Transformation Capability Initiative -Foundational Logistics Information Technology Enterprise System (FLITES)
Abstract
FLITES will provide comprehensive Item Catalog and Provisioning functions for the Logistics business systems, and will replace the Item Management Control System (IMCS) suite of legacy systems, at a minimum. It will be the central repository for the Item core business objects, providing standardization of Item cataloging processes, structure, attributes, propagation, and standardized views for all applicable Item types. Additionally, FLITES will receive product structure input from an engineering Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) type system. FLITES will contain the Item data that is the core underlying information for each Transformation Capability Initiative (TCI), and as such, will integrate with many logistics enterprise systems. FLITES is a pilot program within NDAA Section 873, "Agile or Iterative Development Methods to Tailor Major Software-Intensive Warfighting Systems and Defense Business Systems pilot program." In FY21, the program name was changed from Item Master Logistics Capability Initiative (IMLCI) to Foundational Logistics Information Technology Enterprise System (FLITES).
