  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description:

  The goal of the Army is to utilize DPAS for Total Package Fieldings (TPFs). This change provides the Army with an end to end process with the exception of the start of the process which  occurs within the U.S. Army's Decision Support Tool (DST).  Incorporation of a download of data from DST would reduce the PMs effort to plan a fielding.  The incorporation of the DST field tracking number into the DLMS transaction (may require an ADC) would also improve traceability back to the fielding plan.  In addition, there are several improvements that DPAS could implement that would significantly streamline the TPF planning and issue phases for the user community

   

  Recommended:

  Materiel Mgmt. - 1. Create a TPF Planning tool screen in Materiel Mgmt.  2. Develop an import for DST data. 3.  Enable the user to review/modify the data imported, and select multiple rows into a fielding plan.  4. Assign a number to the fielding plan.  5.  The TPF Planning tool should provide a number of statuses e.g. (new, planning, approved, scheduled for release, released, etc.). When the plan is approved, DPAS will provide the user with the option to generate orders to the stocking warehouse, or allow for manual coordination with the warehouse.  When the user selects the Requisition option, DPAS will consolidate the qty by Ship To and generate a 511R to the stocking location. It will also generate a 527D to the fielding warehouse, and generate 940R MROs for each Unit by Stock Nbr and qty they are to receive.
  

  Warehouse Mgmt. -  1. Modify MRO to provide for creating a Due Out holding TPF orders in the fielding warehouse when  there is no inventory on hand to fulfill rather than rejecting the MRO.  2. Provide a consolidated report by Unit of items being fielded.  3.  Prior to enabling the issue, the system should verify that the PMR response status was '00'.  If not, then display error / management message notifying the fielding team that the issue cannot be performed.  

  There should be a single view /report (Enterprise (MP) PEO (MD), ICP that depicts the status of TPF. Search criteria should include Date Range, Fielding Number, Fielding Team Warehouse.  

   

  Mission Critical:

  This change will significantly reduce the fielding time. With thousands of fielding occurring a year, ROI can be achieved in less than a year.

   

  Benefits:

  The proposed change will enhance and streamline the TPF process.
