Depot level repairable carcass tracking and the Electronic Retrograde Management System

Abstract

The purpose of this Project is to develop a Department of the Navy related case study for use in future Supply Chain Management courses at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA. Pursuant to this objective the Depot Level Repairable program of the U. S. Navy will be studied. The case progresses through a background of the DLR program, the Advanced Traceability and Control (ATAC) system currently in fleet wide use and the improved process being implemented, the Electronic Retrograde Management System (e-RMS). Through a study of the component processes partnered with selected data for analysis the case will highlight several fundamental concepts of supply chain management and provide for both qualitative and quantitative discussion.
