1325 – 1425: Theater – Panel Session – Influence of TOC in Future DoD Budgeting and Planning

The fundamental reason for the major effort to reduce the cost of owning and operating systems is to fund modernization and other critical requirements.  Declining procurement funds are resulting in a rapidly aging (and potentially inefficient and unsupportable) inventory. Rising O&S costs can consume higher portions of the defense budget and leave even less available for modernization.

Speakers:

Mr. Jim Beebe (Executive Director, Commander, Naval Air Forces)

Mr. Dave Weddel (Lockheed Martin)

The costs to own a capability, not necessarily just what it costs to buy a system need to be understood to best apply Total Ownership Costs reduction methods. The realities of today’s budgets force a necessity to take steps now to control ownership costs so that funds will be available to meet requirements in the future.
