STANDARDIZATION STRATEGY: per the department of the air force instruction (DAFI) 63-140 and air force materiel command (AFMC) SUPPLEMENT (DAFI63-140_AFMCSUP), The air force metal fabrication and technologies office (MFTO) serves as the operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness (OSS&E) equipment authority for the AMT and ASM career fields. Standardization supports the air force mission by promoting proficiency, qualification, and continued readiness across installations upon deployment or permanent change of station (PCS). The MFTO has written and published multiple commercial item descriptions (CIDS) that dictate the minimum performance requirements of various equipment, such as computer numerical control (CNC) mills and lathes, water jets, and other industrial plant equipment (IPE) items. The MFTO is also working to standardize computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) software. standardization of this equipment and software ensures continued familiarization with the human machine interface (HMI) of equipment and software, and therefore, learning new systems and programs is not required. Current (Altus AFB) operators are formally trained in Haas processes/programming and software language, changing to a different manufacturer or software language would allow for aircraft part manufacture delays and possible machine damage. Cost of retraining operators is another factor to consider.
