COMDT COGARD WASHINGTON DC R 081955Z FEB 07ALCOAST 069/07 B. COMDT COGARD WASHINGTON DC 071803Z NOV 06/ALCOAST 539/06 1. THIS MESSAGE PROVIDES THE STATUS OF THE FY-07 ICCP. 2. STATUS: ICCP WILL ENGAGE ALL OM AND S REPORTING UNITS ANNUALLY. ICCP METRICS CAN BE VIEWED BY NAVIGATING ON THE WEB TO USCG CENTRAL AND CLICKING ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES, THEN LOGISTICS TRANSFORMATION, THEN INVENTORY CONTROL AND COMPLIANCE PROGRAM. BELOW IS A SNAPSHOT AS OF 30 AUG 07: TOTAL UNITS: 683 UNITS WITH A FUTURE START DATE: 208 UNITS IN PROGRESS: 152 UNITS COMPLETE WITH PROCESS: 323 UNITS LATE (TOTAL): 59 PERCENT OF UNITS IN PROCESS: 22 PERCENT PERCENT COMPLETED UNITS: 47 PERCENT 3. LATE UNITS: MLCS ARE THE POCS FOR QUESTIONS AND ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FOR MEETING COMPLETION DEADLINES. LISTS OF LATE UNITS WILL BE REPORTED OUT TO THE AREA AND DISTRICT COMMANDERS ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR ACTION. SEE PARAGRAPH 11 FOR MLC POCS. 4. AOCR: REF A ANNOUNCED THE ANNUALIZED OM AND S CONSUMPTION REPORT (AOCR). THIS MESSAGE ANNOUNCES ITS RELEASE. THE AOCR IS A PRODUCT OF THE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON DATA PRODUCED BY DISCIPLINED PROCESSES WITHIN OUR LOGISTICS SYSTEMS. 5. WITH CURRENT ALLOWANCE LISTS SUSPENDED PER REF B, THE AOCR AND THE GUIDANCE GIVEN IN REF A TO PROCURE ONLY THOSE ITEMS REQUIRED TO PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS REMAIN IN EFFECT. CG-4 HAS PUBLISHED THE FIRST UPDATE TO THE UNIT-SPECIFIC AOCR WHICH IDENTIFIES ON-BOARD OM AND S BASED ON HISTORICAL, ANNUALIZED USAGE RATES. THE CUTTER AOCR IS ALSO ADJUSTED FOR CLASS-WIDE USAGE. USE THE AOCR AS A GUIDE IN PROCURING ONLY WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN ENOUGH SUPPLIES FOR ONE YEAR. 6. THE AOCR IS NOT DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE SAME LEVEL OF INFORMATION AS OUR OLD ALLOWANCE LISTS. THOSE LISTS WERE BASED ON DATA THAT WAS NOT KEPT CURRENT UNDER LEGACY SYSTEMS. THIS SHORTCOMING HAS HAD FAR-REACHING EFFECTS AND WILL BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF LOGISTICS TRANSFORMATION. IN THE MEANTIME, THE AOCR IS AN INTERIM STEP THAT UTILIZES UNIT-LEVEL DATA TO GUIDE UNIT-LEVEL SUPPLY DECISIONS. 7. THE ACCURACY OF THE AOCR WILL ONLY INCREASE TO THE EXTENT THAT OM AND S REPORTING UNITS PROPERLY ISSUE AND RECEIPT FOR MATERIAL WITHIN THE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT PORTIONS OF THEIR LOGISTICS SOFTWARE. CURRENTLY THIS MEANS CMPLUS OR TAIT. AS LOGISTICS TRANSFORMATION PROGRESSES AND DELIVERS MORE MODERN TOOLS, THE REQUIREMENT TO PROPERLY ISSUE AND RECEIPT FOR MATERIAL WILL REMAIN. 8. RIGOR IN THE AREA OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT IS ALSO CRUCIAL IN OUR EFFORT TO ACHIEVE CFO COMPLIANCE. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT COMMANDING OFFICERS AND OFFICERS IN CHARGE CONTINUE TO ENSURE EACH UNIT DILIGENTLY RECORDS MATERIAL RECEIPTS AND ISSUES IN THE UNITS INVENTORY SYSTEM. 9. THE AOCR FOR EACH UNIT CAN BE FOUND AT HTTP://ICCP.ELCBALT.USCG.MIL/AOCR.ASPX. 10. FUTURE ICCP UPDATES WILL BE ISSUED AS A SUBSET OF LOGISTICS TRANSFORMATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE WITH DILIGENT ADHERENCE TO THE PROCEDURES AND PROCESS OUTLINED ON THE ICCP HOME PAGE AT HTTP://ICCP.ELCBALT.USCG.MIL/. 11.
