Logistics Information Technology (LOGIT)

Abstract

ECSS is utilizing a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application to replace 179 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 FY11-13 efforts include: Pilot A, B, and C activity, Data Cleansing, Solution Development, Early Operational Assessment, testing, training, Site Preparation, and fielding. Activities also include gap analysis, Long Lead Data Cleansing, and risk reduction efforts to support Release 2-4. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Change Summary Explanation
The ECSS Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) approved a major program restructure in December 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. FY10 Funding Adjustments include Congressional rescissions, reprogrammings, and adjustments for higher Air Force priorities. FY12 Funding Adjustments decreased due to higher Air Force priorities.
