With the responsibility of providing logistics support as quickly, efficiently, and effectively as possible to the warfighter, the Department of Defense must continually examine all feasible options to improve processes and eliminate shortfalls. As the availability and opportunity to refine supply-chain management methods through the use of mobile devices increases, a solution that utilizes them needs to be implemented. This research reviews current military enterprise-resource-planning software systems and their functions, and details why the lack of a mobile solution is limiting their performance and capabilities. It does so by exploring how administrative logistics functions can be dramatically enhanced through the use of a mobile application designed for the logistics program Global Combat Support System – Marine Corps. The prototype also demonstrates and evaluates how mobile devices could provide benefits beyond their inherent portability advantages.
