Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Guidebook

Abstract

There are three goals for developing the DOD DMSMS Guidebook, * Define a proactive DMSMS management process that can be used by Program Managers (PMs) to build an effective DMSMS Program. * Define DMSMS support metrics to measure the effectiveness of a proactive DMSMS Program. * Promote cost-effective supply chain management integrity through DMSMS problem resolution at the lowest (cost, time, functional) level. An effective DMSMS process: * Ensures that all parts and material to produce, or repair, the platform are available * Reduces, or controls, Total Ownership Costs (TOC) * Minimizes Total Life Cycle System Management (TLCSM) cost * Eliminates, or at least minimizes, reactive DMSMS actions Common practices developed by various DoD organizations to achieve these goals and results are presented in this document for consideration.
