Phase I year
2015Phase I Amount
$149,896Benefits:
ES3 anticipates the results of Phase I work will validate the feasibility and need for immediate pursuit of Phase II efforts for multiple stripping solutions utilized at Tinker AFB. After successful Phase II testing, development and implementation of the optimized stripping processes at the Tinker AFB repair depot, the immediate benefit will be reduced shop operational costs. An estimate of the annual savings will be determined in Phase I. The reduced shop operational costs will occur as a result of: A) Higher throughput, B) Reduced re-processing, C) Reduced flow days, D) Improved effectiveness of the stripping systems, E) More effective use of engineering support (through statistical process control), and F) Reduced part or substrate damage. These process improvements will be applicable to both military and commercial repair facilities that utilize coating removal processes
