Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / Each inventory manager at the Aviation Supply Office Philadelphia, PA is presently
required to manage approximately 700 line items. To allow the inventory manager a
more efficient method of reviewing and using the data and reports from the Uniform
Inventory Control Point (UICP) computer system, a distributed computer system is
necessary. By downloading the the appropriate inventory data from UICP to a local
computer system, a decision support system (DSS) can be be implemented using existing
off the shelf hardware and software. The ability to replace the present copious paper
reports with concise computerized information and import that data into electronic
spreadsheets for further analysis can greatly improve the inventory manager's
effectiveness. To this end, this thesis provides inventory managers at ASO with access
to the following functions:
Interactive access to the main UICP database.
The ability to use UICP data with a decision support system.
A user interface that is easy to understand and learn.
A local data base which supports working group requirements.
Basic office automation.
This thesis will cover the selection of the hardware and software, data identification
and management and DSS development. A prototype system called the IM Workstation
was developed for this thesis and used to produce the thesis document. COBOL and
ALIS ELF macro program listings are provided. / http://archive.org/details/inventorymanager00mare / Lieutenant, United States Navy
