ALMIS

Agenda A little history ALMIS DSS Today ALMIS EAL Today EAL Deployment ALMIS Maintenance Discussion Topics

A Little Background Simple pictures describe why we started:

http://cgweb.arsc.uscg.mil/almis/ppt/almis.ppt Implementing new measures per Apr

1999 OCA/SEA/ARSC MOE review Electronic blue sheet follows definitions

and policies in COMDTINIST 3123.7J Briefed plan to G-OCA Jun 2000 Changed plan based on feedback from

2000 CO's conference Visited every Air Station to sell plan

What – DSS (excerpt from AirSta brief) Phase 1 – Aviation Inventory

Control Point Phase 2 – Reliability Centered

Maintenance Phase 3 – Flight Operations Phase 4 – Finance and Procurement Phase 5 – Unit Maintenance Phase 6 – Depot Supply (Buy

Model) Phase 7 – Depot Maintenance

What – EAL(excerpt from AirSta brief) Phase 1 – Flight Schedule, Event Status,

Aircraft Status, Planned Flt Hrs Phase 2 – Blue Sheet Phase 3 – Yellow / Pink Sheet (and

associated forms) <fleet-wide implementation begins> Phase 4 – MPC and Supply Integration Phase 5 – Online MPC Signoff Phase 6 – ACMS Interface Replacement

ALMIS DSS Today Site map shows quantity and variety of info

in PowerPlay Cubes and Web Reports ALMIS Decision Support System (DSS) DSS

Site Map OCA direction to use all hours generated

new interest in cubes with PFH and event cancellation info

Cubes allow period-to-period comparisons to help understand 9/11 impact on operations

Demonstration

ALMIS EAL Today Provided onsite training at every Air Station Bought computers for every Air Station,

ATTC Working with ATTC and ATC to incorporate

ALMIS into initial and recurrent training Supporting deployed aircraft

“ALMIS was OUTSTANDING underway” Summary of what is in use at:

Demonstration

EAL Deployment Yellow Sheet training next week in Houston Focused on completing pink sheet by end Sep Beta deployment to follow Prior to full deployment of Yellow / Pink sheet

Minimize unscheduled downtime (new back-end server and monitoring in place)

Need 24 x 7 help desk (in progress) Need backup site at OSC (in progress) Agreement from SEA / OCA / WKS that we’ve built

safe system that makes sense to deploy to the fleet

Service

ALMIS Maintenance ARSC CCB process in place Limited resources, unlimited user desires ALMIS used by every pilot, many change

requests coming in Prior to deployment, we filtered many that

were out of scope or not consistent with plan

Time ripe for G-OCA to make needs known Process in place for ad-hoc data requests

Discussion Topics OCA push for PFH data entry? OCA push for use of cancellation,

especially for deployed aircraft? Flight pay audits still needed? Additional reasons for unsuccessful

dispatches? Mandate flt record approval w/i x days

of month end? Designate CCB representative in OCA?

More Discussion Topics User’s suggestion for tracking of all

info on safety message Portable device connectivity? Expanded deployment tracking? “Operation” tracking like AOPS Passenger / cargo tracking

Backup screen grabs follow just in case no connectivity
