<p>In response to DOD's ongoing CALS effort, the Joint Engineering Data Management and      Information Control System (JEDMICS) was developed as a repository for technical data at      government sites with the overall intent of improving access to engineering data and drawings.      Although establishment of this system has facilitated the access of government owned,      contractor provided data, the majority of information contained in these repositories is still in      the form of aperture cards and is not always readily accessible to be shared with other      potential users. This thesis will examine the benefits and potential cost savings applicable to the      Navy's CALS program. Specifically, the potential cost savings associated with implementing a      regionalized, shared JEDMICS database between the Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP) North      Island, California, the Naval Air Technical Support Facility (NATSF) in Philadelphia,      Pennsylvania, and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace in Saint Louis, Missouri will be discussed.      The analysis will begin by reviewing the current and anticipated configuration management      requirements for a specific Navy program (F/A-18) using existing information technology. A      proposed consolidation of the same technical data between both government facilities and the      prime contractor using a shared database with subscription based access will then be analyzed      and cost comparisons presented.
