Download or read book The Future of Logistics Automation written by Donald M. Lauer and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1960s the Army has integrated automation into almost every aspect of logistics. The Army Logistician's start point for fielding an automated system was little more than a sophisticated accounting machine, the National Cash Register model NCR 500. The NCR 500 did nothing more than automate an existing manual process. In the next thirty years the Army's logistics community has done little more than continue to automate manual processes. Each branch, and branch subset, has independently developed their system, because they felt their functions to be unique. Today we have logistics systems that do not share information with other logistics systems and that have different names for the same thing. Logisticians have a difficult time understanding their own automated systems. The rest of the Army generally does not try. The Army tactical commander does not have direct, easy, access to logistics information regarding his unit's logistical status. Most battalion and brigade commanders, logisticians and non-logisticians alike, feel that logistics systems are developed without a view towards Army needs. This paper will look at where Army logistics automation has been, where it is today, and where current planning will take it in the future. The paper concludes with where the author thinks logistics automation should be going, why and how. This paper is not a technical treatise on logistics automation. There will be no discussions of what goes in card column 39 nor what AOA card does within the system. It is rather a concerned conceptual look at the topic, with a view towards Army logistics for the remainder of this century and into the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Process of Military Distribution Management written by James H. Henderson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide for Logistician's (military or civilian) in the execution of Movement Control and Distribution Management. - Provides examples of procedures and guidance utilized by our armed forces operating in Iraq to date, as well as being reviewed as emerging doctrine for the future. - Presents information for staff management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. - Provides a process to utilize data from different automation systems, which do not talk to one another, as well as incorporates manual procedures to develop a system to monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. By doing this, we have provided the commander with a focused staff battle rhythm that works. Due to the Army Transformation and Spiral Development, there is a lack of documentation on just how to interpret and implement the new concepts and automation applications, and synchronize their usage and development. Many of the ideas and process in this book have not advanced beyond the conjectural level. The work covered is an initial effort to make operational these new ideas and procedures and provide them as training in a classroom and wartime environment. The uniqueness of the logistical mission and the technology of these services, this book may be guided towards a rather select audience. But due to the tactics and methods being used by our enemies in the field, it is important to understand that at all levels, the ability to have visibility and command and control of movement within our battle space is essential.
Download or read book Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.
Download or read book Military Logistics Made Easy written by James H. Henderson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You already know that logistics is hard, it should not be, but it just is. The key components to supply and movement consist of receive, store, issue, and move. It should be that simple. Bottom line: it just is not that simple. There are too many moveable parts where the synergy of the operation could provide a scenario where the combined requirements needed to sustain a theater are greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. . This book outlines some of these logistical components and their doctrinal relationship to the operation, as well as provides some new ideas. . The chapters are formatted in a fashion that offer the reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute the logistical function or capability as it relates to the operation. . The goal is to discuss those hard logistical topics and their conception to improve the general knowledge and understanding on "why it happens", and "how we can improve the outcome".

Through this book an endeavor has been made to understand the logistics of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China. An introduction to the theory of supply chain management and logistics of foreign Armies is discussed. Today ‘Revolution in Military Logistics’ (RML) is taking place in the People’s Liberation Army.
