Logistics Information Technology (LOGIT)

Abstract

ECSS is utilizing a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application to replace 240+ wholesale and retail legacy logistics Information Technology (IT) systems. ECSS is a component of the larger eLog21 systems architecture and consists of modules that will streamline and integrate financials, order management, purchasing, inventory management, distribution, and other business functions of the Air Force onto one platform. Use of ERP/COTS products will provide the warfighter and the AF enterprise with DoD and industry best business practices and capabilities, including product support & engineering, supply chain management, expeditionary logistics Command & Control, acquisition & procurement, and maintenance, repair and overhaul. ECSS will comply with the DoD IT Standards Registry (DISR), Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act, and the Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP). ECSS will reside on the Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS-AF) Integration Framework (IF). Release 1 FY09-11 efforts include: Pilot A, B, and C activity, Data Cleansing, Solution Development, Early Operational Assessment, testing (to include pre-Milestone B User Evaluation Test in FY10 and preparation for Initial Operational Test & Evaluation in CY11), Training, and Site Preparation. Activities include gap analysis and risk reduction efforts to support Releases 2-4. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because the program modernizes Automated Information Systems (AIS).

Document Details

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2011
• Source ID: 0708610F_7_3600_PB_2011
• Change Summary Explanation: The ECSS Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) approved a major program restructure in September 2009 to reduce overall program risk and implement smaller initial implementation steps. This restructure preserves all planned ECSS functionality by implementing four releases with six pilots versus the original approach of three releases with no pilots. Under this revised construct, the program is pursuing separate Milestone B and C events for each release. Lower level FY09-11 program activities have been rephased to reflect 2009 rescissions. Despite introduction of additional risk, rephased activities support full executability of Release 1 to the MDA approved schedule. FY2010 Appropriations Conference produced an FY2009 $10M RDT&E rescission. FY2011: The FY 2010 President's Budget submital did not reflect FY2011 through FY 2015 fnding. Therefore, explanation of changes between the two budget positions cannot be made in a relevant manner.
