Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Identification and Notification

The Industrial Base (IB) group's ability to identify and reduce the impact of DMSMS is critical to military readiness. Army DMSMS problems occur when an item or a material needed in the repair, build, overhaul, or support of an Army system is limited or unavailable. Timely identification of DMSMS situations is important to help resolve potential problems before they impact readiness. The IB group is responsible for

• screening DMSMS notices (https://dmsmsinfo.tacom.army.mil/ and
  http://www.gidep.corona.navy.mil),
  
  
• notifying weapon system and item managers of the notices, and
  
  
• responding to the system of any resolution actions taken for the notices.
