TRACS

TRACS is a “turn-key” system that automates the Army’s tool room operations by accurately tracking, accounting, controlling and managing its SKO, STTE and Command Directed tools.

Today, many Army tool room operations are performed manually. The management of Sets, Kits and Outfits (SKO) and Special Tools & Test Equipment (STTE) is based on subject matter expertise versus real tool usage data . Currently, there are Army logistics information systems in development, that are required to automate the tool room, but will not provide the required functionality for at least 3 years, if not longer.

Value

Improves Operational Efficiency and Reduces Errors: Using barcode technology permits fast and accurate data recording during log on, tool issue/return and inventories and electronically importing tool room hand receipts from Army legacy systems, manual data entry and data errors reduced and efficiency improved

Improves Accountability & Visibility: By automating the management and tracking of tool issues/returns, inventories and the generation of hand receipts, tool accountability and visibility is improved and tool losses reduced

Improves Safety: By tracking calibration, inspections, & load tests and alerting the tool custodian of overdue tools during the tool issue process and through the Custodian Dashboard, minimizes risk and possible damage to Army assets or injury to personnel
