DMSMS Knowledge Sharing Portal

An overview of targeted interactions between parts and DMSMS managements, June 2019.

This instruction provides additional guidance relating to Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) implementing the DoD and Department of the Air Force (DAF) policy on obsolescence management for sustainment or improvements of all weapon systems and end items currently in the AF inventory.

This volume establishes processes and procedures for the Military Departments and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to report their materiel management information to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Logistics (DASD(Logistics) and procedures for DoD Components to develop and report supply chain metrics.

The Semiconductor Industry Association, SIA, is the voice of the U.S. semiconductor industry, America's number-one export industry over the last five years and a bellwether measurement of the U.S. economy. Semiconductor innovations form the foundation for America's $1.1 trillion technology industry affecting a U.S. workforce of nearly 6 million. Founded in 1977 by five microelectronics pioneers, SIA unites over 60 companies that account for 80 percent of the semiconductor production of this country. The SIA seeks to strengthen U.S. leadership of semiconductor design and manufacturing by working with Congress, the Administration and other key industry groups. The SIA works to encourage policies and regulations that fuel innovation, propel business and drive international competition in order to maintain a thriving semiconductor industry in the United States.  SIA Goal A  robust semiconductor industry is the only way to ensure that America remains the global technology leader. The Semiconductor Industry Association is dedicated to supporting and fostering this goal through outreach to members of Congress, their staff, executive branch officials, foreign governments, member companies and trade associations. SIA Fast Facts Semiconductors are in everything from computers and smart phones to medical devices and LED lights. They are making the world around us smarter and more efficient. They are also economically vital to the Nation. In 2010, U.S. semiconductor companies generated $144 Billion in sales. U.S. semiconductor companies represent nearly half the worldwide market. Semiconductors are the Nation’s largest export. The industry directly employs over 180,000 workers in the U.S. 6 million American jobs are made possible by the semiconductor industry.

Updates to cost tables to accommodate FY24 inflation factors. Cost avoidance is calculated by subtracting the cost of the implemented resolution of the proactively found DMSMS issue from the cost of the most likely resolution that would be implemented if the issue had not been found proactively.

Establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and prescribes procedures for diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) management. Implements risk-based, proactive DMSMS management for all DoD materiel, parts, equipment, assemblies, components, material, and software, referred to in this issuance as “DoD items,” throughout the life cycle.

The Parts & Material Life Cycle Management Credential brings together 13 on-line training (OLT) courses and supporting resources to offer a comprehensive overview of DoD parts and material life cycle management. It is designed to provide learners an overarching understanding of the life cycle logistician’s responsibilities for planning, developing, and implementing all aspects of Parts and Material Life Cycle Management to include: Diminishing Manufacturing Source and Material Shortages (DMSMS), Root Cause Analysis, Supportability Analysis, Cybersecurity, and Additive Manufacturing. A credential scenario fill the gaps between the competencies aligned to Sustainment Engineering and the courses. A summative examination must be completed to demonstrate learning.

The purpose of this guidebook is to assist DoD program offices in preparing DMSMS provisions in contracts by providing representative contract language for various aspects of DMSMS management, depending on circumstances, such as the acquisition phase in which the program resides and its DMSMS management goals.
