The winds of change brings about new and while fading the old away. This is true with life and it was also true for Tom Lippert, a sale representative for Dupont Engineering Polymers (DEP). DEP is faced with change as their long time GARD contact, Mike O’Leary turns over his responsibilities with his predecessor, Richard Binish. Richard trust the relationship that Mike has developed with DEP over the years however, he plans to verify DEP’s performance to his own standard.

Dell is a multibillion-dollar corporation that helps empower individual and communities with their innovative technology. Dell requires that all suppliers (domestically and globally) comply with the laws and regulations where the suppliers conduct business. Using global suppliers, Dell will need to understand the logistics to from the foreign suppliers to the end customer’s doorsteps. This paper will advise the factors impacting Dell’s transportation needs. It will also recommend the logistic methods within the local region, domestic, and international shipments. Last, this paper will summarize Dell’s strategic requirements of global logistic. Global logistics will also explain what Dell will need to

Logistics at the strategic level of U.S. operations is important in posturing and maintaining the Army to accomplish combined arms maneuver and wide area security. Transportation and maintenance contractors are vital to U.S. missions and provide valuable

On the basis of United States Code, Title 10, and joint doctrine, the Marine Corps, in coordination and cooperation with the Navy, has made logistical self-sufficiency an essential element of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) expeditionary warfighting capabilities. This means that the Marine Corps’ logistics mission, at all commands and support levels, is to generate MAGTFs that are rapidly deployable, self-reliant, self-sustaining, and flexible and that can rapidly reconstitute (Logistics Operations, 1999). While the Marine Corps is unmatched in its ability to be the most rapid responding force across the globe, a deficiency exists that should be addressed. Over the past decade, there have been numerous successful innovations in ground and aviation logistics, but they have lacked in standardization or integration within the MAGTF. Emerging operating concepts such as disaggregated MAGTF operations and seabasing, along with current fiscal constraints, are driving the need to further modernize and integrate MAGTF logistics in order to optimize support to the warfighter (Borrelli & Hodge, 2013). Independently, the logistical concepts and systems that exist for the ground elements and the aviation elements are proven to be effective and efficient, however, when the aviation and ground elements work in concert the response of logistical support is hindered. This paper will offer possible solutions to close the logistics gap between the Marines Corps’ aviation and

The Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce is the foundation of the United States Federal Government regulation in civil aviation. Born out of necessity to nurture the growth and expansion of aviation, it was believed that without federal regulation, this green industry would falter.

Peter Drucker, an American Businessman once said, “The best way to predict the future is to create it”.

The United States Army utilizes a logistics system for aviation known as Unit Level Logistics System-Aviation (Enhanced). This logistics system is used in Army aviation for a multitude of highly important practices and processes required to keep Army aircraft flying. The United States Army depends on this logistical system both home and abroad to remain the most combat ready and advanced warfighter in the world. An important aspect of the technologically advanced logistics system is the ability to interface with all other Army logistic systems and advanced aircraft. Other Army logistic systems will be discussed in this research paper to show how all the different logistic systems work together. Army aviators, aircraft crewmembers, managers,

This paper targets to assess Flight Centre’s strategic situation in 2003, focusing on discovering key issues in pursuing future profitable growth. Furthermore, strategic solutions to their issues will be considered and a refined strategy proposed based on the analysis.

Provides multifunctional logistics support for the Theater Tactical Signal Brigade (TTSB), consisting of a Brigade Headquarters with four Expeditionary Signal Battalions (ESB) and a Tactical Installation Node (TIN). Multifunctional logistics support includes: transportation, field level maintenance, commercial leased vehicle fleet, food service support, installation property book management, field services, life support service and operational contract support. Serves as the logistics subject matter expert (SME) who advises the Brigade Commander and the subordinate signal battalions concerning sustainment operations throughout the United States and aboard. Manages an annual budget of $9.4M and coordinates with engineering and budgetary staff

Military sustainment operations covers a wide range of logistical support requirements necessary for the accomplishment of military operations and mission endurance. Sustainment is defined by the U.S Army as; “the provision of logistics, personnel services, and health service support necessary to maintain operations until successful mission completion” - (ADP 4-0). Each of these three areas play a crucial role in military operations within their own right and present their own unique challenges. The logistics of military sustainment covers a diverse spectrum of responsibilities including Maintenance, Transportation, Supply, Field Services, Distribution, Operational contract support, and General engineering support.

Due to the large quantity of freight and the long distance that it must travel to arrive to its destination exporters and importers alike have found logistic service providers essential to engage in international trade (Rodriguez, Comtois, Slack, 2013). While some Logistics service providers focus only on the area of transportation others specialize in freight consolidation, distribution management, and warehousing (Robinson, 2014). They have enough market knowledge, information and communication systems to offer supply chain solutions tailored to the specific needs of any company be it small or large (Rodriguez, Comtois, Slack,

In reality, the Logistics Officer job in the Army can be broken into two distinct jobs. The first job is probably the most widely understood in an Army context; that is, the support of troops in training for and during operations. In this job, the Logistics Officer must provide logistical support to the fighting forces while at all times being ready to join the fight themselves. The second, less recognised job, involves providing logistical advice and support to the local Army establishment in support of daily operations. The necessary duality of this job becomes more apparent when attempting to analyse its design in terms of existing theories.

The general Aerospace inventory network can be grouped among OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, Tier 2 suppliers and Tier 3 suppliers. Customarily, substantial airplane makers frequently alluded to as OEMs, will indicate their needs to the Tier 1 suppliers. OEMs are in charge of general outlining and assembling, which are regularly alluded to as the most basic segment of the worth chain and every now and again confront section obstructions because of high speculation necessities and innovative abilities. Level 2 suppliers produce flying machine parts as per the Tier 1 suppliers' particulars. Level 3 suppliers are in charge of giving fundamental segments needed by different sellers that are available higher in the worth chain. Be that as it may, with the

- USFF N411 co-led the Sonobuoy Working Group (WG) in reassigning primary responsibilities for inert Sonobuoy storage and logistics support to the Navy Munitions command (NMC) during FY-16. This project required significant collaboration with OPNAV, Fleet and SYSCOM stakeholders and included a detailed evaluation of all facets of the Sonobuoy management process including resource requirements for management and distribution. The result of the Working Group efforts was an improved process that enhanced asset visibility and inventory accuracy while reducing costs for the

The multifunctional nature of Operations Management requires a high level of process- and system-based synchronization across many different departments and divisions to be successful. The structural organization of the US Army is heavily dependent on Operations Management for missions to be accomplished, and long-term strategic visions to be attained (VanVactor, 2007). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how the five areas of accounting, industrial engineering, management, management science and statistics, in conjunction with critical path analysis and linear programming, are used extensively throughout the US Army's supply chain operations.
