AUTOMATED RCM/LSAR DATA INTEGRATION CAPABILITY

XMCO INC, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE RAIL COMPANY, PROPOSES A PHASE I FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER PROGRAM LIKE INTEGRATING NAVAIR AUTOMATED RCM WORKSHEET DATA WITH THE MIL-STD-1388-2A AUTOMATED LOGISTIC SUPPORT ANALYSIS RECORD. STUDY ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED INCLUDE DATA ELEMENT COMPATABILITY BETWEEN AUTOMATED SYSTEM, SUFFICIENCY OF DATA TO SUPPORT REQUIRED ANALYSES, COMMONALITY OF SYSTEM HARDWARE INDENTURE STRUCTURE CODING BETWEEN AUTOMATED DATA SYSTEMS, AND IMPACT OF ONGOING TRISERVICE RCM STANDARDIZATION, MIL-STED-1388-2B, AND CALS. THE STUDY IS APPROACHED THROUGH SIX TASKS THAT WILL: (1) FURTHER DEVELOP COMPUTER LINK FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS; (2) CONDUCT AN INITIAL INVESTIGATION; (3) PRESENT INVESTIGATION RESULTS; (4) DEFINE COMPUTER LINK PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES; (5) PERFORM A FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS; AND (6) PROVIDE A BRIEFING AND A FINAL REPORT. PHASE I STUDY RESULTS WILL DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING THE COMPUTER PROGRAM LINK. SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE STUDY WILL IDENTIFY THE FEASIBLE BEST-CANDIDATE SYSTEM FOR WHICH A PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION WILL BE PREPARED AND INCLUDED IN THE FINAL REPORT AS A FOUNDATION FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORT IN PHASE II.
