Why have a Material
Information 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 to remain relevant
Successful plans use systems engineering approach.
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)

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
UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
Practical 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
