WEBVTT 00:03.289 --> 00:05.511 I'm South Sergeant Al mcdaniel . I'm an 00:05.511 --> 00:07.678 F-35 power line mechanic with the M FA 00:07.678 --> 00:07.670 T 501 . 00:11.729 --> 00:13.673 So the challenges we face with the 00:13.673 --> 00:15.785 solution sets was the marines will be 00:15.785 --> 00:18.007 out there doing maintenance on aircraft 00:18.007 --> 00:17.600 for multiple hours uh throughout the 00:17.610 --> 00:19.610 work day and then coming back in to 00:19.610 --> 00:21.721 document that maintenance , they were 00:21.721 --> 00:23.832 spending an additional uh unnecessary 00:23.832 --> 00:25.832 amount of hours doing documentation 00:25.832 --> 00:25.209 just due to the slowness of the 00:25.219 --> 00:27.441 solution set and no one could help them 00:27.441 --> 00:29.663 out because once you have more than one 00:29.663 --> 00:29.120 person in that work order , it would 00:29.129 --> 00:30.907 slow down so much that it would 00:30.907 --> 00:33.129 actually crash the system . So us being 00:33.129 --> 00:35.129 able to separate that between three 00:35.129 --> 00:34.619 different work orders and three 00:34.630 --> 00:36.630 different solutions allows multiple 00:36.630 --> 00:38.574 marines to go in there and work on 00:38.574 --> 00:40.797 those solutions and help each other out 00:40.797 --> 00:40.349 document which in return helps us get 00:40.360 --> 00:41.916 that aircraft boat faster . 00:47.220 --> 00:49.331 These changes being done at the joint 00:49.331 --> 00:51.331 program office level would help not 00:51.331 --> 00:53.498 only the Marine Corps but the Navy and 00:53.498 --> 00:55.720 Air Force as well to include uh partner 00:55.720 --> 00:57.887 countries that operate the F-35 across 00:57.887 --> 00:57.319 the board . It'd be easier for us to 00:57.330 --> 00:59.608 document this larger maintenance house , 00:59.608 --> 01:01.774 this process will help us get aircraft 01:01.774 --> 01:03.941 back to a full mission capability in a 01:03.941 --> 01:03.020 faster time . 01:08.949 --> 01:10.782 My name is uh Lieutenant Colonel 01:10.782 --> 01:12.949 Zachary Basra . A call sign scan . I'm 01:12.949 --> 01:15.227 the commanding officer of the MFET 501 , 01:15.227 --> 01:17.449 the warlords . So I think like anything 01:17.449 --> 01:19.505 else as marines , uh we are , we are 01:19.505 --> 01:21.671 bound to lead by example . Uh So it is 01:21.671 --> 01:23.671 not just in this specific action uh 01:23.671 --> 01:25.870 that we do , but ultimately , it is , 01:25.879 --> 01:28.360 it is in the example of how we have now 01:28.370 --> 01:30.703 improved a process within the bounds of , 01:30.703 --> 01:32.759 of some black and white publications 01:32.759 --> 01:34.481 that we have . But now through 01:34.481 --> 01:36.537 experience and through opportunities 01:36.537 --> 01:38.648 like this , we improve that process , 01:38.648 --> 01:40.703 ultimately that we can get ourselves 01:40.703 --> 01:40.639 better in other ways . Now , this gives 01:40.650 --> 01:42.372 marines the opportunity to get 01:42.372 --> 01:44.529 themselves better in what they do and 01:44.540 --> 01:46.707 to perfect their craft and perfect the 01:46.707 --> 01:48.818 processes that they see when they are 01:48.818 --> 01:50.929 the ones that are ultimately hands on 01:50.929 --> 01:49.970 on a lot of these processes 01:56.639 --> 01:58.639 going through the Marine Corps as I 01:58.639 --> 02:00.861 have for the past nine years leading me 02:00.861 --> 02:02.695 up to now just going through and 02:02.695 --> 02:04.750 understanding how processes work and 02:04.750 --> 02:06.861 how things can change . It was pretty 02:06.861 --> 02:08.806 important to see what was going on 02:08.806 --> 02:11.028 around me and understand that something 02:11.028 --> 02:13.083 needed to change . My fellow marines 02:13.083 --> 02:15.306 influenced me in revamping this process 02:15.306 --> 02:17.417 altogether . Um was entirely based on 02:17.417 --> 02:19.583 just working beside them . We were all 02:19.583 --> 02:21.806 spending a collectively large amount of 02:21.806 --> 02:23.972 time trying to do something that could 02:23.972 --> 02:25.972 have been done in a much faster and 02:25.972 --> 02:25.759 more efficient way .
