Background“This memorandum established policies for the total elimination

of the MILS, formerly known as the Defense Logistics Standard Systemss (DLSS).”USD AT&L Memo: Migration to the Defense Logistics Management Standard (DLMS)

and Elimination of the Military Systems (MILS), December 22, 2003

2005- OSD AT&L continues to support DLMS migration- L&MR recommended another memo- Meeting with Mr. Paul Brinkley (BTA)- “Quad Chart” requested for proposed “Jump Start” program- “Priority Transactions” identified

2006- Jump Start Program Management Plan (PMP) developed and approved- Announcement Memo July 24 ‘06; meetings with BTA on program specifics

“I'll do whatever it takes to help make this happen.” Paul Brinkley, DUSD (BT)

Why is DLMS Migration Important?

MILs formats have become a serious constraint on business processes 40 year old technology Fixed Length Hidden data content Embedded data content Non-compliant date format Redundant data perpetuated

DoD requires an information exchange process that will support Business Transformation initiatives. DLMS addresses all the above and more…

Multiple “Work-Arounds” Across the DoD

DLMS “Jump Start” Concept

Encourages DLMS migration (X12 or XML) by providing “jump start” funding incentives ( from BTA)

Phased, coordinated implementation of current and future high priority (e.g., RFID, IUID) transactions Supports OSD Business Transformation priorities Provides near term process improvements Gives Components experience in implementing the DLMS

DLMS Migration Impact

The DLMS incorporates new and expanded data content supporting process enhancements requested by the Components.

Business Transformation initiatives are enabled by DLMS in the use and exchange of data rich information formats such as: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology Item Unique Identification (IUID)

The DLMS supports new and innovative practices that require a quicker response to data needs in programs such as: Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Prime Vendor Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS) Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV)

DLMS Jump Start Highlights

Program Highlights: Provides “seed” funds (from BTA) for DLMS migration

implementation; ERP implementation focus Provides phased implementation & support strategy:

Phase I: Transactions supporting RFID & IUID receiving processes

Phase II: Transactions supporting SFIS and additional IUID functionality

Phase III: Balance of DLMS transactions Migrations already underway: DSS, BSM, Army LMP.

DLMSMILS

Jump Start Program Metric Percentage of all MILS and DLMS transactions processed IN and OUT of DAASC 16.4 million DLMS processed in April, and 29.8 million DLMS processed in October DSS and BSM migrations are contributing to the goal

Projected goal of 25% DLMS by Dec 2006

Summary

Summary DLMS migration underway (FY 06 starts: DSS, BSM, LMP) High-level game plan formulated for Jump Start incentives BTA announcement signed and Program Plan approved Components nominated 17 systems for conversion start FY 07 Successful migration examples available – Lessons Learned Experience with conversion process mitigates cost over time

Next Steps – the Implementation Strategy Approval and funding announcements by BTA Project initiation Posturing for the future based on BTA Priorities
