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/.
