• Collect and validate production schedules, output, cycle and takt time, work in process, yield, scrap and rework, downtime, labor, tooling, material, quality, test, and supplier-delivery data.
• Map data across the prime contractor and critical lower-tier suppliers; reconcile definitions, reporting periods, part identifiers, and conflicting source information.

• Maintain secure, traceable, and reproducible data sets and analytical products in accordance with Government requirements.
• Establish current-state production, capacity, throughput, schedule, quality, and supplier-performance baselines for the assigned program or system.
• Compare planned and actual performance; analyze trends, variance, queue time, flow, yield, utilization, and leading indicators of delivery risk.
• Identify bottlenecks and root causes associated with material, workforce, equipment, tooling, facilities, test, quality, engineering, or lower-tier suppliers.
• Assess the feasibility and likely production impact of recovery plans, capacity expansions, process changes, investments, and supplier interventions.
• Develop forecasts, scenarios, and early-warning indicators that clarify risks to production rates, milestones, and weapon-system deliveries.
• Build production dashboards, scorecards, constraint views, and recurring reports tailored to the BOND team, PAE, program managers, and senior DASN DIB leaders.
• Recommend prioritized actions to improve production flow, throughput, quality, schedule performance, supplier reliability, and constraint visibility.
• Track approved corrective actions, owners, milestones, measures, and results; identify when interventions are not producing the intended effect.
