 Presentation
Enterprise Resource Planning
Architecture within the US Air Force
Today the military experiences islands of loosely integrated capabilities,
limited real-time control, little strategic focus, significant process segregation,
reactive management and are still considerably paper and data intense. There
is a desire to drive the military to a network-centric model that focuses on
dynamic command and control systems, a collaborative planning process with
an enterprise view, the ability to anticipate situations and to provide extensive
business intelligent services. The overall goal is to improve war fighter capability
by transforming business processes and leveraging today’s IT technology
and processes.
As a result the key near term objectives include the availability
of real time modernized information systems, applying best commercial practices,
utilize commercial off the shelf solutions, increase military equipment availability
by 20+% and reduce annual O&S cost by 10+%. This particular presentation
will focus on advanced Enterprise Resource Planning architectures that include
the following functional areas; advanced planning and scheduling, material
management. Configuration and bill of material, repair and maintenance, customer
relationship management, decision support, quality control and document management.
The architectural perspective for this work is driven from
the commander’s
view. A military commander’s perspective will demand clear asset visibility,
transportation visibility, increased insight into wholesale and retail processes
and effective decision making. Realizing such a perspective will require advanced
design in developing ERP business architectures, ERP application architectures
and ERP Technical architectures.
This presentation will describe a process
and identify key architectural artifacts that are vital in trying to ensure
successful ERP implementations.
