Logistics Data Management Tools
Applications, Tools and Reference
Department of Defense (DoD) Logistics data strategy requires all DoD Components to implement data management in ways that provide clear, concise, consistent, and easily accessible metadata that promotes data interoperability across the entire Department. DoD Logistics data management with the DLA Logistics Management Standards Office is implemented at two levels: over-arching corporate Logistics level and the Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS), a subset of the corporate level.
This is the central repository for all Defense Logistics transactional exchanges including DLMS supplements, segments, reference tables, data elements, and data domains (data codes).
These consist of a suite of dictionaries and directories intended to be the central repository for all DLMS related transactional information, and three sets of tables identifying DoD Logistics data domains (data codes) that require conversion to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 data domains (data codes) to prevent rejection by ANSI ASC X12 oriented value added networks.
