Defense Logistics Information Research (DLIR)
Abstract
FY2016-FY2020 funding for this DLIR have been reprogrammed to the DLA Manufacturing Technology Program (P.E. 0708011S). This change will better align the technical work with the OSD Manufacturing Technology Program initiative for the Model Based Enterprise (MBE). The MBE will help DOD move to a completely digital environment for design and engineering data needed to conceive, design, build and support weapon systems. The Defense Logistics Information Research (DLIR) program objective is to research, identify, and implement potential or existing technologies using high-risk, high-payoff tools, methods, techniques, and products. The DLIR program partners with commercial industry to perform short-term projects (STPs) in various logistics business areas which align with the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA’s) strategic vision. DLIR improves functional and business processes using the latest technologies available, which support the nation’s warfighter. The technical areas of interest are: 1.) Development of Logistics Data Interoperability & Availability. Enhances the functionality and compatibility of data in a complex data environment using supply chain relationships and lifecycle management to allow flexible visibility. 2.) Next Generation Automated Electronic Commerce and Sourcing. The Next Generation Automated Electronic Commerce and Sourcing technical area of interest focuses on employing the best of breed processes, practices, and technology to enable and/or streamline electronic commerce from the customer’s point-of-need to point-of-satisfaction. DLIR is working several short term projects in the first area of interest only. They are positioning DLA to move towards a model-based enterprise (MBE), using and acquiring 3-Dimensional model-based data instead of 2-Dimensional hardcopy for weapon system sustainment and support.
