PMTS: Packaging Management Tracking System

Having over 80 locations that have a need to package and ship materials, especially radioactive materials, creates an opportunity conducive to duplication. And in the packaging arena duplication can mean millions of dollars. Therefore the Department of Energy's Traffic Management Division (TMD) authorized the development of the Packaging Management Tracking System (PMTS) as an integral part of the Automated Transportation Management System (ATMS). PMTS, when fully developed, will provide information on current packaging-related data to ensure packaging readiness, availability, and safety. The clearest objective of this task is, To provide accurate package information that can be made readily accessible to the United States Department of Energy community and identified others in support of programmatic needs.
