Using PowerLOG-J for Two Level Maintenance (TLM) and Logistics Management Information (LMI) System for TACOM LCMC Managed Equipment Bill Fuller, C.P.L. Camber Corporation 15 May 2007
Agenda • TLM / LMI Overview • Techniques • Summary PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Purpose of TACOM LCMC TLM/LMI Project • Establish a Standardized LMI System that supports TLM implementation • Establish a uniform process within TACOM LCMC for developing Logistics Products • Integrate with CCSS • MAC • MARC • BOIPFD • RPSTL • Two Level Technical Publications • Train the TACOM LCMC Practitioners • Align with DA TLM Initiatives Establish & Sustain a Seamless LMI System PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Some of the Challenges • Integrate existing logistics data from multiple independent sources into an LMI System • PMR • Technical Manuals • Task Frequency • Document Processes to Sustain the LMI system It Hasn’t Been Done Before PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
TLM / LMI Program Overview Sustain System Develop TLM Processes and Procedures Update System Recom-mend Systems Identify Available Systems Identify Data Require-ments Select System Stand Up System PowerLOG-J Selected Update Logistics Support Package Update LMI Baseline to TLM Establish LMI Baseline Documented Detailed Processes Essential PowerLOG Users Group May 2007

Test the Processes with Pilots • Heavy Combat PSID – Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) • Tactical Vehicle PSID – Semitrailer, 70T, M1000, ASV • Deploy PSID – 4K Fork Lift • Weapons PSID – Rifle, 5.56MM M4 • Field Artillery PSID – Howitzer Medium Self Propelled M109A6 • Tools PSID – Forward Repair System (FRS) • Chem/Bio Defense PSID – M58 Smoke Generator • Light Combat PSID – Fire SPT TM Vehicle BFIST • Soldier PSID – Containerized Field Kitchen PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Pilots In Progress • Pilot projects are nearing the Initial Baseline completed milestone • Every Pilot LIN has been different in some aspect affecting KEY data elements such as PCCN, PLISN, LCN, FGC in a fundamental manner • Many PCCNs contain multiple LINs with and/or without PCCN • Every LIN has displayed some or all of the seven deadly sins Pilot LMIS Are Expected to be Complete in Late June PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
LMI System Government Sustained • TACOM LCMC Network • Two Environments • Development • Production • 500 GB Expandable • TACOM LCMC Portal • Ad Hoc Team Environment • Share Point Information Will Be Government Owned PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Logistics Product Update Issues • CCSS and PowerLOG-J synchronization • Recurring PTD Cycles • RPSTLs • CCSS or PowerLOG-J • Technical Publications • EMS Next Gen Seamless Integration PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Update Logistics Support Packages Packaging (LSAR-025) Facilities (LSAR-012) Update PPL (LSAR-036) Update MAC (LSAR- 004) LMI SYSTEMPowerLOG-J Update RPSTL (LSAR-030) Report to Update BOIP Report To Update MARC (LSAR- 001) ETM/IETM NMWR Manuals (Update) PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Some Techniques • Data Cleansing • Army Edits • Batch Load Templates • EZ MAC • Dealing with Legacy Problems PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
Load Data into PowerLOG – • Assign LCN • PowerLOG can estimate where to assign orphaned PLISNs that are missing parents during import. It does this by analyzing the NHA, NHA IC, UOC, and indenture code, and assigning a Logistics Support Analysis Control Number (LCN) to each PLISN. The LCNs serves as the key data element within powerLOG to identify a product hierarchy. • Run PowerLOG Edits Cleanse Data Identified by Error List PowerLOG reports, utilities, and its user interface augment the powerLOG edit routines to assist in data cleansing Run PowerLOG Army Edits Cleanse Data Identified by Error List • Use Filters, Reports, PLISN View, and Utilities • Generate LSA-036 Report For Load into LMP Data Cleansing Process PowerLOG Users Group May 2007

EZ-MAC PROCESS Quality Review Quality Review INPUTS PowerLOG-J v1.5.1 loaded on the C:\ Drive and/or Server EZ-MAC application loaded on the C:\Drive and/or Server Current MAC (either in print or electronic) ENTER DATA to the 3 EZ-MAC worksheets (ezmac_ground.xls) REVIEW the MAC IMPORT A MAC 2361 to Power-LOG-J RUN the MAC EXPORT DATA to an .xmlfile COPY the templates to the LIN MAC Folder ERRORS REVISE the ezmac_ground.xls NO ERRORS RENAME REPORTS AND PLACE IN FILE PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Inputs PowerLOG-J v1.5.1 loaded on your C:\ Drive or server. EZ-MAC does not work on any lower version. A printed or electronic copy of your MAC. EZ MAC loaded on your C:\Drive or server. EZ MAC has two files – ez-mac_ground.xls and mac2.xsl – that you will need to copy and paste into your LIN folder. PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Enter the Data THE EZ-MAC TEMPLATE – Three Worksheets: mac, tools, and remarks PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
2.0 REPLACE EZ-MAC PROCESS – Enter the Data THE EZ-MAC TEMPLATE – The MAC Worksheet DO NOT rename the file. 2-digit Group Code heading. Will list as an error when importing. Ignore the error message – code will still import. Formatting Example: “0100” FGC has 3 separate task headings: Engine Assembly, Engine Mounts, and Lifting Brackets. Within the Engine Mounts and Lifting Brackets categories, several task lines appear. Note how the sequencing (-xx) and the Component/ Assembly column is input. Enter times un- der the appro-priate mainte-nance level. Enter the Function language accepted, per MIL STD 40051. PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Enter the Data THE EZ-MAC TEMPLATE – The TOOLS Worksheet If more than 13 digits, the NSN will error out. Cells cannot be blank in this column; Use zeros as the default placeholder for missing NSNs. Do not wrap text in the Nomenclature column (Do not reformat any of the columns on any of the sheets.) PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Enter the Data THE EZ-MAC TEMPLATE – The REMARKS Worksheet PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Export the Data • Select Export MACWP • Select the Work Package Maintenance Level (as of this publication, select anything, per LOGSA; result will be the same). • Enter your Publication #, per the instruction. • Note the location of your file, read the Notes & Limitations, and click Okay. • Close the Excel file. You will get no notice that the file has exported. PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Import the MAC Select Import | 2361 MAC and open the file. PowerLOG Users Group May 2007
EZ-MAC PROCESS – Import the MAC into PowerLOG-J • An .html Error Report will open. The errors are grouped according to subject, and the Table of Contents displays hyperlinks to the groups. • Some common errors are listed here. • When you close the file, the files saves to the location of your MAC report • Correct your errors, either record-by-record within PowerLOG-J or in the EZ-MAC Excel file and import again (recommended)..
