    Investigating the Department of Defense's Implementation of Passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
    (2006-04-01) Thomas, Christopher A.; Hernandez, Emeterio V.; Logistics Management (NPS-LM); Acquisition Research Program (ARP); Acquisition Logistics; Graduate Student
    The purpose of this report is to study the implementation process of passive RFID throughout the Department of Defense and determine whether or not the process explicitly or implicitly followed typical executive modeling formulas. It will also determine the problematic areas in the implementation of such an emerging technology and the best way to overcome those problems throughout an organization of the magnitude and complexity of the Department of Defense.

    Sourcing in the Air Force: An Optimization Approach
    (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2010-02-01) Apte, Aruna; Rendon, Rene G.; Salmeron, Javier; Logistics Management (NPS-LM); Acquisition Research Program (ARP); Contract Management
    The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) annually procures billions of dollars worth of systems, supplies, and services in support of the national military strategy. Faced with budget cuts and other resource constraints, the DoD must monitor its procurement process to ensure a continuous flow of critical supplies and services. One aspect of current transformation in DoD is the use of a strategic sourcing approach for the procurement of installation-level services. Using the Air Force''s strategic sourcing process as our context, we develop an optimization model for selecting a set of bids among multiple offerors'' proposals for installation services. The selection achieves the most favorable objective based on balancing the confidence performance level in past performance of the offerors and the cost to the Air Force. The research findings based on a realistic scenario demonstrate improvements in both overall performance and cost than the current process

    Naval Aviation Maintenance: A Case Study for Process Improvement
    (2006-12-01) Jafar, Eric; Mejos, Terence Noel C.; Yang, Chieh; Logistics Management (NPS-LM); Acquisition Research Program (ARP); Acquisition Logistics; Graduate Student
    This case is divided into two parts: Part A describes the J52-P408 engine repair process prior to the implementation of AIRspeed at the AIMD Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island (NASWI) J52 engine repair shop. Part B discusses the post-implementation of AIRSpeed and the use of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to eliminate non-value-added processes; the use of which resulted in increased productivity.

    Pallet Management System: A Study of the Implementation of UID/RFID Technology for Tracking Shipping Materials within the Department of Defense Distribution Network
    (2008-08-01) Harris, Jeffrey S.; Worrell, Jeffrey S.; Logistics Management (NPS-LM); Acquisition Research Program (ARP); Acquisition Logistics; Graduate Student
    The purpose of this MBA project is to identify the typical pallet utilization for the Defense Distribution Depot San Joaquin (DDJC) shipments to the Defense Distribution Depot San Diego (DDDC). That information will be used as the basis for suggesting a standardized reutilization management system for wood and non-wood pallets. This project will analyze the inclusion of Radio Frequency Identification and Unique Item Identification in conjunction with bar code technology for the improvement of asset visibility within the Department of Defense''s supply network.

    Investigating the Department of Defense's Implementation of Passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
    (2005-12-01) Hernandez, Emeterio V.; Thomas, Christopher A.; Logistics Management (NPS-LM); Acquisition Research Program (ARP); Acquisition Logistics; Graduate Student
    The purpose of this research is to investigate the implementation of the DoD's RFID mandate. Our research is based on the conjecture that all technologies emerge through either an explicit or implicit business process. Passive RFID implementation has not been managed strategically by OSD. Our aim is to interview key subject-matter experts from the Office of the Assistant Under Secretary of Defense Supply Chain Integration, Army, Navy, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, the DoD''s Office of Logistics Automation Information Technology, the Product Manager Joint-automated Information Technology Office, and members of the Joint Staff Logistics Directorate as to where the implementation progress of RFID within the DoD is being challenged. Based on our findings, we will make recommendations on the most appropriate strategy for managing passive RFID implementation.

    Applicability Analysis of Performance Based Logistics Implementation for US Army Stryker Armored Vehicle to Improve Turkish Army Weapon System Support
    (2007-06-01) Denizer, Gokhan; Logistics Management (NPS-LM); Acquisition Research Program (ARP); Acquisition Logistics; Graduate Student
    This research examines the total life cycle logistics system and performance based logistics (PBL) implementation. This report looks into the application of Defense Acquisition University''s 12-step PBL implementation model defined in Performance Based Logistics: A Program Manager''s Product Support Guide(March 2005) for the Stryker Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) support. The research consists of a literature review of the Total Life Cycle System Management, Supply Chain Management concepts and performance based logistics. It is followed by a comparative analysis of PBL application between Stryker Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) Program and Turkish Army''s advanced Armored Combat Vehicle (ACV) program support practices. This research provides recommendations to improve Turkish Army''s weapon system support, and maintainability based on findings and introduces potentials through implementation of PBL practices for the Turkish Army.
