Identification of Factors That Affect the Establishment of a Communication System for Logistics Support from AFLC to Security Assistance Countries.

Abstract

The research study identifies in security assistance countries some of the factors that might affect the establishment of an integrated International Logistics communication system. Through the use of a survey, it ranks countries on four factors: (1) The need for improved external communications (2) the sophistication of the existing supply system (3) the degree of centralization of the logistics organization and (4) the sophistication of internal communications. The study also acted as an informal market survey for an improved communication system that has been developed by the Air Force Logistics Command. Some of the countries surveyed are ready for improved external communications and could benefit from better communications with AFLC.
