CONSTRUCTION AUTOMOTIVE
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT/MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
The Construction Automotive Special
Equipment/Management Information System
(CASE/MIS) is a computer program used for
management and procurement of all CESE. The Civil
Engineer Support Office (CESO), Port Hueneme,
maintains this program.
Second and Third NCB
equipo offices use the (CASE/MIS) program to
perform on-hands management of CESE assignment,
replacement, overhaul, and disposal. Information
maintained by CASE/MIS is discussed in the
following paragraphs.
TAB A
This equipment list is initiated by CESO and is
updated by the Second and Third NCB equipo office
from the CASE/MIS computer program. The TAB A
is printed in any format requested by on-site
managers. The basic format (fig. 1-1) is printed
showing the equipment code, USN, description, and
location.
Equipment Code (EC)
CESO assigns an Equipment Code (EC) for each
type of equipment (see table 1-1). The primary
purpose of equipment codes is to establish permanent
and positive identification of each unit of CESE. For
example, you have six sedans on a TAB A with the
92-00000 series USN numbers, and one of the six
sedans is equipped with air conditioning. The
standard EC for sedans is 0105/01. Five of the sedans
are listed under the 0105/01 EC. The sedan equipped
with air conditioning is listed under a special EC of
0105/02 because the last two digits of a EC denotes
any special procurement for a piece of equipment.
DISPATCHER
The transportation supervisor must possess an
in-depth knowledge of the positions that work
together to make the transportation pool function
effectively.
The dispatch office is the hub of
communication for all equipment-related matters;
therefore, a dispatcher must have the ability to convey
information and instructions in a clear and tactful
manner.
The dispatcher controls the status and location of
every assigned item of equipment. The dispatcher
controls the keys to all vehicle-locking devices, and
all spare keys are retained in the equipment history
jacket. The dispatcher also maintains all required
forms and records for assigned equipment.
Equipment Status Board
The primary function of the equipment status
board is to serve as a visual aid that provides a list of
all equipment assigned to the unit. The board should
