Honeywell, under Public-Private Partnership (P³) with the depot workforce at the U.S. Navy's Fleet Readiness Center-East at Cherry Point, N.C., and FRC-Southeast Jacksonville, Fla., has supported multiple products, including APUs, on Navy applications for NAVSUP WSS via a unique Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) program since 2000. Since the program's inception, military operators have enjoyed marked improvement in logistics support including $50 million in savings through:

Sustained 97 percent or greater on-time delivery of products to the field
Significantly increased time on wing for all products, with improved overall platform availability
Elimination of intermediate-level aircraft maintenance tasks due to improved reliability and service implementation
Utilization of highly skilled FRC depot artisans
Introduction of new component repairs and sharing of commercial repair practices, thereby improving depot productivity and reducing consumption of new material
On-site Honeywell technical and materials management support at depot, resulting in improved materials management processes and reduction of on-hand Defense Logistics Agency inventory

Honeywell's Logistics Expertise

Honeywell has a long-standing history of providing efficient logistics support programs for both commercial and military operators. This follow-on contract enables the Navy to continue to use Honeywell's PBL experience to drive additional efficiencies and cost-savings at the Department of Defense.
