Results of the Investigation of the Naval Construction Force (NCF) information Technology Working Group

摘要

This report summarizes the results from the work of the Naval Construction Force (NCF) Information Technology Working Group. The NCF Logistics Quality Management Board (LOG QMB) has characterized current NCF logistics information technology (IT) systems as being partially implemented Navy systems, lacking of comprehensive functionality, relying on legacy or 'home grown' systems, and lacking integration between systems. The Working Group was established in June 2000 to investigate the current and proposed information technology systems to support NCF logistics. In addition, the NCF LOG QMB identified the need to implement TOA management across the NCF - to include force level table of allowance (TOA) requirements, unit/field level and homeport local TOA inventories, the ability for management to stratify TOA requirements against inventories, and to provide TOA analysis to produce programming requirements, acquisition plans, and make purchases. The Working Group focused on the IT systems to support TOA management and current Navy IT systems used by the Fleet. Data was collected by interviewing and issuing data calls to NCF operators. Subject matter experts were used to obtain detail information concerning specific IT systems. Based on initial investigations, migration of NCF to a fully implemented logistics IT solutions will be an intensive effort. This effort will require a complete mapping of NCF business processes, will involve numerous activities and likely require a multi-workyear effort.
