1200-1230	Welcome and Introduction Workshop Co-Chairs Steve Adams VP Engineering & Procurement, General Dynamics, Bath Iron Works RADM Millard Firebaugh, USN (Ret.) VP Innovation & Chief Engineer, General Dynamics, Electric Boat
1230-1415	Panel Discussion Zero Maintenance Concepts in Use Today Moderator CAPT John Ingram, USN Commanding Officer, SUPSHIP Bath Industry Representatives Jerry Fanucci KaZak Composites Roland Doktor Warren Pumps Chris Long General Dynamics, Decision Systems John Hamilton Manager, Towed Array Handling Equipment Depot, NUWC Dave Schreder CAE Marine Systems The purpose of this panel discussion is to hear how other non-navy shipbuilding industries are applying Zero Maintenance principles. Emphasis is on practical, real world examples from the manufacture of component(s) to system-level integration on platforms. The discussion will be reasonably unconstrained so we don't inadvertently discard a "good idea" that, at first blush, may sound totally unrelated to the design of warships.
1415-1430	Break
1430-1630	Panel Discussion Zero Maintenance - Definition Moderator CAPT Dave Lewis, USN Shipbuilding Director, PMS400D Panelists Tim Allen SUBMEPP Chris McDonald General Dynamics, Bath Iron Works Eric Jones General Dynamics, Electric Boat Vince Caccese, Ph.D., PE University of Maine Bill Dawson Raytheon Company The objective of this session is to clearly define what is meant by a Zero Maintenance approach. Session participants will work to define what a zero maintenance approach includes and, perhaps more importantly, what it does not. The scope of a Zero Maintenance paradigm will be delineated (e.g,, corrective maintenance allowed but not planned, differences between maintenance actions and 'housekeeping', etc.).

1845-2030	CHOICE OF TWO PANEL DISCUSSIONS
	"Where Do We Need Zero Maintenance Solutions?" Moderator Tim Bassett SUBMEPP Panel Members CDR Dave Brodeur, USN NSSF New London John Edic Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Karl Hasslinger General Dynamics, Electric Boat CAPT Jim Wilkins III, USN U.S. Navy Salvage & Diving (SEA 00C) The purpose of this panel is to hear the Fleet and maintenance providers' perspectives. From the Fleet, this will presumably be a listing of what the dollar drivers are, and/or where labor intensive maintenance requirements are consuming too many sailor-hours. This perspective captures two of the major reasons for approaching Zero Maintenance (reduced O&MN dollars, and reduced crew size), so, we need to give them the opportunity to give us their vision of where maintenance efforts should be focused. The Intermediate and Depot level maintenance providers should provide insight into what real "maintenance nightmares" they have experienced in the execution of planned and corrective maintenance.		"Technologies to Support Zero Maintenance" Moderator RADM Millard Firebaugh, USN (Ret.) General Dyamics, Electric Boat Academia Rep Dr. Ken Reifsnider University of Connecticut Naval Rep CDR Tim McCoy, USN Associate Proffesor Of Naval Construction, MIT Vendor Reps John M. Burdick Inframat, Inc. Bill Nickerson RLW,Inc Jim Woodard Warren Pumps Dr. Bob Lowell General Dynamics, Electric Boat The objective of this session is to provide the audience with a broad overview of the types of technologies that will support a Zero Maintenance design. Technologists from DoD, industry, and academia will discuss new and emerging technologies and trends that can be used to change the way we design and operate our ships. Focus will be on new technologies (e.g., composites, coatings, MEMS / Nano Technologies, electric drive, EMHs / EMAs, etc), advanced monitoring and prognostic systems, automation, and / or processes and procedures that can enable a Zero Maintenance program.

0830-1000	Panel Discussion How to Design for Zero Maintenance Moderator Bruce Rosenblatt President, SNAME & Sr. Vice President, AMSEC, LLC Panelists Chris Long General Dynamics, Decision Systems Tom Stypinski Gibbs & Cox (invited) Ray Williams General Dynamics, Electric Boat Mark Oakes John J. McMullen Associates, Inc. The objective of this session is to provide an opportunity for design yards and equipment manufacturers to identify how we can design ships and equipment to support a Zero Maintenance paradigm. Discussions will include concepts for Zero Maintenance designs, how to eliminate troublesome systems or components, and what has to be changed (contracts, specifications, requirements, etc) to facilitate Zero Maintenance designs.
1000-1200	Round Table Discussion - Closeout Focus is on summarizing and interpreting results from each session's discussions.
