This presentation will explore the Forging Defense Manufacturing Consortium’s PRO-FORGE Process within Sikorsky Aircraft Company. PRO-FORGE is a Five-Step Process for effectively designing and acquiring forgings for either commercial or defense systems. Step 1 is to build a cross functional team chartered with responsibility of building new and innovative forging design and acquisition processes. Step 2 is to document the As-Is and Should-Be Design and Acquisition Processes. In parallel with Step 2, the team receives training to build its skills (Step 3). Step 4 is to Benchmark best practices to identify opportunities for substantive process improvement. Step 5 is the “on-the-fly” Deployment of the PRO-FORGE process to design and acquire forgings for the UH60M Program which couldn’t wait for serial approach. In addition to supporting the UH60M Program, PRO-FORGE also addresses design and acquisition issues related to procuring forgings for aging aircraft supported by the Defense Logistics Agency. The presentation will highlight the process, our results achieved to date at Sikorsky Aircraft Company, and the future plans for wide spread deployment of PRO-FORGE in other Original Equipment Manufacturers.
