Modernization of Defense Logistics Standard Systems. Establishing the Functional Baseline. Volume 3. Appendix I

Abstract : This report, in three volumes, describes progress in redesigning and transforming the Defense Logistics Standard Systems (DLSS) into the Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS). It also recommends the scope and capabilities that should be incorporated into the DLMS. The existing DLSS formats, codes, and procedures have been utilized in DoD logistics for nearly 30 years and they are deeply embedded within Military Service and Defense agency logistics computer systems. In fact, many of those systems were initially developed and designed to support the operation of the DLSS. It is therefore necessary to document the DLMS in detail so that Service and agency design activities can effectively change their systems to adopt the new approach. To support this effort, Logistics Management Institute (LMI) has produced extensive documentation that defines the DLMS and provides mapping information.
