| description |
This text offers a practical approach for understanding the U.S. Army’s
extremely complex global logistics system, widely acknowledged as one
of the largest in the world. The focus is on inventory management policy
where prescriptions are illuminated through the prism of an enterprise
supply chain analysis. Although Army aviation logistics examples are
emphasized throughout, the fundamental issues and potential solutions
are broadly applicable to other large-scale military and industrial supply
chains as well. Following a summary of recent trends for background
and context, a multistage conceptual model of the logistics structure is
presented to segment and guide the effort. This multistage model is used
to systematically analyze major organizational components of the supply
chain, diagnose structural, disorders and prescribe solutions. Integration
challenges are addressed using cost-benefit perspectives, which incorporate
supply chain objectives of efficiency, resilience, and effectiveness.
The design and evaluation section proposes an “analytical architecture”
consisting of four complementary modeling approaches, collectively
referred to as “dynamic strategic logistics planning,” to enable a coordinated,
enterprise approach for U.S. Army Logistics Transformation. An
organizational construct is presented for an “engine for innovation” to
accelerate and sustain continual improvement for Army logistics and supply
chain management—a “Center for Innovation in Logistics Systems.”
Finally, strategic management challenges associated with enterprise integration
and transformational change are addressed: organizational design;
management information and decision support systems; strategic alignment
for a learning organization; and workforce considerations including
human capital investment needs. The text concludes with a relevant
historical vignette and closes with a summary of expected benefits. |
