It is acceptable to bring it under that MPN:NCAGE as it is the same material in the system. Material isn't tracked by the NSN or MPN:NCAGE in the system. Those are just outward facing numbers that could be anything. Material in the system in reality pre & post MI is tracked by the Internal...

Space leased to industry to unspool and lay flat and/or storage. Been there in some form for 15+ years. EPS also used the runway for their driving courses

They are probably missing that little booklet where you are supposed to annotate when you take stuff out of them! If they had that people would tots fill it out and staff would tots read and refill them In a strangely related nerd supply story, you know shit went down when a certain base...

I don't think you understand that the MPN:CAGE from 06 Dec post MI rollout is the exact same record in the system from 15 Nov pre-MI rollout nor do I think the entities understand that either...they just rather bleat the sky is falling (believe me I sit in meetings where everything is the end of...

It totally is and Mods feel free to pull it from the conversation. RCAF generally gets their parts from in-service support models vice from the DSC

The NSN material that is arriving today is the same material that was ordered before MI roll-over just with an MPN:NCAGE vs an NSN. It is still identified by the same NSN (NIIN now). There are no issues in receipting the material except over exaggeration of the issue by various entities. It is...

#thread hijack Sticking with NSNs as the primary attribute is the weird Canadian only thing you derided earlier in the post. By trying to stick to old processes, naming conventions by customizing DRMIS to match previous systems we created an unsustainable monstrosity. MI isn't perfect by any...

Unless it has changed you will be assigned an environment (element) upon enrollment. That environment will drive your initial posting and you will generally remain there for all of your training and initial junior positions. It generally isn't until you are a Capt with a few years under your...

We have circled this one before. The EXPRES test had little correlation to the six Common Military Tasks which are a common standard for all members of the CAF regardless of trade, age or gender. The FORCE test is scientifically correlated to that actual standard unlike the Expres which had...

Agreed, despite the vocal minority naysayers in unprecedented times the steps taken despite it's faults were largely ok. Not great but I am ok with over protection vs none

I get what you are saying and many of those parts never should have shifted from being NSNs. I don't know what happened with the conversion or why it did what it did. We were just as caught off guard from a 3rd line material management perspective as it is the same concern for us in wanting to...

There is something to be said about resourcing our maintenance assets properly. Much of the manning still looks as if we were trying to fix 1960s to '80s vehicles which had the total of like 10 parts and were relatively easy to fix. I don't know if it's still holds true but in recent years out...

Every L1 was GTG with MI, the concept and the way forward, but I get the sense taking to my EMT friends that they were not very well informed. It did lots of good things cleaning our junk pile of 5 million records and putting some rigor when it came to MMR creation that didn't exist before as...

PD is manual period, you can set all the min/max you want but if the material is set on PD in the material master record (MMR) for a MRP/plant then they don't come into effect. You have change the MRP profile setting (usually to ZSZ1 but there are lots of profiles) on the MMR at the MRP or...

We will use AI in 2123 when our robot overlords make us.

Having no min/max set doesn't mean we don't hold stock for any particular item. It just means that automatic system replenishment won't occur if stock is drawn down to zero at a particular location. That system setting is known as planned demand (PD) which means as needed, stock will be ordered...

We don't use a Just In Time delivery model, that would imply a level of sophistication we don't have. We leverage the same model we always have, with parts at each level with scaling. Generally though scaling is ad hoc, locally managed, doesn't follow any recognized model and largely useless.

Just a word of caution about using the G4 Maint VOR Stats from that JCSP paper or any other domestic report on VOR should be taken with a grain of salt. 1) It is a snapshot in time and more importantly 2)domestically there are a ton of reasons why a vehicle is VOR'd where it would just be...

Still there.

Got an email telling me about the breach and a link to 12 months of credit monitoring by Equifax. Was watching credit report anyway through bank as I recently used BGRS for a move. Only took 2+ months for an official comms to individuals :)
