Materiel Readiness Support Activity Automation Plan

Abstract

A comprehensive survey was conducted of the Materiel Readiness Support Activity (MRSA) of the Army Material Command (AMC) to determine their uses of automated data processing technology. This survey (unattached Appendix B) was then used to project a long range plan addressing MRSA's data processing needs. The long range automation plan for MRSA is presented in this report. The Army Materiel Command (AMC), Materiel Readiness Support Activity (MRSA), Information Management Division (IMD) saw a need to determine an integrated automation plan that would address their current and future data processing needs. IMD's concern was that their service to their end-user community (in- house Divisions) not be degraded by the acquisition of diverse automation resources which could not communicate with each other and which require specialized training. MRSA asked the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (USA-CERL) to address this problem which is largely one of networking and porting code between different computers. The objective of this research was to develop a comprehensive automation plan for MRSA.
