Clemson Apparel Research Demonstration Contract. Years 6 and 7

Abstract

The purpose of this contract is to develop and demonstrate modern technologies and management practices that optimize the performance of the Department of Defense's Clothing and Textiles (C&T) supply chain. Specific objectives are as follows: (1) eliminate recruit training center clothing stockouts; (2) minimize operational and inventory investment costs across the entire supply chain; and (3) level production requirements placed on manufacturers. Clemson Apparel Research participates in the C&T supply chain as a model quick-response shirt manufacturer supporting Army and Marine Corps RTC. This paper presents a summary of the work and most important lessons learned for contract Years 1-7 and detailed results of all tasks in Years 6-7. Earlier reports covered years 1-3 and 4-5 in detail.
