DESCRIPTION
The Commanding Officer's Readiness Reporting System (CORRS) is a decision
support system to improve management and decision making for Marine Corps
installations. CORRS provides evaluations of the physical condition (quality)
and the availability of (quantity) of important facility types at each Marine
Corps installation. Associated costs are also estimated for the improvement of
facility status and for the sustainment of current status.
OBJECTIVE
Overall objectives of the CORRS include:
-
Providing the current status of Marine Corps installations and facilities to
HQMC and all levels of the Chain of Command.
-
Applying Marine Corps-wide standards to assess the physical condition of
facilities.
-
Identifying degraded or unavailable facilities, which may impact on the
installation's ability to accomplish its mission(s).
-
Identifying and consistently estimating installation facility renovation,
replacement, new construction, and sustainment costs.
-
Assisting decision makers in prioritizing projects and programs, and in
allocating resources.
-
Minimizing the impact of implementing the revised CORRS on installations and
installation personnel.
BACKGROUND
CORRS is an R&K product developed for Headquarters, Marine
Corps. The initial version was developed and tested 2000.
CURRENT CONFIGURATION
The CORRS design utilizes a multi-tier client/server architecture. The CORRS
Client provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows users to view the
Quality and Quantity C-Ratings and change the overall C-Rating if justified.
All CORRS Client communication is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
and occurs via the Internet to the CORRS Application Server using minimal
TCP/IP network resources. The middle tier CORRS Application Server provides
queuing, scheduling, and application execution between CORRS Clients and the
backend CORRS Database Server. The CORRS Database Server running Microsoft SQL
Server provides query results, data staging, and data analysis. The CORRS
client/server architecture provides performance and scalability to CORRS users
with reduced network traffic and robust security. The CORRS Client supports
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP.
