Phase 0: Feasibility Study for ARN Balanced Flow NOMEX Supply Chain

Abstract

Without total asset visibility, DLA's retail focus has been on fulfilling retail requisitions rather than optimizing the overall supply chain performance. Also, the upstream tiers have been left to the management capabilities of end-item contractors, most of which are not capable of managing their upstream partners. To address these problems, the existing ARN concepts and systems needs to be extended to provide total asset visibility, decision support, and process improvements across the entire supply chains. Using NOMEX items, the project's Phase 0 effort has developed a validated framework for the implementation of the Extended ARN Operational Systems. A Data Model was developed for extending the AAVS Datamart to provide total asset visibility across the NOMEX Supply Chain. A business case analysis was conducted to investigate potential cost benefits of the Data Model and its enabling tools to DLA. The results indicated a net benefit of $17,383,445, an ROI of 8.21% and a 53% reduction in stock-outs.
