Throughout my Career I have always prided myself on having a positive attitude
and having a unique capability to get the most out of folks that worked with me
and for me as well as keeping our customers happy.
Specific AIM Experience and Responsibilities
As the Project Engineering Planning Manager (PEPM) while assigned to the USS EMERY LANCE (AS-
39) 2008/2009 it was my responsibility in the planning phase to coordinate and accomplish all planning
requirements to support the 08/09 - DPMA and ensure all technical requirements were met. I was the
PEPM from May 2008 until December 2009. This project was supported with The Advanced Industrial
Management System (AIM) that was the technical data base we used to provide technical work documents
(TWD’s)to all production shops and codes to accomplish all assigned work and support services.I worked
closely with my assigned businessagents (Funds Administrators)[C/1200/N) that were our Shipyards
mouth piece to the customer (Ship/TYCOM) to prioritize assigned work based on availability funding and
ship conditions.I worked closely with the Project Superintendent,Business Agent and Ship to
ensure/negotiate the priority work when budget/schedule concerns arised.I worked closely with
BSPO/TYCOM to ensure we juggled the right work to keep the ship at its most ready state with-in budget
constraints. By doing this I worked closely with assigned shipyard business agent s to ensure the AIM Data
Base was up to date and as accurate we possible.It was of upmost importance that we worked with the
Customer, BSPO, Ship, C/400 & TYCOM to have a meaningful work definition conference (WDC) which
was used to finalize the AWP. It was my responsibility to ensure the AWP was as accurate as possible
prior to start of Start Availability Event (SA00) to identify and ensure all materials and resources were
available to accomplish assigned tasking. All work was included into our up to date authorized work
package (AWP) prior to our resource loaded schedule being issued. It was my responsibility to review all
job summaries & task group instructions (TGI’s) to ensure they complied with all technical requirements
(which included manuals, instructions & other pertinent data and guidance). I assigned my Project
Engineers (Nuc/Non-Nuc)as one of their duties to review TGI’s/Summaries and ensured they were
approved in time to support production of work and advertized work schedules . On occasion I would have
to get involved to review and approve TGI’s that were critical in getting approved to support the critical
path/chain.I was also responsible for overseeing planning support being accomplished by Ship’s Force
(S/F), Contractors and AIT’s and ensuring their work was put into the AIM Data Base as Other
Maintenance Activities (OM) and worked closely with the Work Integration Manager and Lead Scheduler
to keep my thumb on the pulse of their ability to support Project Schedules and Key Events and ensure we
did what it took to meet our drop dead dates..
I worked closely with my assigned Projected Superintendent/s,Business Office Representatives,
Nuclear/Non-Nuclear Project Engineers, Ship Representative/s,and C/400 Representative to ensure all
authorized summaries were accurate and executable. I was responsible for monitoring schedule (and cost)

6. Page 6 of 7
to ensure Planning Key Events were met with-in established budgets to support.I held weekly meetings
with C/400 and monitored the 4E Spec Development to support ourproject’s schedule that was dependent
on contractorassigned work.
During summary reviews I would facilitate these meetings with a questionable attitude to ensure we were
applying operational risk management to each summary review to assure we developed a realistic schedule.
This review consisted ofsetting up review meetings with appropriate managers & other maintenance
activities in a timely manner to ensure they were accurate, executable and completed as quickly as possible
to support ourmission. It was my responsibility to ensure all work passed to C/400 to contract out was
monitored closely and to ensure technical guidance/clarification was provided to contractors bidding on our
work had more in depth questions to clarify the boundaries of the work scope.This was a challenging task
for my planning staff as well as my Work Integration Manager (WIM) and Job Planning Leader (JPL)
supporting all work not being accomplished by the Shipyard. Several months prior to the availability for the
AS-39 the shipyard determined they did not have enough resources to accomplish our assigned work. I held
numerous meetings with C/400, Military Sealift Command, Project Manager and our WIM to give them
adequate time to put 4E-Specs togetherbased on the statements of work (SOW) that were put out for
solicitation. I ensured that any clarifications in questions from the contractors were accomplished in a
timely manner to support project schedules.This also included reviewing long lead material that had been
ordered by the shipyard and had to be transferred to contractors (as they did not have enough time to obtain
some of the required materials). This included communicating with all levels of management and monthly
planning project reviews with Shop Superintendents,C/300 Operations Officer, C/100 Shipyard
Commander, C/400 Contracting Office, C/1200 Business Office and all Senior Managers of the shipyard.
During the planning phase we worked closely with Code 246 & C/2301 to ensure all assigned work was
processed in a timely manner working closely with the ship to keep prioritized work addressed until
pertinent systems were taken down to support schedule and yet not to jeopardize other work that may be
affected in any certain area.
I represented the information at the monthly planning for our project (AS-39). It gave senior managers a
snap shot of where we were as a project in the planning process to support our start availability dates. If we
had problems with meeting our projected schedules I would discuss with the Project Superintendent if
delays were required that was outside of our sphere of influence.
I have worked closely with SSMO, Business Office and Engineers to ensure all Scheduled SHIPALT’s
were included in the work package/s (Authorized Work Package ~ AWP) through Type Commander to
ensure the Ship was able to get any and all proposed SHIPALTS installed to take advantage of the
Maintenance Availability/PIA . One of the more challenging jobs we had on the AS-39 was installing a
new upgraded phone systemthroughout the Ship that involved a lot of coordination with the Ship and
responsible SPAWAR Representatives.In the end we were successfulwith meeting that task. I also worked
closely with the Ship’s 3M Maintenance Coordinator to ensure all ship change documents were included in
the AMIS Data base and were included in the work package if authorized by TYCOM.
Most recently I was able to get involved with the Product Line development at its conception at PSNS/IMF.
I was able to oversee the implementation on the last availability for the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON
(CVN-73) in Japan. This included coordinating Production Technical Requirements (PTR) with Key Shop
Supervisors to assure all material and technical guidance was covered so production work would not be
impacted. When working to the recent update of AIM Chapter 6A we would review execution priorities
(Red, Yellow & Green) and ensure whatever the work stoppage was we would aggressively support (as
needed) and take action to resolve to keep minimal impacts to ships schedule.
I have a well rounded background in many diverse areas of ship availability planning. This was critical to
ensure we had successfulavailabilities. I always had a key eye on Cost, Schedule, Safety and Quality. I
sincerely believe to have a successfulproject you need to create a support staff that understands and have
the drive to support the Project/Team Goals.
