结论

Army Materiel Command (AMC) Can Leverage the Three-Hub Network That the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Has Implemented in the Contiguous United States

  • This network, and the scheduled-truck service that serves it, enables DLA to distribute items to customers quickly on a predictable schedule and at reasonable cost.
  • For items that are positioned at DLA hubs, distribution by scheduled-truck service can be faster than by commercial truck shipment from other sites.
  • AMC could improve responsiveness to customers by positioning items at DLA depots, which, in turn, can issue items by scheduled-truck service.
  • Increasing use of DLA scheduled-truck service would also decrease U.S. Department of Defense costs of distribution.
摘要

The position of inventoried stock within the U.S. Army's logistical network is inseparably linked to operational success. The ability of the Army to deliver materiel as needed on a timely basis to support training and maintain readiness can ultimately decide mission outcome. In short, should the Army be able to improve delivery of materiel, it will improve its overall performance.

,

This report focuses on how the Army could improve its distribution of heavy secondary items, such as wheel assemblies, that account for a small proportion of the overall number of items the Army must ship to users but comprise a large proportion of the weight it ships. It discusses how the Army could leverage the scheduled-truck network of Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) distribution hubs to decrease average customer wait time by two to four days, for this class of items. The Army could also save nearly $1 million monthly in shipping costs, through reduced use of truckload and less-than-truckload shipping. It also discusses how changes in source-preference logic in logistics-management programs could ensure those outside the DLA-hub network receive materiel from the most appropriate source.

,

The research concludes that Army Materiel Command has several opportunities to direct where inventory is located, including when items are newly procured, when they come out of maintenance, and when source-preference programing is devised. Altogether, balancing inventory against regional demand would help item managers reduce requisition wait time and save costs.
