Fuels Service Delivery (FSD) Industry Briefing Event
2022-10-18 09:30 - 11:30
The Fuels Transformation Programme (FTP) achieved Outline Business Case (OBC) approval in Mar-2022. Based on the concepts of capability management and driven by data, FTP will take full advantage of innovation to improve the agility and responsiveness of the Defence Fuel Enterprise (DFE).
FTP is tasked to:

Develop the high-level concept to transform the DFE to deliver an optimized:

defence fuels estate,
supply chain (both on-base and off-base),
management organisation,

with:

identified accountabilities,
improved information management and financial controls,

and:

lower cost of acquisition, storage, distribution, and management,

while:

investigating ways of increasing and developing sustainability in furtherance of NZ50 objectives.

Fuels Service Delivery (FSD) is a workstream within FTP, with the aim to shortlist options for transforming E2E fuels service delivery operations and accelerate understanding of net benefit profiles, non-financial benefits, and de-risk future implementation projects for an FBC submission in FY 24/25. Several deep dives were conducted and FSD are currently accountable to deliver 21 Case Studies and 6 Pilots, that deliver Change Initiatives (CIs)
Following OBC Approval, FSD Team is progressing through the next phase of implementing the CIs and developing the pilots and case studies.
Through this Industry Briefing Event (IBE), the FSD Team on behalf of the Authority is looking to provide industry with an update on progress and the support it requires to deliver the pilots & case studies.
To this end, an Industry Briefing Event will be held on 18th October 2022, from 9:30 – 11:30, open to both members and non-members.
The IBE will be held virtually on MS Teams, and the outline agenda (subject to change) is:

Headline address by FTP Team Lead,
Programme update
Change Initiatives (CIs) – Case Studies & Pilots

In March 2021, the government published its Defence & Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS), which aims to develop a new relationship industry. The DSIS describes nineteen segments and made a commitment to developing individual responses to these segment areas where it was meaningful to do so. The ‘Digital Backbone’ segment is one of those segments and Defence Digital has been preparing a response document, which will soon be at its second draft.
This is an opportunity for members of Team Defence Information to have early sight of the draft and submit comments if they wish. Comments can either be in writing to Philippa Arter or at a hybrid event hosted at the Team Defence Information offices in the Briarlands Office Park on 5 January 2023, with a Teams option for those unable to travel.

Defence Supply Chain Strategy Industry Launch Event
2022-11-17 10:00 - 12:00
National Supply Chains have seen significant disruption due to both the Covid-19 pandemic and recent events in Ukraine. Such challenges have been no less acute for Defence and have necessitated a review of our supply-chain approach and the underpinning value proposition.
Accordingly, 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.
The Strategy will soon be made available on GOV.UK
There 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
While 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.

Additive Hack Launch & Networking Event
2023-02-09 10:00 - 13:00 | Babcock Technology Centre, Bristol Business Park, Stoke Gifford, Bristol, BS16 1EJ
Aim. Ahead of registration for the main FCG OIL AdM Hack this launch and networking event will provide an overview of the hack that will take place on the 3 & 4 April 23 and networking to allow for collaborative teams to form.
Format. Following a presentation outlining the approach a speed dating format will be used so that all attendees can pitch to each other about their capabilities and exchange contact details. After the event teams will be invited to register to take part in the Additive hack on 3 & 4 Feb 2023
Context. Recent operations in Ukraine have identified that the industrial manufacturing base of a nation is critical to success of future operations. DE&S’ focus is moving away from large procurements to operations and is dependent on putting UK PLC on a campaign footing while the Defence Supply Chain Strategy is looking to create resilience through multiple points of near shore suppliers. The concept of global logistic hubs provides the opportunity for production closer to point of consumption reducing the carbon footprint of distribution while inter regional supply in a star network configuration increase resilience.
Intent. Exploit and demonstrate mature Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) High Value Manufacturing, Digital Engineering, and Additive Manufacturing Capabilities and how they can contribute to the realisation of Support Advantage.
Objectives. Using a diverse and dispersed team reverse engineer a part so that it has the same fit but has reduced weight and or part count. Demonstrate:

Image capture
File transfer
Collaborative design
File conversion CAD to SWL
Additive production
Part reduction and or light weighting of an item

Note: the part will not be assessed functional or from a safety certification and is ther fore only a protype not for use.
Who Should Attend.

Industry Attendees. The hack event will be limited to ten teams. Only a limited number from each team will be in teh i-bridge. Others will operate at reach
MOD Attendees. A member of each organisation involved in the development of Additive will be invited ot join each indsutry team. Other members of MOD will be invite to vitas the I-bridge to renege with teh teams and see additive and digital engineering technologies in action.
