DLA/ DoD Shelf Life Extension System(SLES)

Reengineering Effort

• SLES operated on a 30+ old M-204 mainframe system, difficult and expensive to access, support, update, and maintain

• M-204 system had 2 major components:- Material Quality Control Storage

Standards (MQCSS) for inspections- Quality Status Listing for assets that

have been lab tested and extended or require disposal

• The M-204 Mainframe shutdown in Nov 04

SLESSITE DESIGN

• Supports DOD/DLA Strategic Plan Pillars: Mission Essential, Business Practice Change, Enable, Legal / Regulatory

• Uses Rapid Application Development approach, adhering to DLA full-system development lifecycle (SDLC) protocol

• Complies with all DOD standards• Complies with Section 508 standards• Complies with DoD Policy on Posting Personal

and Personnel information, Security Policies, and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) guidelines

SLES Benefits

• Decrease Inventory Control Point (ICP) input time, increase customer usage, and improve readiness

• Real Time Data• Single database with Web Search, Text and MS-Excel

download • User friendly• Verification of input and system data • Static and ad-hoc reporting capabilities, sort / search

on ALL fields • Historical QSL (Test) results • Customization of data display (layout, queries, etc.)• Label creation and other printing capabilities• Exciting enhancements are still to come !
