Abstract :
The authors discuss an automated data processing (ADP) system, the modernized parts control automated support system (MPCASS), and how it assists in accomplishing the US Department of Defense parts control program. MPCASS is an online system which automates many manual processes, operates in near real time, and can virtually become paperless. MPCASS can be used to access many files for information. The focus is on background, system description and operation, benefits, status, and operational experience
