Description:
PM Soldier Medical Devices acts as the primary materiel developer for Army medical capabilities. PM SMD supports 400 LINs with a catalog of over 17,000 NSNs and is constantly creating and modifying SKOs to support its mission. After procurement and assembly, PM SMD will field medical equipment to a Unit where it will be received in GCSS and recognized as in custody of the Unit. End users and other parties in GCSS will need visibility of any SKO changes initiated by PM SMD. ELMS currently does not interface BOM data with AESIP. AESIP will feed GCSS and all changes to production BOMs made my the material developer would not be quickly and accurately reflected in GCSS.
Recommended:
Modify ELMS SKO process to interface with AESIP in order to update BOMs in GCSS. This will allow GCSS users to see changes made in ELMS
Mission Critical:
Proposed modification will reduce total man hours required to maintain SKOs within PM SMD's medical enterprise by providing an automatic interface to AESIP to feed BOMs to GCSS-Army.
Benefits:
This solution will deliver cost savings by reducing man hours required to maintain SKOs in two systems. Manual swivel chair process creates risk for inconsistencies between the wholesale and retail SKO records between ELMS and AESIP/GCSS-Army. By updating SKOs in a timely and accurate manner, we reduce administrative delays, improve accountability, and ultimately increase operational readiness.
Frequency:
Daily
Users:
This solution would benefit all 100 PM SMD users operating on ELMS.
