Description
The CSP Program frequently moves batches of 1500 serialized SAPI Plates between the NCR IIF and the Camp Lejuene X-Ray Facility. In addition, those SAPI plates are shipped back from Camp Lejuene to the NCR DC, and the DC will replenish the IIF as required. The problem we are having is in the time consuming nature of processing these shipments. in DPAS it takes between 2 and 5 seconds per serial number to process a shipment of serialized items. Given the 5 second worst case scenario, it will take NCR personnel over 2 hours of uninterrupted system time to complete a transfer or MRO of these items. In their previous system, LVI personnel could ship a container containing 1500 serial number in 2 minutes or less.

Recommended
It is requested that the DPAS-WM be updated to allow for the system to process containerized shipments of material for warehouse transfers, dispositions, and MRO's being shipped from the a warehouse to make serialized items easier to ship. If a container is chosen to ship, the system should automatically select all serialized and other material in the container and manifest that info on the 1348 for shipment to another facility or program (External system).

Mission Critical
This is a critical system change requirement, becuase the orginizational structure of the CSP Program is not currently staffed to dedicate the time needed to ship serialized items from the warehouse the way the system is currently designed. In addition, it is difficult for any user to commit the amount of uninterrupted system time needed to complete a serialized transfer, disposition, or MRO.

Benefits
The proposed fix will serve to make processing time of MRO's, dispositions, and transfers of serialized 60 times faster, and will be more in line with aid NCR in meeting its personnel staffing needs without having to hire more personnel to handle the arduous job of entering 1500+ serial numbers for shipment as the system is currently designed.

Users
Yes, this will impact all of CSP, DMC, and other system users across the enterprise.
