Permanently attach Mx records for life of asset |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
New |
Description Currently, when an asset is transferred from one UIC to another, all maintenance history/records is removed and does not follow the asset.
Recommended Ensure all historical maintenance records and attachments are electronically attached to the asset for its entire life cycle. Have MU mimic PA functions for records updates and attachment management.
Mission Critical Very mission critical. If the entire assets maintenance history is not available, it is difficult to identify maintenance trends and recurring issues. It also hinders researching previous Service Bulletins, Manufacturer's Warranties, One Time Inspections and Time Compliance Technical Orders that have been completed which could lead to potential safety issues.
Benefits Implementing this solution will ensure all historical data is available to maintenance managers for the life of the asset; in order for trends and safety issues to be easily identified.

Update Part Costing to Actual Asset Cost (not Catalog Cost) |
Enterprise |
AF: VSCOS |
New |
Description Warehouse capability is needed to update receive/accept process to be IAW AFI 24-302, chapter 5 requirements. Parts receipt and/or Form DD1348 costs must be loaded to document/account for funds charged to vehicles. Actual part cost also needs to reflect in "Unit Cost" field in M&U when Document Status reflects "Issued". Currently, this field reflects the catalog cost.
Recommended Modify Warehouse, Materiel Mgmt, Receiving, Receive and Accept process. Allow for price modification from parts receipt and/or Form DD1348 costs to reflect actual cost not LP list price. Actual asset cost also needs to reflect in "Unit Cost" field in M&U when Document Status reflects "Issued".
Mission Critical It is mission critical and is mandated per DoD 4500.36, Chapter 2b "The cost associated with this method of NTV support includes these cost elements...Direct and indirect costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the NTV". Accuracy of costing inputs sustainment budget and is calculated in FAST Cost per Mile, our End of Life and Prioritization Models.
Benefits Having actual part cost gives accurate accounting of items purchased and allows accurate reporting of operation and maintenance costs associated with each asset.
Users This option would benefit all Warehouse users. See hatched document for visual explanation |

Nuclear, Reimbursable, Mission Critical Indicator Reflect on Basic Work Order |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
Done |
Description Currently, there is no way to identify that an asset is nuclear certified, reimbursable or mission critical when opening a work order. Fleet analysts and mechanics need a simple way to distinguish assets that are identified as nuclear certified, reimbursable or mission critical to properly direct and perform maintenance actions.
Recommended Add three fields with drop down selections on the Maint Asset screen. The fields can be located on the Basic or Vehicle Characteristics tab. The Field names and drop down selections will simply have the options Nuc Cd "N" for nuclear, Remb/Refd "4" for reimbursable/5 for refundable" and Msn Crt "C" for mission critical. Fields will be blank or N/A for the conditions that do now apply. The field name and codes "N", "4 or 5" and "C" will reflect on the basic work order tab when opening a work order and the technician work order when printed. See attachment which details basic requirement. Additionally, all fields (to include cost centers) need to be easily identifiable when pulling a Maint Asset inquiry or a work order/sub work order inquiry.
Mission Critical Critical. It is imperative that a technician know if a vehicle is certified to handle nuclear cargo or not. Nuclear certified assets have additional rules that governs maintenance; requiring the technician an easily identifiable indicator on the work order to stay in compliance with AFI 63-125, Nuclear Certification Program. Furthermore, it is imperative that Vehicle Management have an easily identifiable indicator and inquiry that an asset is refundable or reimbursable in order to recoup sustainment funds from an outside organization monthly as well as the ability to easily identify mission critical assets.
Benefits Benefits of implementing this change includes saving research time when opening a work order, potential of performing maintenance improperly on a vehicle and decertifying it's nuclear certified status. It will also, save time trying to identify refundable/reimbursable assets as well as improve accuracy of financial reporting per AFI 24-302, para 4.20 "Ensure Reimbursable units are coded correctly and perform follow up actions for financial recoupment."

Parts Request Process for Items not Currently Catalogued |
Enterprise |
AF: VSCOS |
Removed |
Description M/U does not allow for part numbers to be requested without being loaded to Logistics Program (LP) and warehouse, which poses a challenge for technicians to request parts using the M/U part tab. Technicians would need to manually send required 26 data points to the Materiel Control Officer to load part numbers to LP and warehouse to allow technician to go back to M/U part request.
Recommended Minimize the amount of information needed from the technician to get part on demand. Need capability to request part numbers using M/U and will transfer part information to Materiel Control Officer via warehouse module to load to catalog; in order to conduct a more fluid ordering process. Also, allow tab to transfer remarks; stating recommended source of supply or vendor.
Mission Critical It is mission critical and is mandated
Benefits Process will expand parts catalog capability and allow future changes as new models of vehicles & vehicular equipment are introduced to the USAF vehicle fleet.
Users This option would benefit all M/U and Warehouse users.

Calculate and Display Mission Capable Rate (percentage) |
MU |
AF: VSCOS |
Done |
Description Currently, there is no feature within DPAS that displays daily or monthly cumulative Mission Capable (MC) rate percent.
Recommended Add daily MC rate to the DPAS Maint and Utilization Home Page and create a report that will display monthly cumulative MC rate. (NMCM+NMCS hours divided by available hours - 100 = MC%). Calculation does not take into account any assets marked "NMC: NO" or non-accountable assets.
Mission Critical This is mission critical and mandated. Senior leaders as well as vehicle fleet managers utilize the MC rate as a snap shot of the overall health of the vehicle fleet. MC rate is also mandated per DoDM 4500.36.
Benefits The benefit of implementing this solution will improve maintenance leadership's ability to have an accurate and up to the minute sight picture of the health of the vehicle fleet and mission readiness. Air Force non tactical vehicles are also included in our warfighting capabilities (base security, runway repair, aircraft supporting, etc.) as a force multiplier.

Service Names |
Warehouse |
AF: AFERMS |
Done |
Description Need to have Service Names added with specific capabilities.
Recommended Need to have the following Service names added "LL01, LL02, LL03, LL04, LL05, LL06, LL07, LL08, SS06 and New Equipment Training" These service names need to have a check box option that can be selected by warehouses to set those appointments to a minimum of 2 attending 48 hours prior or it automatically cancels the appointment. These Service names also need to sync to the member profile to allow users to update sizes, there needs to be a check box under member profile to select no changes necessary. (Can provide example ideas on a powerpoint at a later date if needed)
Mission Critical highly desired
Benefits time savings, ability to track issue areas and data accuracy.

Insp num gen |
Warehouse |
AF: AFERMS |
Removed |
Description currently the QA/QC reporting function is a mess. mostly due to the fact that the inspections in the system are handled as completely different inspections and not related to each other when in actual fact they are related. for example: If an item has a 30 day and a 120 day inspection due they will be completed concurrently. The QC for that item will apply to both inspections. a QC inspector will not perform two separate QCs on that item. even if the QC is completed a week later, it is still treated as an extension of that inspection not a completely different inspection.
Recommended change the way QC/QA/Inspection numbers(we'll call them job numbers for brevity) are generated. If you make the Job number the same for all inspections on an item completed on the same day and the QC generated from that inspection, with the exception that the final digit changes, you could clearly search for an inspection QC combo and get accurate reports. If you reserved a specific number for QC in the last digit spot it would add even more clarity 0 or 9 for instance.
Mission Critical critical, the QA/QC reports are unusable as they are and require us to use an access database to track QC/QCs until the reporting function works. It will not work without this SCR accomplished.
Benefits we could see positive results form the QA/QC reports SCR we already had implemented.
