  Description
  Currently, there is no way to enforce Air Force DPAS M&U users to input Est Labor Hours on  Sub Work Orders when creating a Work Order. This is a mandatory function for user to input Est Labor Hours which leaders use for workload planning, scheduling maintenance and productivity assessments. This is also necessary so current information can be seen and sent to LIMS-EV, for leaders to view and use in vehicle maintenance production decision making processes. The failure of users not updating Est Labor Hours is preventing LIMS-EV from providing an accurate picture on workload productivity and Direct vs Est Labor Hour Variances. We propose making the Est Labor Hour data field a mandatory input when opening work orders in DPAS.

  Recommended
  The ability to ensure that all users are inputting Est Labor Hours in a Sub Work Order is crucial. When creating a Sub Work Order this field needs to be a mandatory and an error message needs to pop up when there is not a number in the Est Labor Hour field when no labor hours are entered.

  Mission Critical
  This is critical.  Enterprise Fleet managers count on viewing this information in order to make informed personnel decisions. This is mandatory for Mx Activities so the most current and accurate information is sent to the Enterprise Leadership view in LIMS-EV.

  Benefits
  This would benefit Air Force leadership by getting the most accurate and up to date maintenance status of all Air Force assets as well providing a viable performance indicator.

  Users
  This SCR will affect the entire AF vehicle site, all Air Force Fleet Managers/Superintendent and FM&A personnel utilize this information for day to day fleet management purposes.
