Inventory Management Logistics

Inventory Management
Due to the volume of articles onboard Station, and the fact that Station will be on orbit continuously for at least 15 years, the need arises for a system of tracking the location and status of items that have been stored on board. The Inventory Management System (IMS) fulfills that purpose.
The IMS, together with detailed logistics planning, provides a process used to ensure that the right items are in the right place at the right time. To perform this task, plans and processes are developed that ensure the continued support of the ISS core systems. Mission manifesting and transfer of items to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) are also supported.
Logistics and inventory management starts years before a flight and determines who sends what items to the ISS, what vendors are used during the procurement process, and how items will be repaired. This is extremely important because it is necessary to ensure that the right items are sent to, maintained on, and returned from the ISS at the right time. A current status and a forecast for the future availability of inventory is essential. It is necessary to know what is broken in order to fix it.
Inventory is affected by the manifest of each flight. The ISS uses the Inventory Storage File to determine exactly what is onboard. Inventory includes items pertaining to:

  • Crew Support - Includes clothing, food, and personal items
  • Station Support - Includes spares, repair parts, consumables, technical data and documentation, support equipment, etc.
  • User Support - Includes items required to support customer/user for payloads and their associated support items, and consumables including fluids and gases. It also includes returning experiment products, specimens, and disposal of waste materials

The inventory on the ISS is managed by the Inventory Management System. IMS is a software application that will reside onboard the Station Support Computers (SSC), so updated inventory is available Station wide. Updates to the inventory can be made via the keyboard, Graphical User Interface (GUI) or bar code reader. IMS provides capabilities for crew queries, displays, editing of locations, keeping track of quantities, changes in operational status, changing hazardous codes, keeping notes, etc. It also creates a change/update log to track inventory activities.
