ARN Supply Chain Management System for OCIE
Abstract
This Apparel Research Network (ARN) project report summarizes project activities that focused attention on Organizational Clothing & Equipment (OCIE) Inventories at Germersheim, Germany, and incorporated expanding the current VIM OCIE database to include Yokosuka and Pearl Harbor. It encompassed gaining visibility of Army owned OCIE assets using the functional VIM/Wholesale software application dedicated to OCIE items. The principal deliverables included: (1) Operator training for 3 Defense Supply Center Philadelphia personnel; (2) Training materials for DSCP personnel to effectively train other DSCP Item Managers; (3) On-line and hard-copy User Manuals/Help files; (4) A functional VIM/Wholesale software application dedicated to the OCIE items with visibility of Germersheim and the Army owned OCIE assets in Europe; (5) Visibility of Yokosuka and Pearl Harbor depots in VIM/Wholesale with management parameters formulated from analysis of available historical data; (6) Programs to cleanse Central Issue Facility (CIF)/Installation Support Module (ISM) data as CIFs are migrated from legacy ISM to Modernized ISM. Project activities also included development of capabilities for DOD DSCP ARN systems to receive data from all active ARMY CIFS (CONUS and OCONUS) and merge that data into the Asset Visibility Screens so the DSCP Item Managers have full visibility of both the retail and wholesale inventories.
