Why have a Material Why have a Material Information SystemInformation System

• To work smarter and faster• Reduces duplication of testing• Electronic notebook• Faster dissemination and

retrieval of data• Stop data loss - Ensures data is available

to next generation• Improved data consistency and quality• Improved work processes and throughput• Accelerates implementation

Data management plans are vital Data management plans are vital to remain relevantto remain relevant

Programmatic Challenges?•Lack of unified directive•Requires investment of resources•Culture•Misinformation

Current Strategy:•Don’t reinvent the wheel-build on existing system to maximize impact. •Build a DoD resource: Material Selection and Analysis Tool (MSAT)

Successful plans use systems engineering approach.

Technical Considerations

Definition of the main function of the system

How the system will fit in with existing systems and workplace practices

Who will use the system, and how

How data flows through the system

What type of information will be handled

How the system will be setup, deployed and maintained

Who is responsible for, and owns, the various system components

Practical ChallengesPractical Challenges

Not every user is an expert

Materials and process data is never complete

Data has value – access control is critical (and potentially contentious)

It takes time to rationalize and consolidate data

Diverse end-users need data in diverse places and formats

Materials information systems need end-users

Designing a system from scratch is impractical
