Description
In the WM-Material Mgmt, Set Kit Outfit, Assemble, Add process, we need the ability to create an empty Kit with a Serial Number assigned at creation. We can then update the Kit via Serial Update and vastly reduce the number of screens and clicks it takes to assemble a Kit.  We do not create a job and assign different people different parts of the task in a large warehouse. The person that builds the Kit is in one location co-located with all the parts and does the job to completion.

Recommended
The Kit Assemble process for Kits including LIN/TAMCN components should be streamlined to exclude the necessity to create and process a Pick Plan and Pick. Once the Kit Assembly request is added via the Kit Assemble process it should allow for the specification of a Member to associate the kit to Member sizes, and Kit Serial Nbr. Condition Code, Pick Plan Location or Container would not be necessary. After this information is retrieved, the inventory record for the Kit can be created and added to inventory to include the serial nbr and Member specified as well as the list of stock nbrs that will be included in the kit. The inventory record would be for a completely empty kit and be in Cond Cd G. Once the kit exists in inventory the component inventory can be added to the kit via the Serial Update process or Inventory Update “Yes” hyperlink and sent to QC from there.

Mission Critical
Critical-we do not use the pick process in our business practice. Using it in the software is an unnecessary burden on manpower.

Benefits
Vastly reducing the time to familiarize personnel with the software, reducing the time spent using the software by better than 50%

Users
All AFERMS users and most likely compartments of USMC after speaking with Capt Hubbard at the SAT
