In this episode, we talked with the Senior Enlisted Leader of Tesseract, CMSgt Tim Jordan about Tesseract's Theory of Constraints sustainment strategy. Change is hard, but we have a strategy to help the operational Air Force meet mission requirements all while giving more time back to Airmen by using TOC.

In this episode, we talked to Major Vince McLean about taking MICAP Prime overseas, and what the data has shown to support its viability. He expanded upon Major Chip Litchfield's work for his thesis "Accelerate Logistics or Lose" and talked through his research methodology while at school.

Aether Sprint is Tesseract's annual opportunity for frontline Airmen to work directly with Tesseract and Air Force Logistics senior leaders to tackle some of the Logistics Enterprise’s toughest problems on the big stage. Tesseract has collected applications submitted by 23 teams from across #LogNation that proposed solutions to several problem statements focused on pain points in all parts of Maintenance and Logistics. Only three teams were selected as finalists! At #LOA2022, leaders got to hear Airman generated solutions that focus on these three problem statements:

The Theory of Constraints Panel at #LOA2022 covered maintenance, operations, and industry perspectives for #TOC implementation. The panel was moderated by Major General Linda Hurry, and was hosted by Sridhar Chandra, (C)MSgt Tim Jordan, Col Bill Ray, and Col Kevin Lord.
