TACOM provides support across the life cycles of major
end items, which are the critical systems that enable the Army to perform its missions.
COEI and BII are considered part of the
end item. An
end item is not complete if it is missing these items.
* Other separate deliverables that accompany an
end item when it is procured (such as manuals and technical documents)
When the military equipment is delivered in its final form, the value of the
end item and each item type delivered and billed with the
end item (for example, spares of support equipment) will be determined based on (derived from) the separately priced item types in the contract.
A user can determine all of the support items for an
end item, or he can determine all of the
end items associated with a specific support item.
The primary output of the MRP process is the materials plan, which is simply a time-phased schedule of order releases for each component needed in the
end item. Table 3 presents a materials plan for the chair example and shows the lead-time offsets for the various components with shading.
Rates are established for
end items and components, and the supply chain builds to those rates.
The second criticism is more severe since it claims that DCI fails to consider the total component usage (calculated by multiplying all parent quantities per assembly by the
end item demand).
This capability will be complemented by GCSS-Army's ZBOMADD functionality, which will allow users to maintain a list of components that are associated with an
end item or an individual piece of equipment as a supplement to the components listed in the ADS BOM.
Dear Half-Mast, What's the right way to account for Class 7, nonexpendable items that are components of
end items (COEIs)?
* Components of
End Item (COEI) are part of the
end item, but are removed and packed separately for transportation or shipment.
