• Create intuitive visual forecasts that illustrate lifecycle risks for subsystems and components.
• Partner with engineering, supply chain, and program teams to devise End of Life (EOL) solutions that minimize production and sustainment disruption.
• Analyze “life of need” data—failure rates, performance periods, subsystem longevity—to support production and sustainment stakeholders.
• Communicate case status, issues, and recommendations to management and customers via detailed reports, engineering change requests, and presentations.
