The USAF and Category Management: Shifting Paradigms to Achieve Affordable Installations in an Age of Fiscal Austerity

Abstract

In today's United States Air Force (USAF) there is significant pressure from Congress and the President of the United States to take on increased roles and responsibilities with reduced funding. Fiscal austerity drives leadership to develop innovative methods to do more with less. Category Management (CM) provides a framework to manage the associated costs from an enterprise perspective and enables the USAF to achieve affordable installations. CM unlocks previously unattainable value from the supply chain, reducing total cost and delivering savings that can be invested by the USAF.
