EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE FINAL REPORT FOR INTEGRATED ON-LINE SYSTEMS APPROACH TO NAVY SUPPLY OPERATIONS

Abstract

The application of integrated on-line data processing techniques to the total Naval Supply System implies a nation-wide data processing and communications system operating on a 24-hours per-day basis. Users and management would have immediate access to the total supply situation at all times by means of a communications network linking stock points, ICPs, management control points, customer locations, and data processing centers. Transactions (inquiries, requisitions, receipts, reconciliations, etc.) are entered at random into the system through remote on-line in put/output devices located at convenient user locations. Each transaction is immediately transmitted via the communications system to the processor site where, according to its type and content, files are searched, processed and up dated, required action messages are generated and transmitted, and the originator is immediately notified of the action taken on his transaction.
