Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to develop recommendations for improvements in the basic system currently used by the DoD for development and procurement of new clothing and textile items. The focus of the study was on the ability of the system to react to the material needs of the Military Services in a timely manner. The report contains a description of the system for effecting new item introductions; and, it identifies several problems associated with the organizational interface between the developing agency (the Military Services) and the procurement and inventory management agency (the Defense Supply Agency) as well as problems internal to these agencies.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is to help evaluate new ideas for reducing costs and improving supply performance, we have created a simulation model of clothing and textile (C & T) operations at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). DLA's Clothing and Textiles Directorate at the Defense Personnel Support Center in Philadelphia serves as the wholesale manager in DoD for roughly 30,000 different apparel and equipment items worn and used by U.S. Service personnel. The C & T Directorate sells and replenishes more than $1.0 billion worth of materiel each year and maintains from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion in inventory at depots and warehouses worldwide. The C & T simulation model now in use at both DLA Headquarters and the C & T Directorate enables inventory managers to project and evaluate the potential effects of new inventory policies and operating methods. It runs on DLA Zenith personal computers (PCs) and operates on C & T data extracted from standard DLA Supply Control Files. It provides estimates of how supply performance, inventory levels, and costs are affected by different operating policies and procedures. At its core, the model incorporates the basic operating rules and architecture necessary to simulate operations and interactions with customers and suppliers as they occur at any DLA Supply Center. For the C & T application, the model is specifically tailored to reflect unique aspects of the C & T business, such as multi-item procurement groups of items that come in different sizes, program-based estimates of future requirements, phased deliveries from suppliers, and the key C & T mission of providing strong supply support to Recruit Training Centers.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a narrative description (Volume I) and PC SIMSCRIPT II. 5 source code (Volume II) for a PC-based simulation of wholesale inventory management of clothing and textile (C & T) items as practiced at the Defense Logistics Agency's Clothing and Textiles Directorate, Defense Personnel Support Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The C & T simulation system includes a simulation model, a SIMSCRIPT program for preparation of input data, and an analytic variable safety level (VSL) model (also programmed in SIMSCRIPT) for computation of C & T VSLs. Simulated functions include demand forecasting (both program-oriented and historical-demand-based); C & T inventory control (the setting of quantitative levels, e.g., reorder point, procurement cycle quantity, acquisition objective); customer demand (customers being DoD retail supply points); and supplier responsiveness(leadtime variability).

This book was released on 1966 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general technological survey and short range forecast of probable garment fabrication techniques and apparel industry operations was undertaken. The investigation revealed that over the next five years significant improvements in the productivity and in the management functions of the industry will develop. It appears that the impact of these developments will result in more rapid and more mechanized output of the same type of clothing generally available today, rather than in completely new types of apparel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right clothing and equipment is of vital importance to the survival and effectiveness of military personnel. Advances in military textiles and personal equipment summarises key research on the design, manufacture and applications of military textiles. Beginning with an overview of design issues, part one explores anthropometric methods, psychological, colour and camouflage issues related to the successful design of military textiles. Materials and design issues in military helmets, footwear and hand wear are also reviewed. Part two goes on to consider applications of particular types of military clothing and equipment, including optimisation of body armour design, high performance ballistic protection using polymer nanocomposite technology as well as advances in materials and modelling of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protective clothing. Finally, Advances in military textiles and personal equipment looks specifically at designing load carriage and advanced hydration systems for military personnel. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Advances in military textiles and personal equipment is an invaluable resource for all those working in the design, manufacture and production of military clothing and equipment, as well as for the defence industry itself. Summarises key research on the design, manufacture and applications of military textiles Begins with an overview of the issues related to the successful design of military textiles and reviews materials and design issues in military helmets, footwear and hand wear Sections consider applications of particular types of military clothing and equipment, including optimisation of body armour design, and discusses advances in materials and modelling of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protective clothing

Book excerpt: Federal procurement expenditures for goods and services have continued to climb in the face of mounting pressures to limit Government spending. These expenditures grew from about $50 billion annually in the late 1960s to $84 billion in 1977. The Congress, concerned over these inflationary expenditures and the enormous Federal organizations developed to purchase; store; and distribute supplies and equipment needed by the various agencies, questioned whether the users' needs were satisfied most economically. As a result of this concern, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) established a policy in May 1976 requiring Federal agencies to meet their procurement needs from products regularly manufactured and sold in the commercial marketplace. This review assessed the implementation of the policy by DOD. In particular, we focused on how well the Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC) applied Commercial Commodity Acquisition Program (CCAP) and Commercial Item Support Program (CISP) in the procurement and distribution of clothing and textile items.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military services have a degree of discretion regarding whether and how to apply Department of Defense (DOD) acquisition guidance for their uniform development and they varied in their usage of that guidance. As a result, the services had fragmented procedures for managing their uniform development programs, and did not consistently develop effective camouflage uniforms. GAO identified two key elements that are essential for producing successful outcomes in acquisitions: 1) using clear policies and procedures that are implemented consistently, and 2) obtaining effective information to make decisions, such as credible, reliable, and timely data. The Marine Corps followed these two key elements to produce a successful outcome, and developed a uniform that met its requirements. By contrast, two other services, the Army and Air Force, did not follow the two key elements; both services developed uniforms that did not meet mission requirements and had to replace them. Without additional guidance from DOD on the use of clear policies and procedures and a knowledge-based approach, the services may lack assurance that they have a disciplined approach to set requirements and develop new uniforms that meet operational needs. The military services' fragmented approach for acquiring uniforms has not ensured the development of joint criteria for new uniforms or achieved cost efficiency. DOD has not met a statutory requirement to establish joint criteria for future uniforms or taken steps to ensure that uniforms provide equivalent levels of performance and protection for service members, and the services have not pursued opportunities to seek to reduce clothing costs, such as by collaborating on uniform inventory costs. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 required the military departments to establish joint criteria for future ground combat uniforms. The departments asked the Joint Clothing and Textiles Governance Board to develop the joint criteria, but the task is incomplete. If the services do not use joint criteria to guide their activities, one or more service may develop uniforms without certainty that the uniforms include the newest technology, advanced materials or designs, and meet an acceptable level of performance. Further, DOD does not have a means to ensure that the services meet statutory policy permitting the development of service-unique uniforms as long as the uniforms, to the maximum extent practicable, provide service members the equivalent levels of performance and protection and minimize the risk to individuals operating in the joint battle space. Without a policy to ensure that services develop and field uniforms with equivalent performance and protection, the services could fall short of protecting all service members equally, potentially exposing a number to unnecessary risks. Finally, the services may have opportunities for partnerships to reduce inventory costs for new uniforms. The Army may be able to save about $82 million if it can partner with another service. Under DOD guidance, the services are encouraged to actively seek to reduce costs. The Air Force has shown interest in the Army's current uniform development, but none of the services has agreed to partner with the Army on a new uniform. In the absence of a DOD requirement that the services collaborate to standardize the development and introduction of camouflage uniforms, the services may forego millions of dollars in potential cost savings. GAO recommends that DOD take four actions to improve the development of camouflage uniforms and enhance collaboration among the services: ensure that the services have and use clear policies and procedures and a knowledge-based approach, establish joint criteria, develop policy to ensure equivalent protection levels, and pursue partnerships where applicable to help reduce costs. DOD concurred with GAO's recommendations and identified planned actions.
