Such challenges have been no less acute for Defence and have necessitated a review of our supply-chain approach and the underpinning value proposition.  \nAccordingly\, Defence Support and Defence Commercial have worked together on the development of a Supply-Chain Strategy (SCS) that explores such themes and seeks to articulate how a ‘resilient by design’ Strategic Supply Chain needs to adapt to Global conditions. The Def SCS assumes such conditions will be enduring and proposes several conceptual head-marks to the way in which Defence approach Supply Chain outcomes and interactions with its commercial partners. \nThe Strategy will soon be made available on  GOV.UK \nThere will be an industry launch event on 17 November 2022\, the agenda is still being finalised but currently includes presentations from the Minister of Defence Procurement and Director Joint Support \nWhile physical attendance is by invitation only the presentations and Q&A will be live streamed. The teams link will be shared with all those who register. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/defence-supply-chain-strategy-industry-launch-event/ ORGANIZER;CN="Steve Green":MAILTO:steve.green@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20221116T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20221116T153000 DTSTAMP:20260407T205231 CREATED:20220920T103711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221110T201553Z UID:241596-1668594600-1668612600@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:MDI Town Hall Event DESCRIPTION:Registration for this Event has Closed \nYou are invited to join us for the MDI Town Hall Event\, which takes place on the 16th November 2022 at Airbus Space & Satellite Rooms 1-4 at Stevenage \nThis event will be supported by Guest Speakers\, to explore UK developments within the MDI Quest. \nPlease note that the teams dial in option will be from 10:30 -12:00 only. \nIndividuals will have to pay for their own lunch from the onsite canteen\, although coffee and water will be made available. \nThere will be an optional tour of the facility at the end of the day and we would request that once you have registered for the event\, that you go into your event portal and let us know whether you wish to attend the tour. \nParking is likely to be an issue and we would encourage train use where possible.

This will help inform prioritised investment and development of policy for digital engineering and inspection. \nTask Governance\nTask Sponsor: Phil Tullit \nMOD Lead: Anne Beven \nIndustry lead: Steve Evans \nAgenda\n\n\nIntroductions\nPresent strawman structure\nOutline task schedule\nRFI\nCall for volunteers to support collation and reporting\nIssue\n\nCurrent inspection regimes are time consuming\, often use the mark 1 eye ball\, are subjective\, dependent on individual experience\, not repeatable and do not create enduring digital records. Where safety critical and inspection fidelity is important then items are taken out of service\, retuned to base locations and are not available to operators for extended periods of time \nHypothesis\nThere are a range of digital inspection technologies that can be used to create digital master data\, conduct inspections (non-destructive testing) and condition a platform in a more accurate\, faster\, repeatable and efficient way.  This will reduce cost and increase availability of equipment. \nSituation\nThere are already some digital inspection use cases in EST however different frequencies provide different insights and there are limitations on speed and portability from hand-held to fixed infra full system scans. Interoperability and integration across the support enterprise will improve if common solution\, standards\, and data formats are adopted across the network.  As Industry are already employing mature solutions\, Defence can increase its understanding of the marketplace to inform the EST programme. \nNext Steps\nTask team start up meeting \n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/call-to-action-engineering-support-digital-inspection-rfi/ CATEGORIES:RTI-Public ORGANIZER;CN="Steve Green":MAILTO:steve.green@teamdefence.info END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220914T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220914T150000 DTSTAMP:20260407T205232 CREATED:20220427T150905Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220427T150908Z UID:240248-1663160400-1663167600@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:TD-Info Council Meeting DESCRIPTION:The Council reviews TD-Info’s performance against agreed strategic goals and helps define its future agenda.
