SYNCING SUPPLY WITH DEMAND
Tool Suite Provides 360-degree Visibility of Assets and Materiel Readiness
by CW5 Timothy S. Barker (USA Ret.) T he Army’s 360-degree Logistics
Readiness (360dLR) manage- ment tools are moving the service toward a single enterprise tool
that can provide standard answers to inqui- ries on quantity, ownership, and status of Army major items and repair parts, to sup- port a variety of logistics requirements.
The 360dLR suite of tools provides visibility of assets and key logistics infor- mation that affect materiel readiness across the Army enterprise. A collabora- tive effort involving the Army G-4, the Logistics Innovation Agency, and the U.S. Army Materiel Command’s Logistics Sup- port Activity (LOGSA) defined a set of indicator areas that support the 360dLR management capability. This tool suite enables user-friendly access and analysis of information found in the Logistics Infor- mation Warehouse (LIW), the Army’s authoritative logistics data repository.
Through the LIW, 360dLR uses origi- nal data from the Property Book Unit Supply Enhanced, Defense Property Accountability System, Army War Reserve Deployment System, Standard Army Retail Supply System, Logistics Management Program, Standard Army Maintenance System – Enhanced, Army Status of Resources and Training System, Readiness Integrated Database, Unit Level Logistics System – Aviation (ULLS-A) and ULLS-A (Enhanced), Army Materiel Command Installation Supply System,
58
and Joint Medical Asset Repository. By drawing from these authoritative sources, the 360dLR dashboard integrates the most current LIW data available into a consolidated common operational picture.
The suite of integrated 360dLR business intelligence reports enables senior lead- ers to make more informed and effective decisions to synchronize materiel readi- ness, shape Army Force Generation, and influence budget processes. It also pro- vides “point and click” analysis of data to support the operational and tactical logis- tician’s business information needs.
With 360dLR dashboards for supply classes VII (major items) and IX (repair parts), 10 interactive business intelligence reports have been deployed to the LIW and are available Armywide to support visibility and performance management for the following areas:
Class VII Enterprise Inventory Visibil- ity—Quantity on hand and ownership information for Army major items across the enterprise (wholesale, retail, and in-transit).
Class VII Unit Receipt Tracking— Timeliness of major item issue and fielding processes from wholesale orga- nizations to ensure accountability.
Class VII Retrograde—Visibility of items in retrograde pipeline and assess- ment of the timeliness of shipments returning from theater.
Class VII Unit Materiel Readiness— Serviceability of Army Status of Resources and Training System fleets.
Class VII Sustainment Base Production —Assessment of planned vs. actual pro- duction for major item depot programs.
Class VII Army Equipment Loss—Vis- ibility of Army equipment losses and timeliness of disposition instructions.
Class IX Enterprise Inventory Visibility— Quantity on hand and ownership info- rmation for Army repair parts and components across the enterprise.
Class IX Non-Mission Capable Supply—Visibility and analysis of repair parts dead-lining major items.
Class IX Readiness Supply Perfor- mance—How the supply chain is performing for critical repair parts affecting system readiness.
Class IX Secondary Item Production— Planned vs. actual production for Class IX reparable programs.
