DLA Distribution is a member of the Information Operations Panel (IOP) initiative and has established policies and procedures for DSS changes which encompass the nine steps of the DLA Collaborative Configuration Management Plan (CI#: DLA-CCMP-Version 2.0).

DLA Distribution DSS CM Plan presents a methodology by which Configuration Management (CM) is maintained throughout the development life cycle for Distribution Standard System.

DLA Distribution contributes to the collaborative effort by posting all IT initiatives that might interest other agencies to the Collaborative CM Web page.

Computer Access to DSS Inquiry Screens

Access to DSS will allow the customer to inquire shipment status, review carrier manifest, check for multi-pack, determine who the carrier is, check for stock, review the NSN history, check receipts, check MRO history, check CCP receipts, shipments and history, etc.

Requesting DSS access: Every individual who wishes to access DSS will have to submit a new System Access Authorization Request (SAAR) through AMPS . In AMPS they will be requesting the Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) User Role needed to perform their job.

 

Distribution Planning and Management System (DPMS)

Mission:

DPMS is a Modern Distribution Planning and Management System within DLA that enables the DLA/DLA Distribution to better manage the movement of products from vendors and distribution centers to customers as well as reverse logistics, resulting in greater coordination, visibility and stock positioning. DPMS is a vital, robust DSS enhancement system, which will allow DLA to provide greater flexibility in the movement of their products, to all customers, with added support to our soldiers worldwide.

The Importance of DPMS to DLA:

  • In-transit visibility of vendor shipments to Customers and DLA Distribution Centers
  • Provide standard documentation such as 2nd 2 D bar-coded Military Shipping Labels (MSLs), Bills of Lading, and export documentation that will expedite movement to customers
  • Document carrier performance and delivery to customers
  • Allow DLA to delay stock positioning decisions until time of movement to reduce double handling and multiple moves
  • Provide real-time access for all addresses including Ships, FMS, and Mobile Units.
  • Provide rapid payment to commercial carriers and document transportation costs through interface with Power Track
  • Lower DLA transportation costs by optimizing shipments and using greater consolidation through cross docking, multiple pick-up, and multiple drop-offs

Logistics Planning and Contingency Operations

  • Deployable Distribution
  • Contingency DLA Distribution Contracts
  • Skilled Workforce
  • Flexible Surge Support
  • DLA DSS Material Tracker - The DLA Distribution Standard System (DSS) Material Tracker allows the user to enter a requisition number and obtain the current status of previously processed requisitions
