Industry Sustainment Business Case Analysis (SBCA) Workshops: NEW DATES
Purpose: The purpose of this notice is to invite industry representatives working in defence sustainment to participate in one of the on-line Industry Sustainment Business Case Analysis (SBCA) Workshop, listed below. This workshop will assist industry in understanding Defence Materiel Sustainment (formerly: the Sustainment Initiative) and its strategic context, the SBCA process, industry’s role in supporting the SBCA process, and gaining insight into how materiel sustainment and SBCA may affect the delivery of sustainment solutions for military equipment.

Dates Time
Monday, 16 September 2024 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (EDT)
Tuesday, 19 November 2024 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (EST)
What is a SBCA: The SBCA is a rigorous analytical process that guides sustainment teams in developing flexible, scalable, and principles-based sustainment solutions. The analysis framework of SBCA relies on a whole-of-government approach with early industry engagement. It results in both improved decision making, and the development of integrated sustainment solutions that are optimized based on the four principles of sustainment: performance, value for money, flexibility, and socio-economic benefits. The SBCA is designed to assess/evaluate all relevant options contributing to the development of tailored sustainment solutions for military equipment.
Why is this important: The SBCA guides the development of sustainment solutions and the resulting procurement of equipment support services. Combined with preliminary SBCA option analyses, these enable Canada to meaningfully engage with industry, early in the procurement process. This facilitates forthright discussions on commercial sustainment considerations, opportunities for innovation and mutual risk reduction, the strengths of industry members, and more. Early engagement provides industry with additional time to craft sustainment solutions that closely align with client requirements. The early establishment and discussion of outcomes, underpins Canada’s ability to integrate performance measures, payment, incentives and results, to achieve optimal sustainment outcomes, as per the four sustainment principles (performance, value for money, flexibility and socio-economic benefits).

A copy of the workshop presentation slides will be provided. Workshops are conducted in an informal atmosphere that provides for questions and discussion.
