MISSION NEED STATEMENT FOR (Establishing Auxiliary Power Unit Overhaul) 1. Defense Planning Guidance Element. This Mission Need Statement outlines the need for the establishment of an overhaul facility at Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) for the T-62T-2B Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The overwhelming requirement for the T2B APU requires an additional source for mai ntenance be established to support that need. 2. Mission and Threat Analyses. a. Mission. This overhaul capability will provide an Army capable source to implement Best Business Practices resulting in reduced APU and component repair turn around time, smaller required inventory levels because of streamlined material integration pro cesses, improved readiness, increased depot capacity and reduced total ownership cost through a streamlined logistics infrastructure. b. Threat. This requirement will affect Army missions worldwide. However, the scope of work requires the entire workload for this requirement to be conducted at the establishing facility in Corpus Christi, TX. 3. Non-materiel Alternatives. Non-material alternatives for this requirement would be inadequate. In order to provide a serviceable and workable product, a material integration strategy would have to be a part of the requirement. 4. Potential Materiel Alternatives. The Army currently has a Depot Maintenance Interservice Agreement (DMISA) being utilized to overhaul this APU at Cherry Point Naval Air Station. Cherry Point is not able to support the Armys need to better control configuration management on this item. In an effort to improve configuration management, the need to establish overhaul capabilities at an Army facility has become a necessary. Inter-service cooperation will continue. 5. Constraints. a. Manpower and Personnel. Estimated manpower requirements include 2 Man Years for engineering support and 1 Man Year of Program Management support. There is an additional requirement of 1 Man year for a parts warehouse manager to handle supply chain and parts kitting operations. b. Training. N/A c.
