1. Congratulations on your selection as Field Activity winner of the Commander’s Award for Team Excellence.

 

2. The CAD/PAD Re-Supply Reengineering Team successfully created a responsive customer friendly re-supply process for explosive items, one of the most challenging types of commodities in the Department of Defense.  Few Government agencies have improved procedures for handling inert (non-explosive) products and few have been successful in redefining the process for that support the customer with critical ordinance requirements.  The CAD/PAD Team met this formidable challenge by engaging customers, process owners, and stakeholders across several chains of command.

 

3. The CAD/PAD Re-Supply Reengineering Team has proven to be a creative, dedicated, professional Team.  This Team has fulfilled its responsibilities as chartered on support of the mission of the Navy.  The new process for requisition, distributing, stocking, and managing Navy and Marine Corps CAD/PADs has resulted in reduction of the re-supply lead-time, is saving work years of burden on the Fleet per year, is saving the United States Navy money, and has the additional benefit of being a paperless process.  The CAD/PAD Program emulates the best practices in commercial industry today.

 

4. The Team’s achievements have set a high standard of excellence and has had a significant impact on the accomplishment of the mission of the Naval Sea Systems Command.  Again, congratulations, and thank you for a job “Well Done!”

I wish to offer my congratulations to the Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) Re-Supply Reengineering Team for being selected for the NAVSEA Commander’s Award for Team Excellence.  Your employee’s Daniel Berkon, Salle Wright and Helene Farrell are essential members and their efforts have added to the team’s success. 

As the lead contractor supporting the Reengineering Core Team, you facilitated and completed a thorough reengineering effort that has reduced the lead-time for the Fleet to order CAD/PAD devices.  This effort reduced from 120 days to 14 days with the average order arriving within 8 days.  Not only did you develop a faster process, the new process avoids 46 work-years of Fleet labor. 

The execution of the reengineering effort was impressive.  The detailed analysis, documentation, and engagement of the Fleet stakeholders thought the development process has been acknowledged by senior NAVAIR management as one of the best examples of how to conduct a reengineering effort. 

Your efforts, as part of the Team, serve to enhance the reputation of the CAD/PAD program as a program that supports the War Fighter.  Congratulations again for winning this prestigious award.  Thanks for a job well done as for being such an asset to the CAD/PAD team.
