Background
This memorandum established policies for the
total elimination of the MILS, formerly known
as the Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS).
2005 - OSD ATL continues to support DLMS
migration - LMR recommended another memo -
Meeting with Mr. Paul Brinkley (BTA) - Quad
Chart requested for proposed Jump Start
program - Priority Transactions
identified 2006 - Jump Start Program Management
Plan (PMP) developed and approved -
Announcement Memo July 24 06 meetings with BTA

Why is DLMS Migration Important?

• MILs formats have become a serious constraint on
  business processes
• 40 year old technology
• Fixed Length
• Hidden data content
• Embedded data content
• Non-compliant date format
• Redundant data perpetuated
• DoD requires an information exchange process that
  will support Business Transformation initiatives.
  DLMS addresses all the above and more

Multiple Work-Arounds Across
the DoD Logistics Enterprise

DLMS Jump Start Concept

• Encourages DLMS migration (X12 or XML) by
  providing jump start funding incentives ( from
  BTA)
• Phased, coordinated implementation of current and
  future high priority (e.g., RFID, IUID)
  transactions
• Supports OSD Business Transformation priorities
• Provides near term process improvements
• Gives Components experience in implementing the
  DLMS

DLMS Migration Impact

• The DLMS incorporates new and expanded data
  content supporting process enhancements
  requested by the Components.
• Business Transformation initiatives are enabled
  by DLMS in the use and exchange of data rich
  information formats such as
• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology
• Item Unique Identification (IUID)
• The DLMS supports new and innovative practices
  that require a quicker response to data needs in
  programs such as
• Performance Based Logistics (PBL)
• Prime Vendor
• Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS)
• Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV)

DLMS Jump Start Highlights

• Program Highlights
• Provides seed funds (from BTA) for DLMS
  migration implementation ERP implementation
  focus
• Provides phased implementation support
  strategy
• Phase I Transactions supporting RFID IUID
  receiving processes
• Phase II Transactions supporting SFIS and
  additional IUID functionality
• Phase III Balance of DLMS transactions
• Migrations already underway DSS, BSM, Army LMP.

8
Jump Start Program Metric

• Percentage of all MILS and DLMS transactions
  processed IN and OUT of DAASC
• 16.4 million DLMS processed in April, and 24.5
  million DLMS processed in September
• DSS and BSM migrations are contributing to the
  goal

Projected goal of 25 DLMS by Dec 2006
