Registered Equipment Management System (REMS)/Vehicle Integrated Management System (VIMS) Consolidation,
Abstract
The Air Force Logistics Management Center (AFLMC) was tasked to determine the practicality of a single base-level vehicle management systems which combines the functions of the Registered Equipment Management System (REMS) and the Vehicle Integrated Management System (VIMS). The problem with REMS and VIMS is that the fleet management information is fragmented, i.e., different formats and separate reporting frequencies exist, thus making consolidation and analysis of the information difficult, and verification of data time consuming. To conduct this study, we solicited inputs from the MAJCOM's to determine problems and potential benefits of combining the two systems. We also analyzed both systems for improvements. We determined REMS and VIMS contain adequate information for fleet management, but the way this information is collected and displayed limits meaningful use. We recommend using the upcoming On-Line Vehicle Interactive Management System (OLVIMS) prototype to test the concept of incorporating REMS and Authorization/Allowance information into the OLVIMS data base. The expanded OLVIMS will provide the data necessary for effective base-level fleet management.
