SUMMARY:Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS) Virtual Industry Day
DESCRIPTION:The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center’s (AFLCMC) Command and Control Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) Directorate\, AF DCGS Program Office is hosting a virtual Industry Day on 29 August 2023. The purpose of this industry day is to increase industry awareness of future requirements in support of the AF DCGS weapon system\, acquire market research for multiple AF DCGS project teams\, and solicit feedback from industry representatives to increase competition opportunities for future initiatives\, develop acquisitions strategies\, and understand risks.\nThe AF DCGS Program Office is attempting to expand its business base and maximize competition on future requirements through FY29 comprising approximately 34 projected contracts slated for competitive or sole-source award. AF DCGS has identified requirements within historically sole source contracts and requests Industry engagement on these specific requirements to ensure the Government continues to meet its requirement of full and open competition and to maximize the Industrial competitive space for AF DCGS technology solutions.\nWe welcome collaboration with industry to critically review our requirements and discuss mutual issues and concerns relative to our requirements. This virtual industry day will feature an open briefing on each of the upcoming DCGS projects to include their general requirements\, competition factors\, and anticipated timelines.\n\nAfter each project is briefed\, we will open the floor for a brief discussion on each acquisition and its specific requirements. We will also accept questions in writing\, to be answered following the conclusion of the Industry Day and posted on SAM.gov for Industry to access. Future industry days will be more focused and individualized to cover the specific details of upcoming acquisitions. \n\nThe Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the information received at this event. This Industry Day is for informational purposes only. The contents of any future RFPs take precedence over anything provided during this briefing. Questions and answers will be posted to SAM.gov and are considered public record. Any costs incurred as a result of this meeting are considered bid and proposal costs and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Each of the projected requirements discussed will be further refined in the future and advertised on SAM.gov as required when applicable. The market research conducted for each requirement will dictate the type of contract used\, but we foresee use of fixed price to cost-type contracts.\nIf your company is interested in participating in this Virtual Industry Day\, please REGISTER at https://forms.gle/vmhyT2xnxwgCBCVf6 by 14 August 2023. Contact Capt Jessica Graham(Program Manager)\, jessica.graham.4@us.af.mil\, and copy Mr. Barry Frank (Contracting Officer)\, Barry.Frank@us.af.mil\, if you have any further questions.

SUMMARY:Lean 200: Applying the Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Course Details:\n2 days\, 14 instructional hours\nNo prior lean training or experience is required. \nFor location details and single session availability:\nREGISTER ONLINE \nAbout This Event:\nLean 200 encompasses two full days of hands on learning\, and equips participants with practical tools and strategies to make significant and sustainable changes within their organizations. This is a 2-day\, introductory course focused on the fundamental principles of Lean as well as the basic tools most organizations use to start their Lean journey. Participants will be led through an interactive simulation of an industry process to allow hands-on application and practice of the Lean tools and methodology. \nValue Stream Mapping is a tool used to create a material and information flow map of a product or process. This powerful tool allows organizations to map their procedures\, supplies or information from the beginning of the process through all process steps\, until the process is complete. These steps make up the value stream. You begin the journey with the current state map; it shows you where you are. Then\, you plan your lean journey with a future state map; it shows you where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. Based on your value stream map\, you can identify and prioritize what improvements to work on first\, so your process becomes streamline and efficient.  There is a case study during the class to help demonstrate a Value Stream Map \nDuring this course\, we will talk about 5S: Sorting\, Set-in order\, Shine\, Standardized\, and Sustain. 5S is a tool designed to improve workplace efficiencies by reducing waste associated with poor communication due to lack of visual controls and searching for items that are necessary to perform job tasks. There is also a hands-on simulation to demonstrate the application of 5S. 5S is a very quick and easy tool to implement within any workplace. \nStandardized work is necessary for any sort of improvement to begin. Have you ever noticed that everyone does things her/his own way? This practice can create issues concerning quality\, safety\, training of staff\, and more. Before a process can be improved\, it must be standard for everyone. During this course we will discuss the importance\, benefits and examples of standardized work. \nA3 for problem solving is a tool that Toyota is using to relentlessly improve operational performance. Central to this ability is the training of supervisors and managers in a structured problem-solving approach that uses a tool called the A3 problem-solving report. We will discuss the use of an A3 problem solving tool including when it is used\, how it is used and will include hands on practice for A3 creation. \nKaizen is our most popular tool!  Many organizations love the rapid and systematic way of looking at a process and\, with a team of co-workers\, determine how to improve the process and implement those changes in a quick and sustainable way.  Kaizen is a systematic methodology to run continuous improvement projects. The methodology for running an effective kaizen will be covered during this course. Also\, helpful hints from the front lines will be covered\, such as team selection\, pre-work\, and post-work. \nRecommended For:\nAny professional interested in learning more about lean applications. \nYou Will: \n\nIdentify and apply the basic lean tools\nRecognize improvements within their work areas through communication improvements\, morale improvements\, and quality improvements\nBenchmark other organizations throughout North Carolina starting the lean implementation\n\nTopics Covered Include:\n\nValue Stream Mapping\n5S\nStandard Work\nA3 for problem solving\nKaizen\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Policies\n\n\nPayment Info\nCourse & Cancellation Policies\n\n\n\n\nLodging Info\nIES Preferred Hotels

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Drones in Construction: More Than Just a Pretty Picture
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Joseph M. Burgett aka “Dr. Drone” \nEvent Details:\nOver the past few years\, the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems\, commonly referred to as “drones\,” has significantly increased in the construction industry. What started as a novelty toy to capture marketing images has become an invaluable tool for improving logistics\, reducing costs\, and supporting quality control. Drone-captured 2D images are now commonly used to create 3D models to document as-built conditions\, monitor progress\, and calculate material quantities. Incorporating aerial infrared thermography gives innovative contractors new insights into as-built conditions\, envelope integrity\, quality control\, and building energy performance. In this presentation\, Dr. Joe Burgett will discuss the opportunities\, challenges\, and barriers to leveraging drones in construction. He will also talk about the cost of starting a program\, and the steps contractors should follow to operate in the national airspace. \nEvent Contact: Caroline Brigmon\, Education Training & Workforce Development Director \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Toyota Kata & PIT: Serious Fun!
DESCRIPTION:Just like a race car heading into the pit stall\, change arrives fast these days. Competitors emerge overnight\, new technologies alter the business and labor market conditions are uncertain. How do you ensure continued success in such complex\, dynamic and unpredictable conditions?\nThe default way people think about problems often involves jumping to conclusions and immediately seeking to solve problems\, because the brain does not like uncertainty. The unconscious part of our brain takes bits of surface information\, quickly extrapolates to fill in blanks and gives us a false sense of confidence in our conclusion. And then we start making costly mistakes. \nImagine how efficient your business would be if it operated like a motorsports pit crew? What if you could learn concepts to improve problem solving through experimental cycles and by making such problem solving techniques a regular habit? What if you found a program that could teach you how to relate the concepts of the pit stop back to your business? \nLook at Experimental Problem Solving in a Novel Way \nToyota Kata Overview\, taught at the Performance Instruction & Training (PIT) facility deep in NASCAR country\, does just that. The program challenges participants to look at problem solving in a way that is entertaining and easy to understand. This is provided through the pit stop experience\, a team-based event that is analyzed to evaluate performance\, identify learnings and make modifications for continuous improvement. \nPit Crew activities to Drive Home Concepts of Continuous Improvement \nLean + Kata leverages a combination of classroom presentation\, discussion and actual pit crew activities to drive home the concepts of continuous improvement\, problem solving\, efficiency\, preparation and teambuilding\, while addressing such topics as communication\, coaching and feedback\, role responsibility and work performance. \nWhat to Expect \nYou’ll start your day with an orientation to high performance motorsports\, followed by an activity where you become a pit crew member. This is followed by the class segment\, where we learn that kata is: \n\nDeveloping new habits and allowing people to think differently about problems and goals\nA way of working\, and of working together\nUsing scientific thinking as an ingredient to make teams and organizations more effective and successful\nDeveloping a culture of continuous learning and improvement at all levels through deliberate practice\n\nThe Improvement Kata helps develop fundamental skills of working like a scientist. The learner iterates or experiments his or her way toward a desired goal instead of deciding the way forward. This way of thinking and working helps people successfully deal with uncertainty and challenges. \nThe Coaching Kata is a repeating routine by which the teacher or coach gives the learner procedural guidance\, not solutions\, helping the learner successfully overcome obstacles and develop confidence. With Toyota Kata\, managers can develop their own coaching skills and their team members’ problem-solving skills simultaneously. \nInstructors \nThe lean team from NC State Industry Expansion Solutions facilitates the lean presentations and discussions. Senior level staff of PIT Instruction and Training facilitates the motorsports presentation and activity while professional pit crew members coach the teams. \nBenefits of Participating \n\nLearn and understand the concept of improvement kata and coaching kata to improve your business.\nBehave like a pit crew under pressure\, apply lean principles and observe your impact on performance.\nDiscover the importance of developing a culture of continuous process improvement in your organization.\n\nCost \n$1\,195 for the session and volume discounts are available for 2 or 3+ participants from the same company. \n  \n\n\nWho Should Participate \nWhether you are in a leadership position (manager\, supervisor\, front-line team leader) or a key technical resource (engineer\, technician)\, you are a great fit for kata training. Individuals who seek a unique perspective on problem solving and people involvement are encouraged to register. \nUpcoming Session \nMonday\, October 2\, 2023 \n\n8 a.m. – Greeting and Orientation\n8:30 a.m. – Lean Performance U. Presentation (breakfast provided)\n8:50 a.m. – Introduction to Kata\n9:15 a.m. – Baseline PIT Stop\n9:30 a.m. – Training Session: Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata\n12:15 p.m. – Lunch (provided)\n1 p.m. – Three PDCA Improvement/Experiment Cycles utilizing the PIT Stop Experience\n4 p.m. Debrief training and next steps\n4:30 p.m. – Depart PIT\n\nTraining Location \nPerformance Instruction & Training (PIT)\n156 Byers Creek Road\nMooresville\, NC 28117 \nRegister \nContact Your Regional Manager:\nncstateies.com/RM \nQuestions? \nCall Allison Godwin at 252.883.1729
