Abstract: The Marine Corps has successfully implemented their first Automated Information System (AIS) modeled after AIS commercial best practices. To accomplish this we utilized the Marine Corps Common Hardware Suite (MCHS) with a customized Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software package designed for synergistic laboratory management. To meet the challenge of reduced manpower coupled with the loss of experience and corporate knowledge this robust system was forged to enhance mission driven requirements and readiness postures. Marine Forces Ground calibration workload requirements include a pool of 165,000 items, with only 45 man-years of workforce available. One key implementation goal of this AIS is to dramatically increase productivity. Another key goal is the implementation of a comprehensive quality program. The Marine Corps has adopted the American National Standard for Calibration (ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994) as the primary basis for criteria to ensure Marine Corps Calibration Laboratories are capable of performing required calibration measurements. Utilizing this AIS, quality training, personnel commitment, and a continuous improvement philosophy, to prepare all calibration laboratories for accreditation audits by the end of 2000.
