Currently ICP does not have the capability to identify the following: specific asset-id of replacement, end item or Next Higher Assembly component, or Unit Type Code (UTC) requirement

 

Develop additional data element that identifies, replacement asset-id, NHA, or UTC/Auth-id. Data element should be available on Local Due-in report.

 

DAFMAN 23-122_DAFGM2022-01, para 5.2.1.3.2.2.3 when supporting replacement requests, include DPAS Asset-id.

 

 

This will help enterprise ensure requirements are on order to support unit operational plans.

1) Provide an option within M&U to cancel a requisition after issue, document the item as returned to stock and remove the entry from the sub work order. 

2) Provide a Maint Issue reversal within the Warehouse module, receiving item back to original warehouse-picked location and remove request from the sub work order. 

3) Provide an option to edit unit cost within sub work order after the request enters "IS-Issued" status. Unit cost correction should allow the user to adjust the Unit Cost within the Sub Work Order Parts section updating the work order's non-labor costs.

 

Department of the Air Force policy dictates documentation of sustainment expenditures and proper management of warehouse inventory.  This change is critical to accurate financial records, strengthening the department's Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation (FIAR) efforts.

 

Eliminates work-a-round required to remove issued parts for the work order and return items to stock. Improves Department of the Air Force’s accuracy of sustainment costs and financial records.

 

Add Current Meter Reading as a available field when performing Asset Preventative Maintenance Schedule Inquiry.

 

Critical to completing schedule maintenance on-time and not degrading mission capabilities.

 

Change will improve data accuracy and user experience.

 

Add Non-Mission Capable (NMC) as a Maint Program configuration option. When option is selected all new work order will open with NMC=Yes as the default with an error message if the asset has an open NMC work order. Open NMC work order "error message" will trigger users to close the current NMC work order or edit new work order to reflect NMC=No.  This would function exactly the same as the current user preference, but give the Maint Director option to implement this default across the Maint Program and affect all work orders.

 

Critical to accurately capturing fleet readiness and meet Department of the Air Force policy mandates.

 

Change will improve NMC data accuracy and fleet readiness reporting.

 

Support for the MS Excel xls format is being phased out.  DPAS needs to updates it import processes to utilize the Ms Excel XLSX format

 

Modify the DPAS import processes to utilize the MS Excel xlsx for the import template, and enable the import to process the updated format file.

 

Microsoft has phased out the use of the xls format

 

Eliminates security concerns and standardizes the process to use current Excel formats.

As part of the FLIS Transformation and Cataloging Modernization efforts at DLA, FPDW has partnered with DLA’s Defense Automated Address System (DAAS) to provide NSN item data. FPDW web services will no longer be available after 30 November 2023.

 

DPAS jobs currently accessing the FLIS webservice must be updated to pull and parse the IPV8 flat-files from GEX for NSN additions and updates.

 

This is both mission critical and mandated. Updates must be in place for the November 2023 cut off to ensure DPAS continues to receive data from FLIS.

 

This update is required to ensure updates from WebFLIS are reflected in DPAS to ensure NSN data is properly reflected in the system ensuring accuracy and maintaining accountability of data correctness.

There are several requests from various agencies regarding the expansion of SKO catalog functionality to allow enhanced import/export capabilities, automatic generation of SKO catalogs during the build process, support for multiple nested kits, as well as requirements to support other hierarchical item associations outside the scope of the kitting process. To spearhead these updates a tech refresh of the SKO Catalog process should be preformed to migrate the logic to the new tech stack providing new UI, and preventing migration of newly added functionality  

 

To spearhead proposed updates to the DPAS kitting processes, a tech refresh of the SKO Catalog process should be preformed to migrate the current functionality to the new tech stack thus paving the way to implement user requested system changes to the SKO Catalog process.    

 

Mission critical. Kits continue to be highly utilized by various agencies within the system. Allowing us to build on top of current functionality is pivotal to continue providing additions to support user functionality.

 

Refreshing the SKO catalog process will reduce the time required to apply future updates to the kitting logic by ensuring new functionality is included under the new tech stack, removing the need to migrate logic in the future.

DPAS M&U lacks the ability to identify items as Critical Assets.  Some assets are of such high importance to the warfighting mission that they need to be labeled as Critical Assets. These items are vital to meeting DODD 4151.18 mandates that maintenance programs are structured to "meeting readiness and sustainability objectives (including mobilization and surge capabilities) of national defense strategic and contingency requirements. It is of significant importance for senior leaders to monitor availability of these assets on a real-time basis to detect and resolve shortages that impact readiness. Per DAFI 21-101 it is the Maintenance Group Commander's responsibility to "Establish Minimum Equipment Levels (MELs) for essential maintenance assets to include support equipment and vehicles.This capability was present in legacy systems prior to our transition to DPAS M&U and is now being accomplished manually via spreadsheet (daily updates required).

 

Add a new checkable attribute in the Maintenance Asset Master labeled Critical Asset. This attribute needs to be added as a field in the Maint Asset Inquiry; needs to be a search option in MAM; and needs to be added to the "additional attributes" section of the Work Order.

 

DODI 4151.18, AFI 10-2402; DAFI 21-101

 

This change will ensure senior leaders are able to assess and monitor the health of critical assets,  maintaining the ability to execute War Orders effectively IAW DoD and AF policy.

Description:

Some DPAS Modernized Applications need updated to meet current development standards and incorporate new features.  These changes have already been designed and implemented for new services going forward, but existing services need to receive these updates.

 

Recommended:

Implement the list of architectural changes into existing services that do not yet have these changes.  This includes the following changes: DPAS Health Checks, Update NServiceBus, Remove LangVersion from Project Files, Set the Environment Exit Code to non-zero, Remove CreateErrorHostBuilder and related logic, Disable Swagger Endpoints in Production, Add generateAppSettings, Update Dpas.API & Versioning Configuration, Remove Metric Service and related code, Add Eastern DateTime Converter, Implement Dpas.SessionManagement package.

 

 

 

This will make all service implementations more consistent, reliable, reduce code, and incorporate new features that have been developed in other parts of the system.
