Ultimately i am looking to convert the above format to work week of the year with Monday as start day.

Any help is appreciated.

To convert the time to the time zone of the Splunk server, use this.  Splunk will display the result in your selected time zone.

| eval time=strptime (field, "%m/%d/%Y%H:%M%p%:z")

To display the week number, try this.

| eval ww=strftime(time,"%V")

The %V formatter is for calendar weeks starting on Sunday.  Splunk offers no option for different starting days, but this should fill your requirements.
