The Inspector<br />
General Evaluation<br />
Management<br />
System (IGEMS) is the<br />
<strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> Inspector<br />
General’s (IG) web-based<br />
application tool that<br />
provides the capability for<br />
MAJCOM IGs to manage<br />
formal inspections by<br />
standardizing the planning,<br />
scheduling, conducting, and<br />
report writing processes.<br />
Additionally, this system<br />
records inspection results,<br />
monitors unit’s progress<br />
to address observations<br />
discovered by IG teams<br />
and enables analysis of<br />
inspection data to identify<br />
performance trends across<br />
the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong>.<br />
IGEMS was initially<br />
fielded in October of 2008<br />
and is presently utilized<br />
by more than 2,100 users<br />
within AFIA, AFMC, AFRC,<br />
AFSPC, AMC, and USAFE.<br />
A classified-capable version<br />
of IGEMS (IGEMS-C) is<br />
on track for deployment<br />
and use in December of<br />
2011. This will allow the<br />
MAJCOMs IGs to capture<br />
inspection data from Nuclear<br />
Surety <strong>Inspection</strong>s, Nuclear<br />
Operational Readiness<br />
<strong>Inspection</strong>s, Operational<br />
Readiness <strong>Inspection</strong>s, and<br />
Compliance <strong>Inspection</strong>s in a<br />
secure environment.<br />
Both IGEMS and<br />
IGEMS-C are comprised<br />
of a single database and a<br />
single interface for input<br />
and output of IG<br />
observations from<br />
discovery to closure<br />
at the strategic,<br />
operational, and<br />
tactical levels of<br />
the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong>. Both<br />
systems use an<br />
open architecture<br />
to facilitate <strong>Air</strong><br />
<strong>Force</strong>-wide trending<br />
analysis and enable<br />
cross communication<br />
of inspection and<br />
analysis results by<br />
using normalized data<br />
