Our system is in its early years, and we are grooming it—making it “hum.” We are a world-class organization, and all world- class organizations should be able to pass a financial audit. We will leverage ERP to achieve this goal, because logisticians of the future have to give appropriators of the future the confidence to fund us so that we can sustain our operating forces. If an appropriator thinks we’re inefficient or are wasting funds in this harsh budget environment, we will not be successful. Hence,


the sooner a logistician under-


stands Navy ERP’s functionality and embraces its value, the more likely it is she or he will be successful.


JOINT LOGISTICS SUPPORT THE WARFIGHTER

Te Navy has a phrase, the “PESTOF Pillar,” which stands for people, equipment, supplies, training, ordnance, and facilities. It encompasses both infrastructure and shore support and explains how the interrelations of the different pillars affect the readiness and operational effectiveness of a weapon system. Because our future logisticians will be


involved in every


will help cultivate these efficiencies and innovations. Our junior logisticians are developing with more Joint and Coali- tion experience than in the past, and as our supply chains and operations become increasingly Joint, these young logisti- cians are nurturing a broad tool set that far exceeds the knowledge that I had as a junior member of our military-civilian- contractor logistics team.


In order to stand out among the best who adhere


planning to these principles,


logisticians must embrace our Navy enterprise resource


(ERP)


system and its importance to the future of naval logistics. Navy ERP is a SAP- based supply chain software solution that delivers efficient and effective


global supply logistics support to Naval and Joint warfighters. Navy ERP also enables us to understand where every dollar


is spent, to make cost-wise


decisions across NAVSUP’s business lines of operation, to improve program management and asset utilization, and, critically, to provide transparent and auditable financial records.


area of the PESTOF Pillar, ADM Bill Gortney, Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, has coined the “Readiness Kill Chain.” Te idea is that one missing link in the PESTOF Pillar can break the chain. Logisticians should consider this concept from another vantage point: Te more value you add, the more relevant you are to your shareholders—fellow logisticians, your


customers, the Department of


Defense, our private industry partners, and taxpayers.


Ethics


“EVEN WHEN THEY THINK NO ONE IS WATCHING, WHEN THEY THINK IT DOESN’T MATTER, THAT IS PROBABLY WHEN THEIR INTEGRITY MATTERS MOST.”


are critical! More


than anything else, when we talk about the next generation of logisticians, they must


leverage decision-making ethical every day.


Tis means choosing the right course every time they encounter a tough decision.
