DLA Preprovisioning Prototype: A Successful CALS (Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistic Support) Demonstration Project
Abstract
The most significant problems in the provisioning process is missing or inadequate technical data - the early use of the Preprovisioning Prototype (PPP) helps solve the problem. It does this by identifying technical data deficiencies early enough in the process so that the contractor can correct them before provisioning team members review item information with the item manager and the manufacturer. The PPP also improves Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) review of provisioning data received from the military Services and their contractors, shortens the data review cycle, improves tracking of work assignments as well as technical and provisioning data, increases data integrity, and increase information accessibility. The PPP project demonstrated that significant opportunities exist within Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) to streamline provisioning and cataloging processes. Because of the benefits derived from the PPP, we recommended that DLA immediately expand the demonstration project to provide a full production capability. We also recommend a comprehensive modernization of the provisioning process - consistent with the CALS environment.
