The Uniform Materiel Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS)

Abstract

This report describes our study of the Uniform Materiel Movement and Issue Priority System (UMMIPS). Our primary conclusions and recommendations are drawn in three areas: (1) structure of the priority system, (2) structure and definition of the processing segments, and (3) prescribed time standards. Specifically, the proposed structure of the priority system allows the user the flexibility to specify an issue priority designator, and a processing and transportation designator. The recommended revisions to the structure and definition of the processing segments are designed to increase management visibility and control. Finally, revised time standards are proposed. These standards reflect the recommended UMMIPS structure, the revisions to the processing segments, and our analysis of the current UMMIPS.
