Description
On July 26, 2007, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted a regulation to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from in-use (existing) off-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles in California. Such vehicles are used in construction, mining, and industrial operations. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) mandates the reporting of Diesel Off-road On-Line Reporting System (DOORS) for DoD agencies in California.

1. Add a asset field to indicate DOORS reporting is required for that asset.
2. Provide for specific DOORS data elements on the asset record. See additional document for these DOORS data elements.
3. Add a DOORS filter to the the Inquiry/Asset Management/ Asset inquiry to identify assets coded for DOORS reporting.
4. Provide the ability to extract via inquiry and/or Forms/Reports the data DOORS data elements for each asset.

Mission Critical

Description
Currently, the Cal Date and Next Cal Date is not resident on the DW05UA Receipt(Unit Returnable Items List). These dates need to be added so the Responsible Officer knows when the item(s) Cal Dates are due.

Recommended
Recommend adding Cal Date and Next Cal Date to the DW05UA Receipt.

Mission Critical
Yes, the Responsible Officer needs the visibility to know when Cal Dates are required.

Benefits
This will improve the Responsible Officers awareness of Calibration due dates.

Users

No Longer Needed.

Description
The obligation document would be better suited if it were on the Basic Tab when receiving the asset through DAI.

Recommended
Please move the obligation document number forward in the receiving process to the Basic tab.

Mission Critical
When DAI and DPAS are integrated, the obligation document number being at the beginning of the receiving will make receiving assets through the DAI/DPAS easier.

Benefits
This will reduce, time, cost and will also improve accuracy in accountability and financial reporting.

Users
This will affect all users within the MDA program.

Description
When scheduling the Fiscal Year report (Rpt ID: LPWHR15) by Region, or Site, the current process does not have summary tabs. A summary tab will allow for a roll up view of all warehouses listed under a region.

Recommended
Request a Summary Tab(s) be created for each type of facility (UIF, IIF, and as other agencies have identified). The Summary Tab will be created whenever a Regional Fiscal Report is generated. It will display in the same format with the same type of transactions, dollar value of transactions, and inventory value but captured as an aggregate under the Region or site.

Mission Critical
Yes. Allows for higher headquarters a roll up view of their business volume by region.

Benefits
Reduces time, cost, and manpower associated to creating this type regularly.

Users
Yes. All regions and any agency who require aggregate views of this information.

Description
Customer Mgmt > Member Profile - we need visibility of the sizes crew members are assigned and ability to track/view actual crew member sizes.

Recommended
Add tabs on member profile: chem equip, flight equip, oversized equip, anti-exposure, medical info; see attachment for required fields. All fields need to have a secondary field that shows "assigned sizes", which are the sizes of equipment actually assigned to the member. This gives us the ability to see any mismatches due to shortage of equipment.

Mission Critical
Critical. We need to ensure members get the proper size gear. If they receive the wrong size due to shortage we need to be able to identify that and correct the issue when gear becomes available. It is also critical that we have actual member size requirements in order to properly forecast equipment needs.

Benefits
Assurance that crew-members have the right equipment. Increased forecasting accuracy

DUPLICATE – SCR 00890 is original entry.

Description
We have 5 day, weekly, 30 day insp, etc. The current system design auto populates the inspections 30 days in advance. we have items that will always show up on the scope. We cannot update these kits while an inspection is assigned to them.

Recommended
At the NSN level, allow a tailorable lead time for when the inspection will auto generate. In addition un-allocate an item that has a QC assigned so we can update them.

Mission Critical
We will not be able to use the auto generation feature for QCs until this is fixed. we currently have to fail an item, update it, then create a new inspection to sign it off as passed.

Benefits
Time savings, accurate list of due inspections.

DUPLICATE – SCR 00962 is original entry.

Description
Material Mgmt > Individual > Return - NVGs get returned by placing them in a locker or drop box. The member is not present when the item is returned and we need a way to return the item. Currently you can't perform a return without scanning the member's CAC or knowing the member's name.

Recommended
A Return should be generated automatically when an issue occurs. You should be able to find the return by two additional means: Scanning the ICN, or Scanning the issue receipt

Mission Critical
Critical. We issue items to a crew member and they return them in a drop box. they are not present when items are returned in the system. Also we issue kits for a crew to a crew member and they are not always the member who returns them.

Benefits
We will be able to return items we issue

Recommended
Add an unalterable, date and time stamped report named "site snapshot". the report needs to contain a list of the warehouses in a selected site, the inventory in those warehouses with all? the same information available that is in inventory update manager, "QC" inspections associated with those items(current and historical), and personnel in the warehouse

Mission Critical
Critical. This data is used in accident investigations and safety boards. we need the ability to freeze this data and ensure it is unaltered while still allowing the mission to continue.

Benefits

DUPLICATE – SCR 00898 is original entry.

Description
We have no means to view expiring items at a logistics program level under inquiries.

Recommended
Add: inquiry, inventory, "expiring items" - have allow search by NSN or LIN/TAMCN. As a search feature, include a date picker with "items expiring before this date". ensure DOM DOI and DOE columns are viewable. Add a button "AFTO223" that populates and generates the attached form. The AFTO223 is a time change forecast. it has three years broke out by quarter and four additional years. this is not calendar year based, it is fiscal years and quarters. The first quarter of a year starts 1 October. Allow multiple stock numbers to be selected for addition to the form and allow the starting FY(fiscal year) to be selected before generating form.

Mission Critical
This is why we got into DPAS. we cannot accurately forecast with the current inquiries.

Benefits
reduces manpower and human error in time change forecasting
