What is the Purpose of

Codification?

• To establish a common supply language throughout all logistic operations • To enable interoperability

• To optimize resource management by minimizing

duplication in inventories and allowing common management

Codification in Logistics

NSN Statistics

About 17 million NATO Stock Numbers have been

assigned

• 34 million reference numbers have been registered

on these NSNs

• More than 2 million suppliers and other

organizations are registered

• 10 million NSNs with characteristics data display

Those NSNs contain more than 26 million user

registrations

Benefits of the NCS

for Governments

• A recent study by LSC Group concluded that the

prevention of inventory growth alone created by

the NCS justifies its total cost

• The study also identified these other benefits:

• Reduction in warehousing costs

• Lower prices paid per item through purchasing

larger, consolidated volumes of items

• Shorter re-supply times

• Ability for different nations to share supply

chains and inventory


11

Benefits of the NCS

for Suppliers

•Gives visibility to suppliers’ products in an

electronic catalog used in acquisition and

logistics by 64 nations around the world

•Allows suppliers to find out what nations

around the world are buying and what their

competitors are selling to governments

•With 34 million part numbers, the NCS is a

great place to search for parts

Improving Data Quality Through

ISO Standards 22745 and 8000


• ISO 22745: A standard for defining and exchanging

master data based on the NCS

• ISO 8000: A standard for defining and measuring

data quality

• ISO 22745 and 8000 have been developed by

AC/135, ECCMA, and many industry and

government partners within ISO Technical

Committee 184/Subcommittee 4

ISO Standards for

Codification


Aims and Objectives

NATO Allied Committee 135 engaged with ISO and other

standards organizations for the following reasons:

• To automate the codification process

• To improve the quality and availability of data

• To help align the NCS with international standards

• To increase cooperation with industry

The Supplier Sourced Codification

Project


22

•AC/135 has undertaken a series of projects

called Supplier Sourced Codification (SSC)

•Meant to gauge costs and benefits of adopting

22745 and 8000

• SSC partners:

•Patria AMV

•BAE Industries

•Rockwell Automation

•ECCMA

•PiLog

•LSC Group

Codification (SSC)


• SSC4 involved BAE Global Combat Systems

(GCS) and spares support for the aircraft carrier

Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC)

• The National Codification Bureau of United

Kingdom took the lead

• Goal was to test concept of fully automated

product data exchange between different

ontologies and different information systems:

NCS and BAE GCS

• A further goal was to measure productivity and

data quality gains

SSC Phase IV


• Steps in the project:

• Creation of a NATO Preferred Ontology in the

eOTD Master Data Ontology Manager (MDOM)

• Mapping of the NPO to the BAE GCS PDM

• Generation of qXML queries into the BAE GCS

PDM and replies in rXML

• Preparation of a report and statistical tables

• In addition to BAE GCS and AC/135, ECCMA,

PiLog, ESG, AURA, and Logica were involved

Mapping NCS Ontology

to BAE Ontology

From NCB United Kingdom

• Greatly reduced time needed to fully describe

items: 10 minutes using SSC as compared to 50

minutes for manual codification

• Greatly increased data quality: 72% fully

described NSNs vs. 17% for traditional

codification

• Elimination of human error that inevitably occurs

with manual codification

Results from SSC Phase IV


From BAE GCS

• Cost to introduce an item into their Product Data

Management Tool: £3000

• About 80,000 spares are projected for QEC

• As many as half those spares may already have

NSNs with descriptive data

• Potential savings: £120,000 in reduced engineering

and data costs for the QEC

• Potential savings are even greater for future

projects

How Does SSC Make

Codification Faster?

• AC/135 is considering the best way to leverage

the results of the SSC projects and move

implementation of ISO standards 22745 and

8000 into production

• The committee would be glad to partner with

other government contractors for SSC—just let

us know

• AC/135 is also considering an offer to partner

with eCl@ss on a pilot project

The Way Ahead

How to Gain Access to

NCS Data

• Suppliers and government customers can

access NCS data by subscribing to the NATO

Master Catalogue of References for Logistics

(NMCRL)

•Online and DVD versions are available
