Description
SPECWARCOM currently uses a system called SWALIS. It has the capability for the user to scan the materiel they will issue, then import the list of materiel into the system to complete the Unit Issue, Printing of the DD Fm 1149 and obtaining the Custodian's Signature. This SCR is being submitted as a result of a requirements gathering meeting with SPECWARCOM. The SPECWARCOM POC is: Brent Hull.
Recommended
Develop a Unit Issue/Return process for the HHT/Tablet that will enable the warehouse worker to capture the materiel to be issued/returned. The process would then allow for the import of the data captured via a docking station or via wireless (WIFI) communication to the DPAS server to allow for the Issue / Return to be completed using the standard DPAS Unit Issue/Return processes. While this the minimum requirement, being able to perform the full Unit Issue from the HHT/Tablet would be considered an improvement over the current requirements as long as the HHT/Tablet process could accommodate the custodian signature capture and the printing of the DD Fm 1149 (Issue Documentation) without having to login to the Desktop Terminal.
Mission Critical
SPECWARCOM is transitioning away from SWALIS (eliminating the system) to DPAS. Several of the Warehouses expressed a need for this capability prior to their transition to DPAS.
Benefits
Eliminates a system which will save the Department several million dollars/year.
Users
This capability could improve current users and future users of the Unit Issue Processes by streamlining the data capture (items must be Bar Coded to be most effective).
