Project Sequencing & Scheduling (PSS) Upgrade
Abstract
The PSS scheduling application provides the naval shipyards (Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & IMF, Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & IMF, and Norfolk Naval Shipyard) with a customized, flexible scheduling tool for Chief of Naval Operations maintenance availabilities and other maintenance, repair and overhaul work assigned to the activities in support of the first phase of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan. Key system objectives include: 1) Standardization of the scheduling processes and tools; 2) Creation of dates for use in the NMMES project management software; 3) Generation of user and management reports covering all aspects of scheduling of a ship or submarine availability. The current PSS application is based on a proprietary commercial product originally acquired over 25 years ago. The application is outdated and the vendor has informed the Navy that it will no longer be supported in the near future requiring Navy to pursue an immediate upgrade to a supportable product, while not interrupting maintenance availabilities. The product had already become increasingly difficult to maintain and with the pending loss of vendor support could lead to catastrophic system failure and loss of ability to maintain project schedules.
