4) If not acquired, the FRCSE engines facility will continue to have issues with lack of efficient storage. Production space will also continue to be an issue asprograms expand with workload demands in the future.5) Not Applicable.REPLACE GAP GRINDER FRCSW - NORTH ISLAND1) This project is to replace one of our existing gap grinders. The one to be replaced is over is 30 years old. The replacement assets will provide the innovativegrinders with a new geometry to produce a quality and timely part. The old equipment has lost geometric and alignment specsifications. Producing a qualitypart on the existing grinders requires additional care, time and procedures because of extensive wear.2) The current deficiency is that these assets have lost all of it's geometry functions. The gap Grinder consisted of two machine functions, traverse and plungegrinding, one operation was eliminated due to erosion of the machine ways. The new Gap Grinder will insure and maintain the expected componentstolerances of the prospected repair packages. An advance and innovative machine will improve turn-around time (TAT) of the product and reduce waste.With the replacement of this asset, we will regain full use of the grinder as it was intended.3) a. Contracting or Outsourcing to Private Industry: Contracting out is not desirable because of the work flow of landing gear produced on this grinder. b.Moving workload to another machine: Moving the workload to a different asset is also not desirable because of existing workload already assigned.4)If these assets are not acquired, landing gear workload requirements will be pushed back and aircraft commitments will be delayed to Navy fleet.5)Not applicable.REPLACE SPRINGFIELD VERTICAL GRINDER FRCE - CHERRY POINT1.) This machine was built in December, 1990. Parts are removed from an old Springfield Grinder that is not repairable nor operational to keep the functionalgrinder operational. The manufacturer no longer supports this machine. Also, a crane system will be required to lift parts, fixture and machine components.2.) The spare electronic or control parts that are for the old Springfield Grinder will last approximately one year. When these parts are gone, Shop 93201 willhave to obtain these parts from a third party. However, it will be very expensive. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) does not support the controlsystem and software.It is difficult to obtain mechanical parts to repair machine when it fails.3) Replace - There will be increased production and reduction in overtime.4) There would be a risk for potential workload backup; subsequently, the shop would not meet the production schedules for engine and component support.Additionally, FRCE could not support the T64 engine parts nor support the repair parts that are under the Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract betweenthe FRCE and General Electric. Additional resources and overtime will be required to meet engine program schedule, if it would be possible at all.5) Not Applicable.Exhibit Fund-9BCapital Purchase Justification
