Enhancing Analysis, Modeling, and Decision Support (formerly Analytic & Decision Support)

Abstract

This Strategic Focus Area (SFA) funds developments in advanced analytical tools, modeling, and simulation of logistics and supply chain processes. These tools will improve DLA forecasting and procurement strategy decisions and lead to faster and more flexible responsiveness to emerging market and customer requirements. This SFA consists of two programs: The Medical Logistics Network (MLN) program supports the Medical Directorate’s mission to develop and implement the logistics and medical supply chain business practices that ensure the cost-effective and efficient distribution of medical materiel to the full range of Military Health System operations. A portion of the MLN budget was realigned to other R&D efforts due to no specific projects identified. Assessments are currently being conducted for viable R&D projects for the budgeted amounts. The R&D Strategic Distribution & Disposition (SDD) Program collaborates with DLA Distribution and Disposition Services to identify capability shortfalls (gaps) that allow the opportunity to address these shortfalls through major applied research efforts and to further improve operational effectiveness and efficiency in support of Warfighter’s requirements. A key objective of the SDD Program is to infuse innovative solutions into distribution and disposition operations that address inadequate legacy capabilities and the challenges of future worldwide distribution, disposition, reutilization, and retrograde requirements.
