- STATEMENT OF WORK Contract Number: To Be Determined Delivery Order Number: To Be Determined Task Order Number: TBD COR: Name: Organization/Code: NAVSISA Address: P.O. Box 2010, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055-2010 Phone No.: (717) 605- Fax No.: (717) 605- EMAIL: Technical Assistant: Name: TBD Task Order Title: DWMS 1. Background: a. Requiring Organization: The organization requiring the services outlined in the SOW is: Navy Supply Information Systems Activity Code 9322 5450 Carlisle Pike P.O. Box 2010 Mechanicsburg, PA 17055-0787 b. Background. As part of the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Convergence Program, the Navy has selected SAP?s Warehouse Management System (WMS) to manage their warehouse operations. The Navy desires that this single ERP system have processes consistent with the objective of normalizing the four ERP Pilots (NEMAIS, SMART, SIGMA and CABRILLO), which is to converge logistics business processes for the entire Navy. The role of the converged WMS will be to normalize the Navy?s warehousing business processes on a global basis. The Navy ERP system will be rolled out to select sites within a couple of years. NAVSUP would like to implement Decentralized Warehouse Management System at our NAVSUP partner sites at least a year in advance of when Global Template (GT) 2.0 (which includes the functionality required to run at a Partner Site) is rolled out, allowing the early shutdown of the applications supporting warehouse management, saving the Navy millions in information technology (IT) costs to host and maintain. Additionally, it is anticipated that the business process improvements resulting from implementing SAP?s best practice warehouse management will save the Navy a substantial amount as well. Today, the 40 Navy Partner sites perform their warehouse management functions for the Navy owned material using several UADPS subsystems/applications (running on both IBM Mainframe and Tandem). These systems collectively communicate warehouse information to and from the IM system. Since these sites are not currently part of the initial rollout of Converged ERP, the Navy would like to replace the legacy warehouse management applications (residing on Tandem) with DWMS. The SAP DWMS module will initially interface with our legacy systems, which will continue to perform the Inventory Management (IM) function. Eventually, the SAP DWMS will interface with the ?main? SAP for the performance of the IM function. Having this piece of the ERP solution already in place prior to the completion of the total ?converged? Navy ERP solution will facilitate and mitigate the risk of implementing the final Navy solution. Implementing DWMS before ERP Convergence will enable a highly visible early ERP success while facilitating and mitigating the risk of the Navy ERP ?final solution?. Additionally, early implementation of SAP DWMS will allow NAVSUP retail partner sites to shut down those U2 applications supporting warehouse management, provide an enhanced and more efficient capability, and provide a significant return on investment (ROI). Additionally, it enables us to move forward by complying with the DOD Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) functionality mandate. Early implementation of SAP DWMS will offer Navy the opportunity to implement efficiency-enhancing technologies and processes in its warehouses, just as the converged ERP implementation will offer the opportunity to implement them for the logistics community as a whole. One of the biggest advantages to implementing DWMS in advance of the ERP Converged system is that it enables the Navy logistics IT community to implement incrementally versus using a ?big bang? approach. Additionally, it is anticipated that implementing SAP DWMS at the NAVSUP partner sites will significantly compress the schedule for implementing the converged centralized ERP by pre-converting the 40 sites. It is also anticipated that once DWMS is installed at all partner sites, groups of National Stock Numbers (NSNs) can be moved globally versus site by site. 2. Scope of Work to be Performed: This SOW solicits contractor support to assist in the development of a cost and schedule estimate to implement DWMS at the 40 Navy Partner Sites. This will be a Fixed Price Labor Hours delivery order and will cover requirements identified to support the efforts. The tasks within the scope of this requirement are as follows: Review DWMS capabilities against the functional requirements of NAVSUP warehouses Review the Gap Analysis (prepared previously) and identify any changes as a result of SAP software enhancements Identify estimated hardware/infrastructure requirements Develop high-level timeline and cost estimate for DWMS implementation Although the deliverable for this SOW is to provide an estimate, it should be noted that the contractor should be aware of the following requirements when putting together the estimate: a. Integrator tasks are to be performed using the Global ASAP Methodology. b. Integrator is to assist NAVISA Project Officer in the development of project planning and strategy to include development of project plans, program standards and release strategy. c. Estimate is to address the cost and timeline to implement DWMS at an initial Navy Partner site, and address costs to implement at the other sites. d. Contractor shall assist in the development of an Implementation Plan detailing the high level tasks required to design, build, test and implement DWMS. e. The contractor will be required to submit bi-weekly status reports, participate in conference calls, attend IPRs, and other meetings, as required. f. DWMS is to be worked in close conjunction with the Navy ERP project and close integration of business processes and sharing of data and resources are required. g. The contractor shall be responsible for leading the definition and design of WM related interfaces, conversions and extensions and forms and while providing oversight and mentoring to Government personnel. h. The contractor shall provide technical expertise and assume a lead role in the development and use of webMethods. i. The contractor shall work with Government personnel to identify the warehouse requirements that can be supported through the use of AIT and design, build and test the AIT technologies and associated interfaces, enhancements and modifications. j. The contractor shall be required to perform a site survey at the Pilot site to perform an analysis of current business practices. k. The contractor shall support the Navy in the development of training materials. It should be noted that the decentralized Warehouse Management Team will be comprised of both Government and contractor personnel. It is envisioned that there will be Co-Leads in all phases of the project. 3. Definitions of Terms and Abbreviations.
