Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the efficiency
and effectiveness of the Advanced Traceability and Control
System (ATAC) . Prior to the implementation of ATAC, end
users of depot level repairables sent retrograde carcasses
to various organic and commercial facilities for repair and
overhaul. Due to many factors, the depot level carcass
tracking system was unable to prevent the loss or delay of
many retrograde carcass s through the transportation
pipeline. These problems resulted in erroneous charges to
the type commander's operating funds, unnecessary investment
in inventory levels to meet demand, and a possible lessened
fleet readiness due to shortages for critical repair items.
The Navy's solution to this problem is ATAC. The ATAC
program simplifies the retrograde turn-in process while
providing improved traceability and accountability
throughout the return pipeline.
