Modernizing Coast Guard Requisitioning Business Practices

Abstract

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is developing modern automated information management systems to further integrate its supply, maintenance, financial, and configuration management functions as part of its Systems to Automate and Integrate Logistics (SAIL) project. The Fleet Logistics System (FLS), a key component of SAIL, has been initiated to 'develop an integrated system to support fleet logistics.' The Coast Guard Logistics Management Division (G-ELM), Office of Engineering, Logistics and Development, has designated the Materiel Management System (MMS) as the future unit-level Coast Guard requisitioning system, replacing the Automated Requisition Management System (ARMS). It is envisaged that MMS be the unit-level means for creating requisitions from requirements submitted by other unit-level applications; transmitting requisitions to the source of supply and the financial system; and transferring information on requisition and commercial procurement to the data collection system. It will receive supply status transactions from the source of supply and distribute them to the unit, financial system, and data collection system.
