  Change Request: Process Improvement

  
  

  Description: 

   

  The current ELMS system uses an overly simplified and outdated set of job statuses that does not reflect the full range of actions and stages in Marine Corps maintenance workflowsBRD JOB STATUES. This limited framework creates several operational and reporting issues:Units lose visibility of their equipment once it is evacuated to higher echelon maintenance, preventing accurate readiness reporting.Lack of granular statuses disrupts communication between organizational levels and reduces transparency of maintenance progress.There is no real-time visibility for using units, which hinders operational planning.Readiness reporting is compromised, particularly when equipment is in intermediate maintenance activities but only shows as a generic “in maintenance” status.
  

   

   Identified Material Weakness: The absence of sufficient job status categories and transitions creates a material weakness in reporting and accountability, leading to inaccurate readiness visibility, poor auditability, and delays in decision-making.
  

   

   

  Recommended:
