NMMES Technical Refresh (NMMES-TR)
Abstract
Funding was moved to PU 3432 of PE 0605013N starting in FY19. The current Navy Maritime Maintenance Enterprise Solution (NMMES) toolset enables the execution of submarine, aircraft carrier, and surface ship maintenance and repair for the Naval Shipyards (NSY), Intermediate Maintenance Facilities (IMF), Regional Maintenance Centers (RMC), and Ship Repair Facilities (SRF). It consists of a family of systems and applications that are at (or nearing) their end-of-life. These systems and applications support a workforce of over 51,000 worldwide and enable approximately $9.5B per year of maintenance and repair work. The Workforce Management and Financial Management systems were removed from the NMMES TR scope by the Analysis of Alternative (AoA) Preferred Alternative, and will continue operation and sustainment as part of the NMMES portfolio. The critical business processes to schedule, execute, monitor, certify work, and pay employees at each activity are codified within the Information Technology (IT) toolset; there is no manual alternative. Annual efforts to restore the NMMES budgets to meet requirements have only been partially successful and have required multiple annual supplemental actions to address deficiencies. The urgency to modernize these systems has grown every year as deferred upgrades and underfunded sustainment has led to the current state of the NMMES toolset. The NMMES-TR is a pre-Milestone A acquisition program that will provide a sustainable enterprise IT solution leveraging Commercial, Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology and business processes for shore maritime maintenance, which also standardizes processes and tools. Unlike the uniquely custom designed status quo toolset, the NMMES-TR solution will not implement product customization to match the current maintenance business processes; but rather, maintenance business processes will be modified to match the solution, thereby adopting industry best practices. Accordingly, the solution will be more flexible to the BPR process, and more agile to capitalize on efficiency improvement opportunities and innovations. This will facilitate alignment with the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP) by assisting the maintenance activities with accomplishing assigned tasks as planned in order that submarines, aircraft carriers, and surface ships can properly train and deploy on schedule. NMMES-TR will also provide a modern solution that will be more effective and efficient in combating cybersecurity threats, and capable of continuous monitoring. The actual solution will be formed after the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA).
