Description
EXPERIENCE SUMMARY: Mr. Outhuse has extensive experience with US Navy Combatant Configuration Management/Data Management/Contract experience, including the lead ships of 5 classes of U.S. Navy combatants, DDG-51, MHC-51, LPD-17, DDG-1000 and both variants of the LCS Class. Mr. Outhuse also participated in the FFG-7, T-AKR-300 and USCG WAGB Programs. Mr. Outhuse has developed the Government Furnished Equipment test sequencing network for the Coast Guard's Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC). Previously he assisted the Coast Guard in developing the OPC Class Configuration Management Plan and the Engineering Change Control Process. He supported PMS 501's and PMS 505's Configuration Management Team as the CSRA/CSC Configuration Team Lead where he supervised 12 personnel. Duties aside from administrative management and configuration management included developing the Custody Transfer Books for the transition of the ships from PMS 501 (Acquisition) to PMS 505 (Fleet Operations). Prior to this, Mr.Outhuse was the Configuration Management Support Lead for the Production Director in the DDG 1000 Program Office. This included developing the DDG 1000 Program Office Configuration Management Plan and reviewing and approving the Prime Contractors' Configuration Management Plans. Mr. Outhuse was a participant on the Technical Review Boards and the subsequent Configuration Control Boards (CCBs). On the LPD 17 Program, he was the Configuration Director for Avondale Industries (now Huntington Ingalls Industries) as well as the CCB Chair. On LPD 17, he oversaw the development of an Integrated Data Environment (IDE) which greatly facilitated the control of the engineering, logistics, test, software and production baselines of the LPD 17. Through the use of this IDE, the Configuration Management Team was reduced from 17 to 6 full time personnel with an increase in efficiency. The baselines of all LPDs in construction were available on a real time basis. He is a strong advocate of a rigid configuration management discipline which prevents cost growth, schedule creep and greatly enhances post delivery cost avoidance to the operational Navy.
