MMIS’s configuration application allows users to create and maintain manufacturing/application configurations for end items specified in the PBL contract. This application tracks all serialized material removed and replaced from the assembly, maintaining an up-to-date As-Maintained configuration. This module also allows engineering changes to be tied to each configured part, which allows the depot to apply changes authorized on part induction. Salient features include:

As-Built History documentss top/down breakdown by assembly
Searchable by assembly or specific part number
Capability to track changes to As-Built configurations (As-Maintained) during troubleshooting and repair
Integration with Work Flow Traveler and FRACAS systems
Updates performed as information develops
Capability to track changes/Approved configurations

MMIS Configuration Management system is a key module in support of data management. The system allows users to document ECP, deviations, waivers and engineering investigations. The changes can then be tied to Serialized Inventory or As-Maintained records. The MMIS Configuration Management system provides:

Flexible work flow for approvals
Links to As-Maintained and Serialized Inventory for retrofit
Capability to track change requests for:
    Engineering Change Orders (ECO)
    Engineering Change Proposals (ECP)
    Technical Information Review (TIR)

The MMIS Contract Management System allows users to document contracts and contract line items. It also allows contracts to be linked to documents, inventory and repair work flows.

The MMIS Inventory Management system is one of the key modules for PBL support. This provides the PBL manager serialized and nonserialized inventory availability by location. It provides a full view of all material by site, location and shelf/bin as well as its appropriate status (i.e. ready for issue, awaiting parts, in-repair, etc.). This inventory visibility and accountability is used along with field demands and in-process work orders to assist the program manager in determining when and how many items need to be inducted into the repair process to maintain the fill rates required by the PBL contract. Inventory Management:

Tracks serialized and non-serialized inventory by location and contract
Integrates with FRACAS, work flow and EDI requisitions

The MMIS Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action Systems (FRACAS) provide a repository for documenting failures and their analysis. It provides a closed-loop corrective action system, which enables depot and field representatives to collect, quantify, and control incoming incident/failure reports, such as test data, field data, or repair data. MMIS’s FRACAS ensures, through its process, that Ao (Operational Availability) and product quality objectives are met. This allows program managers to meet product readiness and availability in their PBL contract. The MMIS FRACAS:

Tracks field failures
Tracks defects and part removals
Identifies corrective action and trends
Integrates with ABC/AMC and work flow
Calculates MTBF

The MMIS Lessons Learned system allows users to track field failure queries and document the resolutions. Users can then search the knowledge base for solutions.

Task issue and responses
Tie issues to: Documents/System/Facilities/Categories/Impacts

The MMIS Parametric Test Data system allows users to access stored measured and bit test data. The MMIS Parametric Test Data system:

Allows data to be loaded from a test file
Records actual measured values and BIT built-in test results for each LRU test
Allows users to attach “raw” data files to facilitate off-site review
Integrates with work flow and FRACAS
Allows trend analysis over time, SN range history, etc.

MMIS’s workflow allows users to track repair actions (i.e. work orders) through its life cycle. This allows the PBL manager to have visibility of receipt, inventory and repair to completion on each work order. During the repair process the technician can collect failure data that could later be used for investigations to determine decrease in item performance or failure rates, which can lead to an engineering change. The analysis of each work order and failure reported can help maximize the MTBF by implementing engineering changes, which decreases the demand for spares and increases the end item’s Ao. Workflow provides:

Real-time planning and status for each induction as its received, tested, troubleshot and repaired
Integration with other activities
As-Built/As-Maintained Configuration Management
FRACAS
Inventory Status
Government requisition placement and tracking
Government CAV reporting
Workflow to be tailored as testing/troubleshooting progresses
Methods to be linked to workflow

The MMIS document control provides revision control on any type of document (i.e. test procedures, drawings, etc.) and organizes them into folder-like categories. This module allows technicians and engineers to have one portal to all necessary documentation in the repair/upgrade process. Program documents are uploaded and stored online, and access is controlled by user accounts.

MMIS procurement provides a complete system for tracking, purchase orders, and request for quotes. The MMIS Procurement System:

Links inventory and workflow
Creates electronic Request for Quote based on usage
Tracks estimates
Links estimates to purchase requisitions
Tracks receipt of purchase requisition items
