Pilot Successes

Navy ERP Pilot Program Scope and Impacts
The four Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) pilot programs began implementing their ERP solutions between July 2001 and January 2003. SMART, SIGMA and CABRILLO have completed their pilot implementations. NEMAIS is currently continuing to deploy its production system, and is expected to complete deployment by October 2004. The following table describes the scope of the Navy ERP pilots and their accomplishments(impacts):

What the Pilots Proved
ERP can be used to:

• Operate and manage a major Echelon 2 acquisition command and Echelon 3 subordinate commands (Project Systems, Workforce Management, Financial Management, Procurement).

• Integrate Maintenance and Supply in performance of aviation and ship maintenance, provide visibility of resources across activities, and optimize supply chain management.

• Validate compliance with the Chief Financial Officer's (CFO) Act and provide significant reductions in legacy information technology and data base systems with resultant cost reductions and data quality / timeliness benefits.
