Virtual Prime Vendor T1P1 Short Term Project - QLM/Retail at MCRD - San Diego

Abstract

ARN demonstration sites, Cal Poly and Clemson University, were directed to develop Virtual Prime Vendor (VPV) demonstrations. The Cal Poly ATRC VPV initiative focused on support and collaboration with MCRD-SD and its supporting supply chain entities. The VPV scope was to address all components of the military recruit apparel supply chain including manufacturing, wholesale and retail to enhance asset visibility and management at each level. The objectives included developing and implementing an integrated supply-chain system providing total asset visibility coupled with balanced manufacturing flows and replenishment/inventory management systems to achieve significant retail and wholesale inventory drawdown. This short-term project has resulted in the implementation of the Quality Logistics Management system at MCRD-SD and was funded to provide automated support for logistics operations at the retail level including key functional components that support supply requisitioning, receipt processing, inventory management and supporting and tracking customer issues.
