GCSS-MC is Oracle-based ERP system that currently provides the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with a robust and flexible logistics capability through a deployable, single point of entry for all logistics needs. GCSS-MC is the replacement for age-old USMC legacy systems including but not limited to SASSY(Supported Activities Supply System), MIMMS(Marine Corps Integrated Maintenance Management System), ATLASS (Asset Tracking Logistics and Supply System). Imperative performance objectives include increased logistics response and reduction in customer wait time.
Skylon provided functional and technical expertise to the system integrator (Oracle) by supporting the analysis and specification for interfaces within the Oracle 11i E-Business Suite environment, focusing on business rules, data models for integration, conversions and synchronizations, business portfolio, and SOA standards for interfacing with legacy subsystems.
Item Unique Identification (IUID)
Designed and orchestrated a series of RICE (Report, Interface, Conversion and Extension work products) objects to implement Item Unique Identification (IUID) capability in accordance with DoD Instruction 8320.04, related to Item Unique Identification Standards for Tangible Personal Property and Marine Corps Order 4000.51B on Automated Identification Technology.
The IUID Solution Architecture consited of:
 A conversion of the Marine Corps legacy IUID marked items from the Temporary Data Store (TDS) system.
Near real time web services with the DoD IUID Registry system to verify the registration of Unique Item Identifier (UII).
An SFTP based interface which allows the Marine Corps to provide updates to the IUID Registry system.
User friendly portal for IUID capability management using Oracle APEX technologies.
Integration of IUID into the procurement, Inventory and Warehouse Asset Management processes.
Warehouse Management System (WMS)
Used knowledge of the Oracle eBusiness Suite iProcurement and Order Management modules to help re-engineer business processes and information and services sharing between the Global Combat Support System- Marine Corps (GCSS-MC) and the Marine Corps retail storage facilities managed by Storage Retrieval Automated Tracking Integrated System (STRATIS).
Supported a successful pilot project for system migration from the legacy Storage Retrieval Automated Tracking Integrated System (STRATIS) to Oracle 11i E-business Suite (EBS) Warehouse Management System (WMS) with the adoption of Mobile Suite Chain of Applications (MSCA) as well as Automated Identification Technologies (AIT).
