Automated Personal Property Operations Preliminary Systems Analysis.
Abstract
Processing personal property shipments is currently accomplished by manual procedures that are non-standard, cumbersome and time consuming. This project seeks to automate the procedures in Navy personal property offices to improve the coordination and control of personal property movement and to improve visibility and quality of information used by these offices. The project focuses on those areas of personal property operations which involve nontemporary storage, outbound shipments, inbound shipments, quality control, and contractual services. This automated system will consist of a computer network which ties together programmable intelligent terminals located at the personal property transportation offices (PPTO's) and large central processing units located at various remote service installations. The large computers will be used in a batch mode to provide management information. The intelligent terminals will be used in the PPTO's to provide for: completion and preparation of required documents; selection of appropriate carriers; interrogation of inbound status files; and transmission and receipt of system information.
