The Army Seeks a World Class Logistics Modernization Program

Abstract

Capelli's work with LMP started two years prior in August of 1997 at the Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. CECOM's Deputy to the Commanding General Mr. Victor Ferlise called Capelli to ask him if he'd be interested in leading an important new program that would help modernize the Army's outdated logistics management systems. Capelli had served at every level within CECOM's Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) prior to being named the Program Director of LMP. And, since a core aspect of LMP was the modernization of the logistics business processes, Capelli's experience made him a logical choice. CECOM was responding to an Army Materiel Command's (AMC's) August 5, 1997 memorandum (see Appendix A), in which AMC's Deputy Commanding General Dennis Benchoff tasked the Commander, CECOM to explore alternatives to modernize the wholesale logistics processes and associated information technology to support these processes. Specifically, the letter asked CECOM to: (a) Determine feasible alternatives for logistics modernization strategies; (b) consider the implications and devise methods to soften the impact on the existing workforce; (c) develop a performance-based statement of requirements, and (d) to recommend an acquisition approach.
