  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  User often incorrectly identifies Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) reportable data within the Vehicle Characteristics.  Although, the vehicle enterprise provides standardized procedures and guidance for Maint Activity users, many times they utilize their own judgment when profiling assets.  This leads to data variances between assets with the same stock number and common characteristics.  Correcting variances must be done at the asset level and creates additional workload on critical FAST reporting requirements within a short timeline.

   

  Recommended:

  Allow users with PA catalog role to program Vehicle Characteristics at the Stock Nbr/Manufacture Part Nbr level.  Similar to current process of setting the Stock Nbr/Manufacture Part Nbr as FAST Reportable, when identified (toggled green) additional fields would generate to program the characteristics. This should include the following: Vehicle Type Code, GVWR, EISA Acquisition Code, Vehicle Armor, Emergency Response Vehicle, and Law Enforcement Vehicle.  Correctly programed the Maint Asset Master (MAM) would default to these values and blocked editing.

   

  Mission Critical:

  Agencies must report vehicle fleet data using Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) as required by 41 CFR 102-34 Motor Vehicle Management.  Further, Department of the Air Force Instruction 24-302 Vehicle Management identifies DPAS as the agencies Fleet Management Information System and source for FAST reporting.  Accurate data is critical to meeting congressional fleet management mandates.

   

  Benefits:

  Strengthens agency's data integrity and improve FAST reporting accuracy.  Reduces data errors and time needed to correct errors.

   

  Frequency: Daily

   

  Users:

  4.5K users within DF-VEHS maintenance program, as well as potentially benefiting other agencies using DPAS for FAST report.
