Defense Logistics Information Service

Overview of Presentation

• History and scope of the NATO Codification System (NCS)

• The current process of cataloging within the NCS

• Vision for the future of the NCS with eOTD

What Is The Purpose Of NATO Codification?

• To establish a common supply language throughout all logistic operations

• To enable interoperability

• To optimize resource management by minimizing duplication in inventories

What is it?

How long to keep?

Price?

Characteristics?

How to purchase?

How to dispose?

How to order?

How to store?

ANSWER = The NSN and reference related dataThe questions are based on National requirements of

logisticians!!!

Scope of the NCS

• 16 million NATO Stock Numbers have been assigned

– 7 million by the U.S. and 8 million by the other NATO countries

– 31 million reference numbers have been registered on these NSNs

– These NSNs contain more than 22 million user registrations

• 1.5 million manufacturers and other organizations are registered

What is impossible to do right now, but, if you could do it, would fundamentally change your business?

1990 Joel Arthur Barker

• Cataloging at source (vendor supplied data)!

– Common metadata through ISO 22745 • an end to data mapping

– Requirement specifications• an end to incomplete data

– Data quality through ISO 8000• an end to inaccurate information

• Lowers the cost of cataloging and increases long term data reliability!

Vision for the Future

How NATO Will Realize the Vision

• NATO AC/135 is working with ECCMA, a defense company called Patria, and NCS application software providers on a project to apply the principles of eOTD and SSC to a weapons system:

– The weapons system is called the Patria Armoured Modularized Vehicle (AMV)

– The NCS software applications are SICAD Plus, N-CORE, AURA MC Catalogue, and OLCIMS

– The National Codification Bureaus involved are Finland, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States (DLIS)

– National softwares like ADAGIO (France), CENCAT3 (Australia), and ISIS (United Kingdom) may also be included in SSC Phase II

IndustryClassifications

eOTD: Link to Industry Classifications

eOTD is Classification Neutral

Benefits for Government

• Opportunities for improvement of the NATO Codification System through increased industry participation

• Promotes NCS approach as an ISO standard

• Lower cost of cataloging: Reduction of labor hours

• Higher quality data through direct import of manufacturers’ data

Goal: Electronic transfer of descriptive data from our suppliers and manufacturers to NCBs

The ultimate goal has been met: to provide a means of

describing product data through the life cycle of a product,

independent of any particular computer system

Vision of the Future

Integrated Data EnvironmentTowards an Enterprise IDE

AirForce

How else does IDE contribute to asset visibility and overall interoperability?

Vision: the DOD logistics enterprise is executing practices, processes, applications, and decision support in an integrated logistics data environment, thereby achieving logistics data interoperability within a Net Centric Community of Interest (COI).

To Be State – UIIsIntegrated planning view

Questions answered

Today – No UIIsNo integrated planning view

Questions

Requirement: capability to integrate force structure planning for identifying and constituting deployable combined force modules.

• Who is available? • With what

equipment? • Where are they

now? • How long can we

support them?

People, things and property related to force structure.

Deployment and constitution options can be continuously evaluated.

Required items identified, pre-positioned and tracked with RFID.

People and things can be identified to sites and facilities for rapid deployment response.

Unique Identification (UID)Integrated situational awareness of people, places, and things
