Manufacturing Technology Support (MATES) II Task Order 0006: Air Force Technology and Industrial Base Research and Analysis. Subtask Order 0004: Study on Supply Chains and Social Media

Abstract

The supply chain social media study was conducted from 28 March 2013 - 11 October 2013. The objective of this study was to: 1. More efficiently identify, evaluate, source, and qualify suppliers to better handle demand surges and supply chain disruptions (Assembly); 2. Better communication supply chain information (technical specifications, engineering change orders, product requisitions or releases, production, shipment and so on) to reduce effort and increase quality and on-time delivery (Communications); 3. Foster greater collaboration to improve production planning, more quickly identify and resolve supply chain issues and increase innovation (Collaboration); and, 4. Provide quantitative and qualitative insights into the industrial base and individual companies to facilitate better planning, improve decision-making, and provide an early warning of potential problems (Insights).
