Lackland Air Force Base Phase II Uniform Issue: Baseline Report
Abstract
LMI was tasked to conduct a baseline assessment of the Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) Phase II dress uniform issue process for male trainees. The purpose of this baselining effort was to provide the DLA Customer Driven Uniform Manufacturing II (CDUM II) Project a basis for measuring the impact of new technologies and opportunities that could improve Lackland AFB's Phase II dress uniform issue, inventory management, and size prediction processes. In Chapter 2, we discuss the Phase II dress uniform issue process. After describing the facility layout, we note the uniform items issued and the manner in which the Air Force clothing initial issue point (CIIP) employees at Lackland AFB distribute them. Our understanding of the process is based solely on the observations of our team during a February 2011 visit. At the end of the chapter, we provide process metrics based on observations from that visit. In Chapter 3, we discuss the inventory reporting and management processes employed at Lackland AFB. This is the final element of the Phase II uniform issue process. Contained within this chapter are details about Lackland AFB's inventory reporting method and metrics that highlight time measurements, volume data, and inventory reporting accuracy data. In Appendix A, we resurrect a baseline analysis conducted at the U.S. Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego (USMCRD-SD), in 2000. That baseline analyzed a different uniform issue method, one in which recruits were hand-measured by professional tailors. The numbers provided are the "go/no-go" metrics for the USMC recruit uniform issue process. They are included in this report as a way to compare the effectiveness of size prediction between the USMCRD-SD method and the Lackland AFB method. Appendixes B, C, D, and E present the daily schedule for CIIP employees, a blank inventory sheet, the Autodata Form Reader software, and inventory accuracy metrics for the Phase II issue process for female trainees.
