Systecon North America has helped the F-35 Joint Program Office transition supply chain analytics, simulation and performance modeling responsibilities to a fully organic, government-run team.
The company said in a press release Executive Mosaic received that the transition reflects the F-35 JPO’s readiness to take full ownership of readiness modeling, lifecycle cost and availability.
“We’re proud to have played a role in helping the F-35 team get to this point, where they can manage and optimize their modeling operations independently,” said James Woodard, chief operating officer at Systecon North America.
Under the partnership, Systecon North America helped JPO operationalize predictive analytics in alignment with the Department of Defense’s readiness and affordability goals.
In addition to training programs, Systecon’s Opus Suite has played a key role in supporting the F-35 program’s readiness planning and sustainment operations.
“We’re grateful for the modeling expertise and support Systecon has provided over the years…transitioning to organic modeling support is key to where we need to go,” said Amanda Pilkerton, product support manager at the F-35 JPO.
