Implementing Manufacturing Resources Planning for Marine Corps Logistics Base, Albany, Georgia.

摘要

In today's age of scarce DOD resources, the Depot Maintenance Activities (DMA) in all services are searching for ways to cut costs. One way to accomplish this is to procure a more efficient automated production control system (APCS). Inventories, turn-around time, and labor costs all have the potential to be reduced with proper management supported by an appropriate and effective system. This thesis deals with the procurement and implementation of an APCS at the DMA located at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia. The current system in use at Albany is related to a system in the process of being implemented at the Naval Ordnance Station in Louisville, Kentucky and is discussed in terms of system attributes and implementation concerns.
