GARY BAILEY Vice President, Supply Chain Management, Lockheed Martin Corporation
Gary Bailey started out his Aeronau- tics Company career in 1978 as a buyer of simple, low-cost products. Today, he is chief procurement officer at the helm of the 1,100-member Supply Chain Management (SCM) organization. SCM finds suppliers for thousands of pieces of parts, subsys- tems and systems utilized in production of military transport, reconnaissance and fighter aircraft delivered to the U.S. armed forces and her allies. Approximately 60 to 70 percent of the parts and systems used are purchased from suppliers around the world. Under Mr. Bailey’s leadership, SCM faces the challenge of establishing a supply chain to meet the manufacturing rate of one F-35 per day. The aircraft is designed
to be flown for the next 30 to 40 years by military around the world and will provide thousands of jobs at Lockheed and supplier facilities for decades. Mr. Bailey has led the organiza- tion’s drive to help small disadvantaged businesses become more competitive through the Mentor-Protege Program. This has been an outstanding success resulting in numerous awards, including two Nunn-Perry awards from the U.S. Department
