Air Force Inspection System (AFIS)

This article will provide all the questions and answers to Air Force Inspection System (AFIS) .

AFIS

-Integrated, synchronized system of inspections

 

4 major graded areas (MGA)

-Leading your people; Improving your unit; Managing resources; Executing the mission

 

What is AF policy on CC's at wing level and below regarding IG inspection?

-Commanders at wing level or below will receive at least ONE. IG inspection report during their command tour.

 

What does AFIS Give SECAF, CSAF, & CC's at all levels

-an independent assessment of the compliance, mission capability, & fix deficiencies

 

AFIS objective

-Assessing a unit's readiness, economy, effeciency, effectiveness, & state of discipline (REEED) --> to execute mission

 

 

Purpose of AFIS

-Enable/strengthen CC's effectiveness & efficiency; motivate & promote military discipline; improve unit performance & mgmt excellence

-Identify issues with REEED, compliance, performance, surety & mgmt excellence

 

Wing Inspection Team (WIT) responsibilities

-Identify non-compliance

 

Wg/CC, subordinate CC's & supervisor responsibilities

-Detect non-compliance through self-assessment program

 

Wing IG responsibilities

-Wing should document non-compliance in CCIP insp reports in IGEM

 

 

MAJCOM IG responsibilities

-Document areas of undetected non-compliance; scores Wing CCIP

 

When can CCIP BE positively scored by MAJCOM IG

-By enabling the Command chain a root cause analysis (RCA) and apply corrective actions

 

AFIS Model

1) Mgmt Insp (Field) 2) UEI (Wg) 3)CCIP (Gp/Sq) 4) indiv reporting

 

Mgmt insp

-MAJCOM, DRU, FOA

 

Indiv reporting

-Every Amn is a sensor

 

UEI

-Wing equivalents most DRUs & FOAs

 

CCIP

-Gp/sq/Wg programs

 

 

WIT

-Owned by Wg CC and managed by Wg IG

 

WIT members

-Are not assigned to IG office (out of hide)

 

Wg level inspection

-Vertical/horizontal

 

WIT responsibilities

-Scenario development, inspect areas, provide inputs; verify/validate self-assessment program (sworn in by oath)

 

 

Vertical inspection

-Comes from wing/deep dive/can be single function of program

 

Horizontal inspection

-Wing wide functional insp/equal levels looking at each other

-Large scale exercise

-Wing/base two or more organizations

 

Types of exercises

-Large-scale/small-scale

 

 

Small scale exercise

-Not impacting whole wing (no outside agency response)

 

CIMB

-Meets monthly or as needed

 

Focus of the CIMB

-Reduce undetected noncompliance, manage risk for known areas of noncompliance, ensure wing inspection plan meets CC's requirements

 

CIMB objectives

-ID areas W/risk of undetected noncompliance, assess RCA of noncompliance, determine appropriate actions, review waiver status

CIMB attendees

-Wg/CC (chair), Gp CC, Wg staff agency Chiefs, sq CC may attend

 

Wing CIMB reviews

-Status of corrective action plans, new inspection deficiencies, objective plans for upcoming CCIP events

 

 

Wing IG administers CIMB

-Slides generated by IG, GP and SQ populates

 

Inspection types

-Internal/external

 

Internal inspections

-Conducted by WIT, responsibility and accountability, CCs control the depth and scope, CCIP will focus on detecting noncompliance

 

Examples of external inspections

IG, non-Air Force, none IG, accreditation and certification, UEI

 

External inspections

-Independent inspections of REED

 

 

Internal insp of CCIP looks at what?

-DOC statements, mission essential task list, universal joint task list, mission directives, unit type code

 

CCIP reduces

-Risks of undetected noncompliance

 

Wing IG will validate

-If your self-assessment is defective

 

 

Self assessment program is documented in

-MICT

 

CCIP does what?

-Assess risk, ID areas of improvement, determines RCA & focus limited resources

 

Deficiencies will

-Describe defect requiring resolution

-Deficiencies address impact of

-Continued deviation or noncompliance

 

Deficiency severities are signed

-Critical, significant, or minor

 

 

Id FAM OPR at the IG for

-Critical/significant deficiencies (Will have POC's assigned to it)

 

WIT enters deficiency into

-IGEMS

 

PM is responsible to change MICT to

-Reflect deficiency

 

Open and close deficiencies are visible to

-Unit, group, wing, and FAM (MAJCOM)

 

Inspection period begins

-Immediately after the close out of the previous UEI report

 

UEI is conducted by

-MAJCOM IGs, AFIA

 

 

Airmen to IG sessions (ATIS)

-Structure discussion by a train facilitator who gathers info/perspective on issues that IG might need to inspect

 

Special interest item (SII)

-Means to gather data to evaluate status of specific programs; no more than 5 active SIIs

 

MAJCOM/IGs will sample

-SIIs during formal insp

 

Normally SIIs will not be

-Graded/rated

 

 

CII

-MAJCOM unique procedures to gather data on interest items (limit 5 & not coincide with AF SII)

 

Frequency of UEI cycle (AD/reserve)

-24-30 months

 

Continual evaluation

-Virtual sampling on MICT; focus on trend items

 

Ang UEI cycle

-48-60

 

 

Outstanding

-85-100

 

Highly effective

-65-84.9

 

Effective

-35-64.9

 

Ineffective

-0-14.9

 

Marginally effective

-15-34.9

-IG visit to validate CCIP within 90 days (65% max)

 

Inspection reports

-Strengths, deficiencies, recommended improvement areas RIA

 

Score between 35-65 during the 90 day

-Shortened 1 year UEI cycle

 

 

Executive summary

RCA

-AF 8 step problem-solving model
