United States Army

Summary

The Army is investing in EBS convergence to transform their operational backbone of enterprise business systems, improve their agility and enable readiness, generation, modernization, and direct business-related support, supported by a cross-functional and matrixed organization — aka Project R.E.L.O.A.D. (Readiness Enhancement through Logistics, Operations, and Actions for Defense)

Use Case 1: Contract Procurement and Inventory/Warehouse Management

1. Demonstrate demand forecasts and "What If" analysis: 
   Using actual demand data, facilitate demand forecasts and what-if analyses to generate demand, supply and aggregate plans for end items and dependent demand and supply for subcomponents and packaging.  Demonstrate tools, technologies and methods of enabling leading process best practices of demand sensing and supply chain collaboration.
   
   Define where cognitive enterprise solutions, such as Robotic process automation (RPA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and / or machine learning (ML) may be applied,

2. Demonstrate Budget Activities:
   Ensure availability of budget by budget-address [Appropriation or Revenue (Fund), Funding Organization (Funds Center), Program (Functional Area), Category (commitment item), Project (Funded Program) or Equivalents];
   Funds Availability Checks are performed in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11, Section 150.2.
   Budget controls are not bypassed in Delayed/Disconnected, Intermittently Connected, Low-Bandwidth [DDIL] scenarios

3. Execute material receiving, quality inspection and acceptance, discounts, penalties / interest / administrative fees, and initiate warranty provisions if applicable, Facilitate AIT Integration, Unique/ Serialized Item Tracking and Inventory Storage Optimization

4. Conduct warehouse management w/ munitions-unique inventory requirements (net explosive weight (NEW) and co-storage compatibility confirmation and conflict identification), Facilitate AIT Integration, Unique/ Serialized Item Tracking and Inventory Storage Optimization

5. Facilitate equipment fielding and distribution based on organization / unit's Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE), Table of Distribution and Allowance (TDA), Common Table of Allowances (CTA) authorizations by material type and unit/ activity priority,

Use Case 7: Reimbursable Remanufacturing

1. Enable recapitalization requirement to be initiated by Army General Fund PM to Army Working Capital Fund Depot remanufacturing activity via reimbursable requirement,

2. Establish AWCF reimbursable project for recapitalization requiring materials held in stock, materials for purchase, organic labor and contractor labor,

3. Execute recapitalization program production order by national depot activity; facilitate carcass consumption (e.g., issue material to material, demilitarize some pieces, and associate costs), balance sheet transfers of materials & assets, and subcontracting arrangements,

4. Enable periodic updates on production order process and projected delivery date(s),

5. Accumulate cost of new capability for capitalization as a sub-asset (in association with the main / parent asset); demonstrate how the cost of remanufacturing might have been added to the net book value of an asset to arrive at the depreciable basis of the new asset in a similar reconfiguration scenario (e.g., change from NSN 'A' to NSN 'B'),

6. Demonstrate cost reporting by performing entity (e.g., Army organic materials and labor vs external contractor materials and labor),

7. Conduct AWCF reimbursable billing / progress billing for recapitalization versus distinct coincidental maintenance (categorize by actual material inputs, actual labor hours confirmed, and actual contract services used; support billable rates distinctly for each distinct activity and for each reimbursable agreement and for each fiscal year / period),  

8. Conduct AWCF reimbursable billing / progress billing for recapitalization versus distinct coincidental maintenance (categorize by actual material inputs, actual labor hours confirmed, and actual contract services used; support billable rates distinctly for each distinct activity and for each reimbursable agreement and for each fiscal year / period),
