The NATO Codification System (NCS for short) is a Standardization Agreement approach to identify, classify and number items of supply. This is applicable to items that are repetitively used and stocked (e.g., repair parts, equipment, food items, etc.). The System has been agreed by all signatories of the NATO and sponsored non-NATO nations for use in identifying equipment and supplies.() The result is a unique identification and a data set that can be easily shared and understood by a wide range of users. The data set may be shared in the form of printed catalogs, on line systems, electronic data exchange, etc. Users include logisticians and manufacturers. The process of codification (or cataloging) involves naming, classifying, describing the item and assignment of a 13 digit NATO Stock Number (or NSN). The system aids logistics processes, to include supply, purchasing, maintenance, warehousing, transportation, planning, etc. Further, it allows different organizations, even countries, to cooperate in providing logistics support to military, disaster relief, peace keeping and similar operations. == NCS documents == Five NATO Standardisation Agreements (STANAGs) build the structural basis for the system:〔(Manual on Codification(ACodP-1) January 2014(English version) )〕 * STANAG 3150: Codification-Uniform System of Supply Classification * STANAG 3151: Codification-Uniform System of Item of Supply Identification * STANAG 4177: Codification-Uniform System of Data Acquisition * STANAG 4199: Codification-Uniform System of Exchange of Materiel Management Data * STANAG 4438: Codification-Uniform System of Dissemination of Data Associated with NATO Stock Numbers(NSN) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NATO Codification System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
