Abstract:

The main findings of the report are 1 The system set up to handle Government Industry Data Exchange Program GIDEP ALERTs within the Air Force is not followed in a consistent fashion. 2 All participants in the GIDEP program are required to report the total yearly savings as part of GIDEP ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT. The majority cost avoidance are not being reported due to lack of data, lack of personnel or lack of a method to accurately determine savings. 3 the GIDEP participants are relatively slow to issue ALERTs. 4 There is no formally documented system for determining that the Air Forces warranty rights are being enforced on items reported under the GIDEP ALERT system. 5 Contractor participation in the GIDEP program is basically voluntary. As a result of analysis of the GIDEP ALERT system, the following changes to ALERT processing procedures were recommended The Engineering and Reliability branch of material management function at each organization impacted by the ALERT should identify the Part Family Code and complete a Cost Avoidance Estimating Sheet to develop a data base and provide summary cost avoidance statistics by part family to HQ AFLC.
