Investigate DMSMS Impact on Selected Spare Parts

Abstract

The IOD, SEPD, RDEC, AMCOM has the mission to establish processes for identifying and resolving the problems associated with Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS). The objective of the DMSMS Program is to support readiness by minimizing obsolescence/nonavailability problems In Army equipment. This objective is achieved by taking proactive and reactive steps to support development and implementation of solutions that preserve readiness and support Army goals. Investigation and analysis of the impact of diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages ensures that design changes are incorporated only after a systematic technical evaluation and review of the total cost and effect of the change is conducted. The systems engineering analysis evaluates the long-term life cycle consequences and impact on the manufacturability maintainability and supportability of the overall weapon system.
