Year 2000 Computing Issues: Defense Logistics Agency - Standard Automated Materiel Management System
The overall audit objective was to evaluate whether DLA was adequately planning for and managing year 2000 risks to avoid undue disruption to its supply mission. This audit, the third in a series on the DLA supply mission, focused on the core DLA supply system, SAMMS specifically, we reviewed year 2000 interface agreements, testing plans, contingency plans, and continuity of operations plans. Additional areas of the DoD Year 2000 Management Plan, December 1998, (DoD Management Plan) that we assessed included contracts finding, information assurance, management oversight and reporting, and prioritization and inventorying of mission critical systems and infrastructure. DLA and its three subordinate supply centers had taken action to ensure that SAMMS would be year 2000 compliant. Actions that DLA took included: (1) the implementation of Y2K contract clauses, (2) the allocation of necessary funds, (3) the implementation of an information assurance program, (4) the establishment of management oversight and reporting, and (5) the prioritization and inventorying of mission critical systems and infrastructure. Additionally, DLA developed contingency and test plans and performed Y2K testing. However, DLA did not fully comply with the requirements of the DoD Management Plan regarding interfaces, test documentation, and milestones. Although DLA did not fully comply with the DoD Management Plan, it subjected SAMMS to intensive testing before certification. Additional testing and the logistics end to end testing would provide further assurance that the DLA core supply mission performed by SAMMS would be year 2000 compliant.
