Year 2000 Computing Issues Related to the Defense Fuels Automated Management System

摘要

The Defense Energy Support Center, a Defense Logistics Agency activity, is the central manager for the acquisition, storage, distribution, and sale of energy products within DoD. This includes the management of electricity and fuel products such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum. The Defense Energy Support Center uses the mission critical Defense Fuels Automated Management System (DFAMS) to manage the various fuel products. The Defense Logistics Agency did not meet the DoD year 2000 target date of December 31, 1998, for implementing corrective actions to DFAMS. Defense Logistics Agency planning officials estimated that the DFAMS year 2000 corrective actions will be implemented by May 1999. The overall audit objective was to determine whether DFAMS would operate after the year 2000. Specifically, the audit focused on year 2000 risk assessments, testing, and contingency plans related to DFAMS.
