Improving Logistics Processes (formerly Logistics Process)
Abstract
Logistics Processes are R&D efforts within the Weapon System Sustainment Program (WSS) undertaken to develop and implement advanced technology in the internal DLA logistics processes. To qualify for R&D funding, the R&D effort must develop and apply technology and processes over and above current baseline IT systems and continuous improvements efforts. This strategic focus area has 2 thrusts: Technical/Quality (T/Q) Process Improvements and Selected Process Improvements. T/Q Process Improvements to reduce material and internal costs and improve support to warfighters. Services have engineering responsibility for most Class IX parts. Many T/Q sub-processes involve interactions with Service engineering functions, which often are time-consuming and costly. Other key T/Q sub-processes are essential to the procurement function, such as analysis of parts content, source capabilities and problem resolution. Selected Process Improvements cover processes outside the scope of the Technical/Quality (T/Q) function. Although all DLA processes are in scope, the focus for FY 2019 is on the Procurement process, especially aspects driving internal costs and delays in awards.
