scope:

This standard describes the shipbuilding or overhauling contractor's functions, responsibilities, and requirements applicable to the Real-Time Outfitting Management Information System (ROMIS). These responsibilities apply to new construction, conversion, modernization, reqctivation and overhaul or other availability contracts. An availability contract can be a Complex Overhaul, Regular Overhaul, Selected Restricted Availability, Extended Dry Docking Selected Restricted Availability, or Phased Maintenance Availability. It describes ROMIS in terms of its data input and output requirements. It specifies the range of ROMIS inputs required by the contractor.

The purpose of this military standard is to standardize contractor-related ROMIS procedures and to define contractor ROMIS data generation responsibilities.

ROMIS is a Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) real-time Automated Information System that is used for defining the requirements for recording, monitoring, and displaying configuration development and related Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) data at the functionally significant item level for contractor and Government furnished equipment to be installed in new construction, major conversion, modernization, reactivation, and overhaul programs. In accordance with NAVSEA Technical Specification 9090-700A, a configuration worthy item is one that is defined below:

(a) It requires any one of the following elements of logistic support: Supply support, test equipment requirements, technical manuals, and repair standards, Planned Maintenance System (PMS intermediate, and depot level maintenance plans) or drawings (for example, installation, ship selected record, or configuration control drawings).

(b) Configuration information (for example, nameplate data, technical characteristics data, and component drawing) is required to support any level of maintenance (organizational, intermediate, or depot), and modernization (planning and data, technical characteristics data, and component execution).

(c) It is needed to fully describe the functional hierarchy of the ship.

If an item fits any of these above definitions then it is considered functionally significant. ROMIS is designed to be tailored to the shipbuilding/repair/overhaul project. The concept provides project managers with the necessary information to achieve configuration status accounting, allowance development, outfitting and ILS goals at established milestones and serves as the reporting media for direct updating of level A of the Weapon Systems File (WSF) or the Ship Configuration and Logistic Support Information System (SCLSIS). ROMIS is the vehicle to incrementally collect the Ship Configuration Logistic Support Index (SCLSI) data in new construction and overhaul and feed the SCLSI file.

ROMIS is modular in design providing for selected application. It is designed for use on various Automated Data Processing (ADP) hardware systems. This standard addresses the Configuration Status Accounting ROMIS (CSA). ROMIS CSA consists of a series of data elements which provide the capability to record configuration data and supporting documentation information. These data elements are defined in appendix A.

ROMIS CSA is available in the form of a NAVSEA software package. This Government software, for use on an IBM compatible microcomputer using DOS 3.3 or later, is available at the contractor's own risk. The ROMIS concept, as implemented by contractor's software, shall be in compliance with this standard as tailored by the ROMIS Requirement Statement (RRS) invoked in the contract.

The objective of ROMIS is to provide a means to accurately define the ship configuration and to evaluate progress leading to achievement of specific supply readiness and logistics objectives at established milestones. Specifically, ROMIS is designed to improve accuracy of the ship Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL) by providing early and precise configuration definition, improving allowance support available at the end of construction, providing a central data bank for reporting progress and status information to activities responsible for managing and supporting the construction fitting out, and availability efforts.

The CSA concept is based on establishing a record for each functionally significant item and associated physical equipment or component or equipage item and their applications. These records will ultimately constitute the individual ship configuration. A record is initiated from one or more of the following: design, functional configuration baseline index, material requirements, or purchase documents and is expanded and updated with more specific provisioning processing, allowance development, logistics supporting documentation equipment, receipt, installation, and validation information as it becomes available during the construction or conversion or modernization reactivation process. In conversion, modernization, reactivation, and overhaul programs, a ROMIS data base is created from the existing WSF or SCLSI data base and consists of each equipment component, and equipage record which represents the preconversion, modernization, reactivation, or overhaul configuration baseline.

When ROMIS is invoked in the contract, the RDB is maintained by the contractor in accordance with this standard and the RRS.

The ROMIS CSA concept applies to hull, mechanical, electrical, electronics, and ordnance equipment and equipage (excluding naval nuclear propulsion equipment under the cognizance of the Nuclear Propulsion Directorate of the Naval Sea Systems Command and Strategic Weapon Systems Equipment). ROMIS operation commences at contract award and terminates as specified in the RRS.

The requirements of this standard apply to the contractor. Detailed tasks are described in section 5 of this standard.

intended Use:

This standard is intended for inclusion in NAVSEA shipbuilding, conversion, modernization, reactivation or overhaul contracts.
