Inventories, turn-around time, and labor costs all have the potential to be reduced with proper management supported by an appropriate and effective system. This theses deals with the procurement and implementation of an APCS at the DMA located at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia. The current system in use at Albany is related, a system in the process of being implemented at the Naval Ordnance Station in Louisville, Kentucky, is discussed in terms of system attributes and implementation concerns.
