Metrics for the Apparel Research Network. Volume I: Th& Defense Apparel Business

Abstract

The Apparel Research Network (ARN) is a consortium, sponsored by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), whose purpose is to improve costs; lead-times; and quality in the design; production; and distribution of defense clothing. DLA engaged the Logistics Management Institute to quantitatively describe the defense clothing business in order to support the direction and conduct of ARN research. In Volume I, we present a consolidated statement of costs for that business. We also provide lead-time statistics, focusing on logistics response time, and we discuss quality issues. In Volume II, we perform a cost/benefit analysis of the proposed ARN research program.
