Functional Description: Information Management System for the Fort Polk, La Directorate of Logistics.

Abstract

The Directorate of Logistics (DOL) at Fort Polk, LA consists of about 20 buildings. The computerized management system presently used at Folk Polk requires operators to enter data during customer interviews, to consult paper files, to track work orders, to perform daily planning and control activities manually, and to write special reports and inquiries. This report presents functional specifications for a data base management system to better manage DOL equipment maintenance activities at Fort Polk. The described system would interface with presently used software, and would improve the current information management system by providing better capabilities for automated data entry and retrieval, user-defined report generation, networked data base information, and automated tracking of work orders through all stages of completion. This functional description can also be used for similar activities at other Army installations.
