  Description: 

   

  Marine Corps Calibration Laboratories (TMDE shops) lack an integrated system to record and report calibration transactions directly to the owning unit’s equipment records. Current processes require manual or duplicated data entry across disconnected systems, resulting in inconsistent updates, delayed visibility of calibrated assets, and inaccurate readiness reporting.
  

   

  The Marine Corps requires ELMS to provide an integrated calibration management capability that enables calibration labs to execute, record, and transmit calibration results seamlessly to the system of record. This capability must ensure real-time synchronization of calibration data with unit-level equipment records, maintain complete maintenance history, and enhance readiness visibility and accountability across the enterprise.
  

   

   

  Recommended: 

  FR1. ELMS shall allow calibration laboratories to receive equipment through an automated acceptance transaction tied to the owning unit’s equipment records.
  

   

  FR2. ELMS shall enable creation of calibration work orders containing mandatory data fields such as Serial Number, Calibration Interval, Due Date, and Calibration Standard Used.

   

  FR3. ELMS shall record calibration results including Pass/Fail status, Adjusted, Unserviceable, and Next Due Date.

   

  FR4. ELMS shall generate and attach digital calibration certificates to equipment records upon completion of calibration.

   

  FR5. ELMS shall automatically update the owning unit’s equipment record to reflect calibration completion, results, and next due date.

   

  FR6. ELMS shall display calibration status within readiness and asset reports using standard codes (e.g., Full Cal, Special Cal, Cal Not Required, Inactive).

   

  FR7. ELMS shall enable transaction capability to return calibrated equipment to the owning unit, maintaining an auditable trail of the calibration performed.

   

  FR8. ELMS shall allow calibration technicians to record detailed calibration data, including parts used, labor hours, and technician EDIPI.

   

  FR9. ELMS shall enable batch data entry for bulk calibration of grouped assets such as gauges, tool sets, or test equipment families.

   

  FR10. ELMS shall support barcode and RFID scanning for check-in and check-out of items processed through calibration labs.

   

  FR11. ELMS shall notify owning units when calibration is complete and the item is ready for pickup or return shipment.

   

  FR12. ELMS shall provide automated alerts to units when calibration due dates are approaching or overdue, based on defined time thresholds.

   

  FR13. ELMS shall maintain a permanent calibration history record for each serialized item, accessible for inspection or audit.
