Integrated Master Scheduler

Credence has an immediate opening for an experienced Integrated Master Scheduler who will be primarily responsible for supporting Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Rapid Sustainment Office Wright- Patterson AFB, OH. 

RSO’s mission is to advance the SECAF’s direction and “…leverage mature, new, and emerging technology to reduce sustainment costs and improve readiness…” The RSO will play a role in sustainment analogous to a research laboratory in development. Its customer base—the logistics and sustainment enterprise—should come to view RSO as their center of excellence for identifying, maturing, and trans

• Provide support for strategic scheduling and planning documentation such as the Integrated Master Plan (IMP) and the IMS.
• Develop and coordinate a reporting framework for event-based activities during the work efforts to support the Attack Systems Division (ASD) Program Office (AFLCMC/WWB). This level of effort requires periodic program, scheduling analysis, and targeted schedule studies to identify and assess practices and trends detrimental to FMS program success.
• Provide ASD FMS Branch support to assess and analyze schedules and reports produced by OEM and the program office IAW with the industry best practices identified in the NDIA Planning & Scheduling Excellence Guide and the Government Accountability Office Schedule Assessment Guide. The Contractor OEM and Government schedule data shall be available in MS Project and other appropriate tools. Reports shall be available in common formats (e.g., Microsoft Word or Adobe Portable Document Format).
• Develop and manage the E-IMS and assist program IPTs in developing and updating their specific IMS.
• Work with the program IPTs to identify schedule and resource risks and issues across the program/enterprise, perform “What-If” analyses, reflow schedules, and conduct monthly meetings with prime contractors to verify schedules and keep schedules in alignment with the E-IMS.
• Create a schedule of Government activities accomplished by Government stakeholders and organize them using schedule software that creates a linked network and can be integrated with the Contractor’s schedule, such as Microsoft Project. Maintain a baselined schedule of Government activities and provide periodic schedule status to meet program needs. Perform health and risk assessments on the Government schedule as needed. Report status and assessments as required to inform program office decisions. Prepare the schedule of Government activities to integrate Contractor activities, and integrate Government and Contractor activities to assess and analyze the combined program schedule.
• Perform schedule analyses on OEM and Government schedules to include horizontal and vertical traces and status reporting analysis to identify critical and driving paths, missing content, out of sequence activities, proper status reporting, and schedule executability. Analyze critical and driving paths as well as near critical and driving paths for integrity, execution status, and to identify program risks. Assess compliance with the program baseline change management and rolling wave planning processes. Contractor analysis shall include recommendations for program performance improvements where applicable.
• Engage program office POCs to identify dependencies between the OEM and Government schedule integration and establish the appropriate relationships in a Microsoft Project file. Perform a Scheduled Health Assessment on the integrated program schedule.
• Periodically perform an integrated Schedule Risk Assessment on OEM and integrated program schedules. The SRA shall account for unknown risk through the application of techniques such as global work package duration banding.
• Engage program office POCs for information required to model known high and medium risks identified in the program’s risk assessment through specific 3-point duration estimates on work packages associated with the risk event and account for risks associated with individual work packages on the critical path, near critical paths, driving paths, and near driving paths.
• Perform schedule sensitivity analysis on OEM and integrated program schedules to assess the impact of various schedule inputs on intermediate milestone or program outcomes as required.
• Explore excursions (deviations from the program path) to assess potential outcomes based on alternative decisions and support decision points as required.
• Apply program knowledge to develop and coordinate responses to taskers generated from internal and external program inquiries.
• Assist in the collection of programmatic inputs from weapons systems program offices for defining, developing, and managing the acquisition and development/upgrades to the various Fighter/Bomber Division aircraft configurations.
