Systems Concept. The AMPRS system is based on the concept of one authoritative source of data. The source
15、is the Resident Engineer or Project Manager regardless of who actually prepares the input transactions. The data is input and utilized by the source. The primary input, feedback, and use of data by the Resident Engineer or Project Manager establishes the reliability of the information. The informati
16、on can now be utilized for automatic reporting to the district engineer, division engineer, OCE/HQ, and customers. 1-3. Reporting Concept. AMPRS is the sole source of data for reports to all recipients of Military Construction status reports. Since all the reports are prepared from one data base, OC
17、E/HQ, divisions, and districts are working with the same information. However, the data base provides each user only the information needed by that user. 1-4. Management Concept. a. General. The AMPRS data base provides information for management purposes. The manner in which the data is utilized is
18、 based on the individual style of managers, division chiefs, and district engineers. Data can be sunmarized, manipulated and formatted in any manner desired. 1-4 2018 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-W 3535789 005084b 553 = EP 415-345-

AMPRS is designed to provide the data on either or both bases, c. Milestone Execution. AMPRS is geared to provide managers with reports by milestones-for-milestone mon

27、tions related to the cyclic processing used to conduct data base maintenance, and provides updating and generation of reports related to military construction programs. 2-2. Organization and Structure. The organization and structure of AMPRS is as defined in AR 18-1, and ER 18-345-1. a. Proponent Ag
28、ency. The functional proponent is the Construction Division of the Military Programs Directorate (DAEN-MPC). The proponent is responsible for the design, development, and maintenance f the functional system, to include documentation. The proponent is also responsible for promulgating all changes to
29、the system and its prescribing regulations. b. Assigned Responsible Agency. The assigned responsible agency is the US Army Engineer Automation Support Activity (EASA). EASA is responsible for the design, development, programming, testing, and installatio,n of the ADP system software to support AMPRS
30、. 1 c. Users Group. An AMPRS users group provides a forum in which AMPRS problems may be identified and resolved. It focuses on the application of AMPRS to management problems, rather than the resolution of ADP problems. consists of at least two representatives from each military district and divisi
31、on, as well as members of OCE/HQ, who meet annually. It has a chairperson and vice-chairperson elected annually and the following committees : It (1) Steering Committee.

Retrieval of data, however, is not immediate, and the turnaround, or duration of wait is dependent on the individual division DPIs support of the interactive retr
37、ieval application. By using the Management Data Query System (MDQS), which can be learned by non-ADP qualified personnel, data can be extracted, sorted, arithmetically manipulated, and formatted when a need for certain information arises. Every district ADP center should be capable of writing MDQS q
38、ueries to retrieve date required by managers. In some locations, programed instruction courses are available within the computer itself which eliminate the need to send Construction/ Engineering Division managers to programing courses.
