Strategic Planning &Forecasting (SPF) Upgrade
Abstract
SPF is part of a suite of tools in the NMMES Family of Systems that are utilized to assist Navy industrial activities in resource planning and long term workload forecasting to meet CNO strategic maintenance requirements through the gathering and compiling of workforce data. Two additional systems; 1) Performance Measurement and Control (PMC) and Quality Performance System (QPS) are interfaced with SPF to produce the staffing, planning and performance measurement analysis necessary to successfully accomplish work in navy industrial activities. All three of these systems have known software deficiencies which limit productivity and require cumbersome manual workarounds. Historically to effectively operate and meet mission needs, the naval shipyards and RMCs have supplemented this suite with additional local spreadsheet and databases, adding to the complexity of replacing this aging solution. One goal of the SPF Upgrade is to eliminate these ad hoc databases and unify the solution to effectively operate in the targeted navy data center environment. The SPF Upgrade is part of the Service Life Extension that will address the accumulation of significant problems with this system, update the software platform, provide integrated metrics capabilities across naval shipyards and include accessibility of data by planners at headquarters. The SPF Upgrade will modernize the database architecture to provide fully functioning data warehouse environment that will eliminate the weekend long running of PMC jobs that hinders efficiency and productivity. The Upgrade will eliminate the currently required manual interfaces with other NMMES systems to produce a seamless real-time environment that can accommodate all project management metrics, as well as all ship maintenance related metrics. Additionally, it will eliminate the manual data gathering and consolidation efforts required to produce Shipyard Interim Metrics; and eliminate the need for Headquarters and each shipyard to maintain their own unique respective standalone data files.
