Description
USAFA contacted DPAS to seek improvements in the Individual Issue process.  Overall, they are very pleased with what DPAS has provided, but when they have fielding day, they struggle to be able to service all of the cadets in a single day.  That perspective alone, they have identified several items that if DPAS were modified, they believe they would be able to service the cadets.

Recommended

1. Display of Member Profile data at the commencement of the issue.  They are not currently using MILs and believe if they could bypass this step, they could achieve more throughput
   •  Add to the Warehouse AUD a check box (bit_flg) to indicate whether to display the Member Profile upon entering the II process.
   •  Modify Individual Issue to read display switch and act accordingly.
2. Scanning of Bar Codes should increment Qtys.  This would streamline the issue.
   •  Improve the scan feature to support Qty updates.  Either scan will increase Qty or a Scan of a bulk asset will pop up a Qty box for the user to input the qty.
3. Manual Sign - When the issue is complete, DPAS displays the quick print window.  They do not print a completed from.  They want this not to display to streamline the process and increase the throughput.
   •  Add to the Warehouse AUD a check box (bit_flg) to indicate whether to display the print window. Need to determine at what phase they want to stop the sign/print step. May require more than 1 check box or a drop down of options.
   • Modify Individual Issue to read display switch and act accordingly.
4. Once they complete an issue and want to start the next issue, they indicated they must select the Back Arrow.  They are looking for a faster / easier to start the next Issue.
   •  Add a "New" Button to Screen to return the user to page 1 of the issue process to start the selection of the next member.
