Integrating PBL into DoD Supply Chain Management Logistics Data & IT Solutions PBL NSN IPT Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center 74 Washington Ave N Suite 7 Battle Creek, MI (269) 961- DSN 661- FAX (269) 961- Defense Logistics Information Service

2 PBL Challenges Changing Acquisition Environment Existing DoD Supply Chain Management Systems and eventual implementation of ERP solutions Joint-service PBL programs Multi-national involvement in purchase and production Ensure interoperability, integration and integrity of data NOTE: Common items are any item which will be managed by both DoD and a PBL contractor

3 Alternative Approaches Multiple Source of Supply (SOS) - Services order through existing systems and processes and information is in place to allow DAAS to automatically route requisitions to appropriate SOS Multiple NSN - Assign NSNs to PBL managed Items of Supply separately from existing DOD managed items NOTE: Common items are any item which will be managed by both DoD and a PBL contractor

4 Routing requisitions Routing decode table; FLIS, DAAS, or legacy New MOE Rule, MOE Code, activity code, SOS codes 1,22 Alter or create new Level of Authority; FLIS, legacy Weapon System (or PBL) indicator code N/A Issues / Impacts M-SOS M-NSN 1 – finite # of MOE Codes; recurring need to program each new MOE/act code 2 – recurring need to identify/define new SOS codes

5 NSN Maintenance over Life Cycle Data incompatibilities: - Reference data control / changes - Other: reparability, characteristics, CSI, source control,... N/A Segregation of management data by platform/service (multi-CMD) N/A Control/tracking of Items of Supply N/A Policy change (Multiple NSNs) N/A Issues / Impacts M-SOS M-NSN

6 Other Issues? Receipt/storage/disposal of property (inadvertent mixing stock, Due Out Release, FOB, DEMIL …) Issues / Impacts M-SOS M-NSN

7 Possible Solution in FLIS Multiple SOS Develop decode SOS table New coding i.e., MOE code, LOA, SOS, etc. Design new Total Item Record segment(s) to hold data for each PBL on the single NSN DLIS assessment of impact Major effort: time, money, expertise Military Service / downstream system impacts ???

8 Possible Solution in FLIS Multiple NSN Develop decode SOS table New coding i.e., MOE code, LOA, SOS, etc. Develop cross-reference table to link / track NSNs Develop business rules to control procedures Obtain OSD approval for multiple NSNs DLIS assessment of impact Low to Medium level of effort Military Service / downstream system impacts Customize FLIS output to applicable agency only ???

9 Charting the Way Ahead Comments From Services: Multiple Source of Supply – AF? – Navy? – MC? – Army? Multiple NSN – AF? – Navy? – MC? – Army? Other Options Multi SOS Multi NSN Other Options YOU ARE HERE
