Description

Item Unique Identification (IUID) technology allows the Dept. of Defense (DOD) to assign a unique number to an item and use that number to manage that item in a variety of logistics processes. In 2003, DOD began implementation of IUID and has estimated that it could improve the accountability and maintenance of its property and equipment and save from $3 billion to $5 billion per year. Also, integrating and sharing unique item identifier (UII) data across DODäó»s enterprise information systems could enable DOD to track equipment as it moves between its components. This report evaluated the extent to which DOD has (1) incorporated key elements of best management practices into its framework for IUID implementation; (2) marked items with IUID labels; and (3) developed the capability to share UII data across DOD in its enterprise information systems. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
