Pacific Northwest To Host

ASNE Symposium,

March 16-19 "Logistical Technologies for the 21st Century" is the theme of the 1993 Annual Navy Logistics

Symposium, an event coordinated by the Ameri- can Society of Naval Engineers' (ASNE) Puget

Sound Section, and scheduled for March 16-19 at the Red Lion Hotel in Seattle, Wa.

Viewing technology as the springboard for future systems, the work in the Integrated Logis- tics Support community is paving the way to greater use of automated tools, higher opera- tional availability and reliability, and an in- creased emphasis on diagnostics.

The event marks the first time in many years that ASNE has held an event in the Pacific

Northwest, and this symposium will combine the presentation of several papers on timely topics, with opportunities for open discussion to foster idea exchange.

The symposium gets into full swing on Wednes- day, March 17, with the 8:15 a.m. Keynote Ad- dress by C. Geiger, deputy commander fleet logistics support, Naval Sea Systems Command.

Session One, which is entitled "Future Logis- tics Issues," starts at 8:45 a.m., and includes papers on Global Environmental Compliance,

Enabling Approaches of FCIM and RAMP, Logis- tic Challenges of NDI/COTS, and Spring for Suc- cessful Offshore Mission.

The luncheon speaker on day one is F. Goodell, director of continuous quality improvement,

Boeing Corporation.

Session Two, entitled "Logistics Planning/Fore- casting," starts at 1 p.m. and includes discussion of OHIO Class Maintenance and Material Fore- casting and Application of Quantitative Fore- casting.

The final session of the day, Session Three, an

Interactive Tech Manuals Panel, includes cover- age of IETM Overview and Status, IETM for

Modernizing Ship Level Maintenance and Ac- quisition Strategies for IETM, and an ensuing panel discussion.

Day two, Thursday, March 18, starts at 8 a.m. with Session Four, entitled "Integrating Techni- cal Information," which includes the presenta- tion of six papers including Integrated Technical

Data Management, The Expert System for Provi- sioning and An Integrated Outfitting Manage- ment System (ACTS).

Rear Admiral J. B. Greene, Jr., assistant deputy chief of naval operations (logistics), is the scheduled lunch speaker.

The conference wraps-up with a Session Five panel discussion, "Advances In Diagnostics," at 2:15 p.m. Topics for discussion include Mainte- nance Processor/Time Stress Device and Ship

System Diagnostic Improvements.

Aside from the professional aspects of the

ASNE conference, an array of activities have been scheduled to create an inviting social atmo- sphere as well.

Several tours and cruises have been arranged to allow attendees and their spouses to enjoy the area. Scheduled tours include a Sample Seattle tour, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, a Snoqualmie

Falls/Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery tour from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, and a Tillicum
