SHIP CONFIGURATION AND LOGISTIC SUPPORT INFORMATION SYSTEM (SCLSIS) PROGRAM INITIATIVES

Over the preceding several years there have been numerous initiatives to address problems in the Navy's ship configuration status accounting process. Recent efforts in the Ship Configuration and Logistic Support Information System (SCLSIS) project have begun to integrate the first of several logistic and engineering support processes, which up to this time have developed independently to solve specialised problems. The apparent solution is to establish an integrated global information systems architecture based on a functionally structured and described central database that couples configuration, engineering and logistics data. To accomplish this objective will require all participating Navy communities to change their process to meet the requirements of the global information systems architecture. The realistic achievement of this goal will require the coordinated "phased" development of many unrelated processes and data systems, which today are at various levels of capability. A carefully crafted "phased" development process becomes critical in light of our current austere budget environment. This paper describes how the SCLSIS process is striving to cost-effectively achieve these essential objectives to forge a stronger link between the Navy's engineering and logistic support communities.
