESS provides a single, integrated, centralized priority list of all AF repair requirements at all ALCs, determines the ability of existing resources to support repair actions, and provides the data and mechanism to move items into repair.
