MWSS provides supply chain management activities for the B-2 Bomber performance-based logistics contract. This effort includes the management of two line-replaceable unit repair programs (interim contract support and contract depot maintenance), as well as the procurement, stock store and issue activities for B-2 unique consumables. The program also supports procurement and kitting efforts for the FA-18, Advanced Technology Development Center and F5/T-38 programs. Francisco Ramirez, MWSS quality assurance engineer, summed up the accomplishment for his teammates: “Achieving the certification was not a goal in and of itself, but now that we have it, our mission is to use it as a management tool to help us improve customer satisfaction, processes and staff development within our program.” TS ISO certification process team members.
