COSIS Pilot ProgramObjectives

Ready. Resourceful. Responsive!

• Document the COSIS Processes & Methods for:• Navy Standard COSIS• Navy Comprehensive COSIS

• Explore better methods of executing COSIS • Develop Guidebook/ Best Practice Manual for COSIS managers to support standardized approach with flexible tailoring based on unique locations and nature of inventory • Better use of inventory management data prior to performing COSIS

Pilot Phase I NAVAIR Lakehurst: The Scenario

Facility: 118,000 ft2 floor space with additional 16,380 ft2 short term bulk storage53,000+ items with estimated value over $417MSupports NAVAIR LKE SE Initial Outfitting Acquisition FunctionFor initial outfitting, the Staging Facility receives, stores & ships:

newly acquired SEassociated SEFMS equipmentALREaviation equipment

In FY08, over 19K items were received and over 13.8K items were shipped from the Staging FacilityAll items are bar-coded, interactively scanned and information is located in a real-time web-based data system

The NAVAIR Lakehurst PilotThe Approach

Explore a different approach for COSIS:Review by “walk around” is one method, but not only methodData, data, data…

Data on facility layoutItem storage logicFacility review after heavy rainstormImpact of rodents, birds, etc.

Item stock dataCNP-700 data extractData merged & COSIS database createdPrioritization

Item review: Priority 1:– Method of Preservation (MOP 51-55 & DW)– Dollar value ($100K or higher)– Time-in-storage (18 months or greater)

Item review: Priority 2: – Method of Preservation (MOP 41-45 & 32)– Dollar value ($100K or higher)– Time-in-storage (18 months or greater)

Items pulled from stock and set aside for detailed package breakdown and inspection

NAVAIR Lakehurst PilotThe Findings

Results:96% items inspected were not IAW CNP-70078% were not marked IAW MIL-STD-12985% of items requiring desiccant had none35% of items requiring WVP protection had none$943,000: Value of items with obvious damage

Other Findings:Improper protection was largely due to commercial packagingItem degradation on higher shelves is missed when using walk through technique aloneHand-held scanner with CNP-700 data is a time-saverKit packages were difficult to evaluateNon-visible defects are an issue

NAVAIR Lakehurst PilotPreliminary Determinations

Preliminary determinations:Walk-around COSIS inspections are quick and easy, however a more comprehensive approach which uses other inspection factors are better. Many high dollar items degrading in storage would have been missed with walk-around inspections only.Complete package breakdown is necessary to determine item & package condition.Use of standardized inspection sheet/checklist aided inspectionsDetailed recording of data is necessary in order to identify packages for repairDocument with photosItems that are designated for long-term storage should be in controlled facilitiesLack of any COSIS program results in degradation of packagesNeed to expand to facility that has a majority of items military packaged for enhanced evaluation of items packaged to CNP-700.Facility expansion will assist in improving COSIS Guidebook and Inspection Process.

COSIS Pilot ProgramNext Steps

Ready. Resourceful. Responsive!

• Hardware System Command input (next)• Complete the DD Norfolk pilot• NPB deliberation…and feedback• Pause…assess the pilot program findings and results…and NPB feedback …then…• Build the COSIS of the future…for NWCF assets and all Navy material assets in storage

COSIS ProgramChallenges

Ready. Resourceful. Responsive!

• Lack of packaging expertise across the board• Training Gap…impacts new recruits & hires• Lack of universal access to storage sites• Lack of inventory visibility• Stovepipes and firewalls between and within services, agencies, commands and sites• Non integrated data systems • How to support the Integrated Material Manager (IMM) community with COSIS data refined for better inventory management decisions•No automated system for processing DD 1225’s – limits visibility•Verification of performance on funded requests
