Opportunities Abound!

Ms . Lori Leffler, A-35 Chair Manager, US Government Sales, The Hertz Corporation

A-35ers can look forward to a new way to participate in NDTA activities this summer. The Association is bringing back the idea of smaller regional meetings. The pilot event, an educational and training Regional Conference, is scheduled for June 26 and 27, 2008, in Hershey, PA, and will be hosted by the Atlantic Region and the Washington, DC, and Central Pennsylvania Chapters. Records show that regional meetings, in addition to the yearly Forum, were very popular in the 70s and 80s. Then, as now, NDTA realized that significant numbers of members could not attend the annual Forum because of time, distance, and expense. To solve the problem, NDTA produced regional conferences throughout the country and overseas. At their peak, there were 10 to 12 events in addition to the annual Forum being held each year.

A recent meeting of the Forum and Education Committee called by NDTA Vice President Greg Reid and chaired by NDTA Vice Chairman of the Board VADM Gordon Holder unanimously voted to bring the regional concept back for 2008. Primary support for the idea came about as a way to fulfill a goal of USTRANSCOM. The command asked NDTA to explore ways of providing more training and professional education opportunities to its employees. Smaller regional events seemed to be one way to assist USTRANSCOM while providing an additional opportunity to extend NDTA’s educational and networking benefits to more members than we could reach through the annual forum alone.

The committee designated the Atlantic Region and Hershey, PA, as the location for the first pilot program to be held this summer. Results will help determine the scope, location, and format of future events. Education Chairman Professor Irvin Varkonyi and Dr. Richard Young, Penn State University, are developing a CEU program in conjunction with US-

TRANSCOM, and NDTA Headquarters will be exploring other appropriate topics to add to the professional program. A35ers have been asked to contribute their thoughts and ideas for the meeting.

In particular, the committee is looking for format, program, and promotional ideas that would incentivize A-35 members to attend the June meeting. One suggestion was to hold the professional sessions on a Friday and then provide reduced rates at the Hershey area attractions to encourage attendees to extend their visit over the weekend. This combination business/leisure format is one of the ideas being pursued by the planning committee. Another is a separate A-35 mentoring event that would give A-35er’s one-on-one time with Senior Leadership. They would like us to contribute input on any aspect of the concept that would make it more attractive for A-35 members to participate. For example, price ranges for registration, starting and ending times, program topics and features, guest speakers—in fact, input on all aspects of the event. Work is just starting, so now is the time for us to make our thoughts known. If you have the time and interest, I invite you to contact me with your ideas or to personally attend future planning meetings with me at NDTA Headquarters. DTJ

“Amateurs study tactics; professionals study

IThe Hawaii Superferry

Dr . Kent N . Gourdin, Editor DTJ Director, Global Logistics and Transportation Program College of Charleston

have been watching with interest the trials and tribulations besetting the Hawaii Superferry as the company attempts to establish inter-island service between Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. Given that the only other option is to fly, the ability to move people and vehicles between the islands would seem like an idea whose time has come. Unfortunately, a lot of folks in Hawaii don’t share that view.

At 349 feet in length, the $85 million vessel can carry 866 passengers and more than 200 cars and trucks on the three hour voyage between Honolulu and Maui or Kauai.

The US-built Alakai (Hawaiian for “ocean path”) is a double-hulled catamaran design, as is a second vessel planned for 2009, which will allow additional service to the big island of Hawaii. The intent was, and is, to transport residents, tourists, and freight on daily crossings utilizing comfortable, fuelefficient vessels at a reasonable rate.

Unfortunately, the protests began long before the ferry arrived in Hawaii last summer. Environmentalists worried about the effect on migrating humpback whales and the potential for transporting invasive species, successfully arguing that the company needed to file an environmental impact statement before launching service. Though the state legislature stepped in to allow the ferry to operate while the review was being completed, local residents on Kauai and Maui protested that the ferry would bring more people, vehicles, and, ultimately, development to their islands that they did not want. In fact, protestors on surfboards and outrigger canoes initially blockaded Kauai’s Nawiliwili harbor, preventing the ship from docking.

In addition, the service suffered from operational teething problems as well. Despite computer-controlled stabilizers and other features designed to smooth the ship’s ride, service had to be suspended 11 days in less than two months due to rough winter seas. Another problem is that rid-

ership has been significantly lower than initially projected perhaps due at least in part to the publicity surrounding the cancellations and the resultant disruption to travel plans faced by stranded passengers.

Certainly these kinds of “hiccups” affect every new venture, but transportation projects must cope with an inordinate number of external issues that have nothing to do with the business itself. We have certainly seen it here in Charleston with respect to port expansion, and I have opined in a previous column that the Interstate Highway System probably could not be built today for similar reasons. While the negative impacts of any undertaking must be addressed, I think that we, as a nation, lack the mechanisms to realistically balance those with the attendant positive benefits. Naturally, government could err too much the other way as well. When I arrived at Osan Air Base, Korea in the mid 1970s, the road to the main gate

was a narrow, winding, congested thoroughfare that ran right through the middle of the adjoining town. The government decided at some point that a new road was needed, so they simply built it. People were moved out, buildings leveled, pavement laid, and . . . voila . . . instant road!! I remember being in awe of the speed with which that project was completed. I even admit to being a little envious over the years as I’ve recalled that event while listening to people rail against various transport projects for what often seem to me to be spurious reasons.

In my more rational moments, I do realize that there can be strong reasons NOT to do something as well. Unfortunately, both the positive and negative impacts of transportation projects can take a long time to manifest themselves and I worry sometimes that we’re inclined to throw out the baby with the bathwater with some of these decision. I hope that doesn’t happen with the Superferry. DTJ

PRESIDENT’S CORNER

TLTG Ken Wykle, USA (Ret .) NDTA President

his is our almanac issue of the DTJ. I keep it on my desk as a reference and use it frequently. It contains valuable reference information: the names, contact information, and descriptions of the major military and government organizations with which our members do business. This year there are several new entries to this section: the Defense Transportation Management Office (DTMO) and the US Fleet Forces Command, for starters. The corporate member section includes company profiles and listings of key individuals. When you are seeking a particular type of service always start with this section. NDTA member companies offer a wide range of transportation, logistics, distribution, travel, and related services and are eager to share knowledge with fellow members. This is also a good reference source when seeking team members in response to a government or industry request for proposal. The last section provides a directory of the NDTA Board of Directors, National Officers, the NDTA Regional Organization, and NDTA profile. I find this section especially useful when seeking a point of contact in a specific geographical area or various types of NDTA metrics—number of individual members, corporate membership statistics, or Forum trends. Familiarize yourself with the contents of this issue and retain it as a quick reference document.

This DTJ also contains interesting short articles to reflect on the past and stimulate our interest in the future. “Patriotic Poses” depicts the power of individuals when grouped together to convey a message. Look at these photos carefully and imagine the logistics involved to capture the design. “The Design of American Heraldry” helps us better understand our

history and the morale and esprit derived from the accomplishments of those who have gone before us. The article even sheds perspective on a prestigious award presented to one of our own—Wim van der Stek, Benelux Chapter, who was recently honored with Belgium’s prestigious “Officer in the Order of King Leopold I.” Also included is an excellent article by XIO Strategies, “State of the DODAIT Union.” While the article points out that there are no “silver bullets,” there are applications to improve efficiencies and productivity.

Early in 2008 I had the opportunity to travel to Asia with the United Seamen’s Service. During the trip, I had the privilege of visiting three NDTA Chapters— Korea, Japan, and Guam. I can report that the chapters have great leadership, enthusiastic members, and are actively involved in their communities. Additionally I met with senior US civilian political and military leaders in each location. I was impressed by the investments being made in transportation infrastructure. Korea is constructing two new ocean ports—Busan New Port and Gwangyang. These new ports will have about 16 additional berths each. Korea is in the process of completing a high speed rail line from Seoul to Busan and just completed a new international airport in Busan. The Eighth US Army is repositioning forces south of the Hahn River and consolidating in the Camp Humphries area. Japan is planning a major expansion of the Minami Honmoku Pier in the port of Yokohama and has agreed to the relocation of about eight thousand US Marines from Okinawa and the closure of several bases on the island. Guam is preparing to receive the US Marines being relocated

from Japan. Planning is underway for the construction of the base facilities required to house and support the Marines along with additional US Forces being moved to Guam. The increase in US Forces on Guam will place more strain on the existing island infrastructure and will, most likely, require considerable new investments. Two NDTA corporate members, Horizon Lines and Matson Navigation Company, are working together to upgrade the container cranes and increase port throughput capability. The trip was professionally rewarding and a great opportunity to meet and speak with our many NDTA members in the Pacific Rim. I want to express my thanks to the United Seaman’s Service for the opportunity to travel as a member of their delegation, and to Ms. Karen Schmitt, the DTJ Managing Editor, for the great work in preparing this annual almanac edition.

To all of our industry members, government organizations, Board of Directors, Regional Presidents, and Chapters, thank you for the work you do every day in support of our great Nation. DTJ

“Living

Photographs” from MOLE & THOMAS

by Karen Schmitt

The DTJ Almanac, NDTA’s signature publication, represents membership demographics, Chapter achievements, and profiles of military associates and corporate patrons—our collective energy, so to speak. As I was preparing for this issue, a friend sent a photo by email that caught me by surprise. “You won’t believe this . . . probably another urban myth!” The photo was an image of the Statue of Liberty composed entirely of WWI soldiers stationed at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa.

After some research, I learned that an original photo was located at the Library of Congress, part of a portfolio presented to Joseph Daniels, Secretary of the Navy (1862-1948). I made an appointment to view the whole set. The images of soldiers, marines, and “bluejackets”—awaiting assignment to battlefields in Europe, I supposed— were captivating. Standing side by side, proud and brave, they revealed a collective force from times gone by, one ready to safeguard freedoms just as NDTA members and associates do today.

Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas made these “living photographs,” to use Mole’s terminology, to boost the war effort and public morale. No matter what your first impression—curiosity, shock, or doubt—their work definitely captures attention.

Arthur Mole (1889-1983) was a British-born commercial photographer based in Zion, Illinois. During and shortly after World War I, he traveled with his partner John Thomas from one military camp to another, posing thousands of soldiers into gigantic patriotic symbols that they photographed from above. Their bird’s eye view formations depicted familiar icons such as the Statue of Liberty, the Marine Corps emblem, and the Liberty Bell, its crack prominently configured, hinting at Mole’s concern with detail. The pair typically spent a week or more preparing for the portraits, which were taken with an 11-by-14-inch view camera. Their work soon served as a rallying point to support American involvement in the war.

Mole met Thomas at the Zion Tabernacle, a structure that could seat up to 10,000 people. John Thomas was the church choir director and later the “choreographic director” for the patriotic poses. He was a natural fit for the project.

When making the group photos, they first traced the symbolic shape on a ground-glass plate mounted on Mole’s camera. Then it was outlined on the field with fabric staked to the ground where the group would assemble. A sample section within the outline was used to calculate the total number of men needed to fill in the whole space. Next, it was determined

NOTE: This list only notes military formations of national emblems, although Mole and Thomas also prepared group images according to other themes (religious icons, for example) Troop numbers, as listed, were provided from Library of Congress records available with the images .

Needless to say, it took many hours to position the troops, who often endured sweltering heat in standard issue wool uniforms. The Lady Liberty photo involved some 2000 men for the body (seen in the foreground) and nearly eight times as many for the torch (barely visible in the far upper reaches of the photo) to convey believable perspective. This photo was taken before the soldiers were shipped out to France for World War I. The Gold Star Military Museum at Camp Dodge, Iowa, has an original print.

Any large group could have been used to compose a patriotic image, but stationing servicemen within the grid

If attempts were made to recreate patriotic portraits today, how would they measure up? Efforts to produce Lady Liberty at Scott Air Force Base, for example, would fall severely short if USTRANSCOM headquarters alone were called into action (currently, 1030 Active Duty and Reserve Components serve at headquarters). In 1917-18, the Mole and Thomas metric required 18,000 people—the greatest concentration positioned farthest from the photographers. So even if the entire military population of Scott Air Force base joined in (7829 Active Duty, Reserve Component, and National Guard as of the ’05 EIS), the image would lack substantial portions of the Liberty’s raised arm and her hallmark torch that lights our way.

who would wear dark uniforms and who would wear light colored ones to mimic the black and white photographic tones.

Mole directed the crowd by megaphone from a tower built just for this purpose (as high as 80 feet). He moved the “human pixels” into position by means of voice commands, grossly animated gestures, and a flag for pointing directions. Close ups of photo sections are especially endearing since it’s possible to pick out a nod here, a conversation between friends there. Descendants have been able to spot loved ones standing in the front rows.

underscored the fact that numerous troops were on the front lines. The American populace was, for the most part, unaware of how many troops had shipped overseas, which added to the powerful impact.

Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, USA Chief of Transportation Service at the time, reported, “During the first month of war, there was dispatched abroad 1,718 personnel pertaining to the Army . . . When the armistice was signed the total embarkations amounted to approximately 2,100,000 troops and marines.” Pondering the logistics of assembling a couple thousand men on a base field for a photo shoot

was challenge enough, but think of what it took to actually send soldiers to battle. According to Hines, “Among the many things the US was wholly unprepared to do [upon entry into World War I] was that of moving a large force overseas. Our Navy stood third among the great naval forces, but our transport fleet stood last.”

Eventually, other photographers were inspired by the “living photograph” technique, like Eugene Omar Goldbeck. But in peacetime, and with “less motivation for military officials to cooperate,” the Mole and Thomas model lost its influence. Likewise, modern history books seem to prefer the documentary style photos of life (and death) in the trenches over the home spun pictorials from Mole and Thomas. Copies do pop up online since so many pictures were originally made. Many Americans had purchased photos as a patriotic statement, and Mole was quick to offer photos for sale to everyone who had posed. But before you judge his actions as “capitalistic,” it should be noted that he did not prosper. Mole and Thomas donated the entire income to the families of the returning soldiers and to this country’s efforts to re-build their lives as a part of the re-entry process—another parallel to NDTA members who give so much in support of the warfighter.

An Interview with Charles V. Mugno

The subject of heraldry conjures vibrant images of colorful family crests, lavish medals, military insignia, and political correctness. But heraldry also applies to NDTA member trademarks and our Association logo as well. The following interview with Charles V. Mugno, Director, Heraldic Services and Support Division at the Institute of Heraldry, sheds light on what lies behind the design and makes a fitting contribution to this issue of the DTJ where corporate logos and organizational emblems are proudly displayed on Almanac pages. We express sincere thanks to AIGA, the professional association for design, for rights to reprint.

Charles Mugno, director of the Institute of Heraldry, holds up a presidential seal that was designed at the institution.

Charles V. Mugno, Director, Heraldic Services and Support Division at the Institute of Heraldry, is largely responsible for conceiving and fabricating the emblems that say “America.” For a nation that was born of rebellion against the entrenched traditions of Europe, the idea of heraldry—as representing an aristocracy—is a bit of a paradox. And starting with Betsy Ross’ decidedly modern American flag, this nation, like any

Heraldry: the use of symbols, colors, and metals, such as gold and silver, to identify a specific individual, unit, or organization.

other, demanded a language of emblems and seals that galvanized the populace and symbolized its values and virtues. In this interview, Mr. Mugno discusses the forms and functions of this special, yet ubiquitous, form of design.

Heller: Military insignia are born of heraldic traditions, but so many of them are decidedly modern. What inspiration (or background) material do you rely on to design a military symbol?

Mugno: The history, lineage, location, mission, and branch affiliation are the primary focus in the design of insignia. We are provided specific information by the customer (eg, a military unit or government agency) such as a motto if they chose to use one, specific colors associated with the unit/ agency, a mascot or symbol they are using, or even a design created by the customer through a contest to promote esprit de corps among its members. For Navy and Coast Guard ships, we use information provided by the commander about the type of vessel and the origin of the ship’s name. We thoroughly research all aspects of potential design elements using our extensive library located on premises, internet resources, and information provided by the customer. When the insignia is for a newly organized unit and there is no history to consider, you will see “art imitating life,”

and more contemporary abstract patterns may be used to establish an identity.

Heller: Is there a uniquely American style for designing crests and seals for government and military?

Mugno: Heraldry is extremely traditional in its approach. American heralds, for the most part, follow Western European practices. This is evident in designs for coats of arms and crests for organizational colors (flags). There are many symbols used, however, that are uniquely American and connect our history to Native Americans, such as the use of the bald eagle, American corn, wheat, cactus, and other elements symbolic of our heritage. The use of 13 stars to represent the 13 original colonies or 50 stars to represent the 50 states is also common.

Heller: Are there guidelines that you must follow? And are these set in stone or carried out in an informal manner?

Mugno: The first rule of heraldry is that color on color or metal on metal is not permitted. In addition, there are specific requirements, limitations, and restrictions concerning overall size, number of colors, and design elements allowed for a particular seal, flag, badge, patch, or distinguishing insignia. Distinctive unit insignia (an enameled metal pin worn by soldiers),

The Anatomy of the NDTA Logo

The current NDTA logo hasn’t changed much since its introduction in 1946. It includes an eagle (prowess) grasping olive branches (peace) and arrows (war), a national symbol since 1782. The celestial sphere centered on its body conveys a global sense of mission. Encircled by an olive branch wreath and crowned by the letters, “NDTA,” the overall design imitates the original Army Transportation emblem, dated to 1944. In 1984, NDTA members were asked if the logo accurately represented their Association—the partnership between industry and government; the multi-modal character of its members; or its support of defense and national security. Today’s members might wonder if the logo reveals the joint operational direction our armed services have taken or the combined processes of transportation, distribution, and supply chain management that currently define the DOD’s logistics enterprise.

coats of arms (on a flag), and shoulder sleeve insignia (patch) for an organization can share a color scheme and some design elements, but cannot be identical. The patch is the simplest of the three, using just three or four colors and usually not more than three symbols to depict the organization. Simple designs are the most notable and least likely to require change or revision in the future. For example, a few of the most recognized cloth insignia for Army units include the First Infantry Division, a red numeral one embroidered on an olive drab irregular shield shape; the First US Army, a black block letter “A” on a rectangle divided white and red by the

cross bar of the block letter; and the flag of the US Army Corps of Engineers, a white castle on a red background. These designs are simple, timeless, and readily identify the organization.

Heller: When a new symbol is conceived— say for something like Homeland Security—what is the design brief, and how do you go about solving the problem?

Mugno: When tasked with a new project, we gather as much information as possible about the mission or purpose of the organization, as well as specific design elements that are desired. A blank canvas is rare because even when an organization is open to anything, it is usually followed by “except for . . .” and they are suddenly able to articulate things they do not want represented.

As previously mentioned, thorough research plays a key role in developing the best design. Government agencies and military commands often present the added difficulty of “design by committee,” which involves multiple levels of individuals who believe their views and opinions need to be considered. The heraldic artist must take the very best visual information available and create a strong design that can stand the test of time for the organization, not the individuals who have been tasked with getting a symbol or design for the organization.

Heller: Some symbols seem to never change. I understand that the president’s seal has only changed once since Harry Truman was president. Is there ever a time when such key symbols are considered for alteration?

Mugno: Symbols like the presidential seal are so timeless that every image, every color, and every position has meaning, and the authenticity is lost with changes. Change for the sake of change is not a mindset of the heraldic artist or anyone who appreciates the significance of having a seal, coat of arms, or insignia. As a rule, the strength of an emblem correlates to its years of use; standing the test of time gives authenticity.

Heller: Are symbols reviewed on a regular basis? I know that these become so charged that change is difficult, but have there been instances where history or politics necessitate change?

Mugno: No; if it is determined that an insignia or design is incorrect or some element of it is now considered offensive, then it will be changed. Recently, several ROTC and Junior ROTC units requested changes to their patches because their schools made a decision to change their Native American mascots to other identifiers. Sometimes the motto for a unit might need to be changed because it is no longer accurate. For example, with the growing number of women serving side by side with men, the motto “Fighting Men” would require change as well as any insignia where it appeared. An unchanged insignia lends to its legitimacy, just as the

attributes it portrays are regarded as timeless; no fashion trends, political winds, or personal taste should be allowed to override established work.

Heller: How much iteration must a designer go through before nailing the perfect image? And what is the approval policy like?

Mugno: It’s not as much about “nailing the perfect image” as symbolizing the organization in a way that tells the story, states the mission, and further defines the unit or organization. The back-and-forth continued on page 128

Officer in the Order of King Leopold I

The “Officer in the Order of King Leopold I” is Belgium’s oldest and most prestigious order, having been presented by King Leopold I for the first time in 1832. It consists of a military, a maritime, and a civilian division and is awarded for extreme bravery in combat or for meritorious service of immense benefit to the Belgian nation. It cannot be granted to a person before the age of 40.

The badge shows a white-enameled Maltese Cross (on silver for the Knight class or on gold for the higher classes), with a green enameled wreath of laurel and oak leaves. The central disc features a lion; the monogram “LR” (“Leopold Rex”) is stated on the reverse. The motto, “Unity Is Strength” (in French, L’union fait la force) and in Dutch (Eendracht maakt macht) encircles the disc; a crown, with crossed swords or anchors underneath it, depending on the division, tops the badge. The imagery symbolizes power and authority based on ancient heroes and legendary deeds. (See “Chapter News” – Benelux, pg .121 for related story)

YOU NEED TO FEED THE FORCES.

YOU NEED JAMES JONES.

When does Agility’s James Jones consider a job done? When the fill-rate for feeding the forces in Iraq surpasses the contract requirement? When a distribution depot becomes operational in Kuwait? For James, and over 29,000 more Agility employees in over 100 countries around the world, success isn’t measured in orders filled or deadlines met. Success occurs when our partners achieve their goals. It’s an intimate approach to logistics that demands individual attention and personal ownership. It’s how James Jones brings Agility to feeding the forces.

State of the DOD-AIT Union

XIO Strategies’ survey assesses the adoption of technology in the DOD supply chain . by James Clark, COO, XIO Strategies

As can be seen during the course of any industry conference, executives, program directors, and logistics managers continually explore new frontiers of Automatic Identification Technology (AIT)—assessing the latest tools to improve their asset visibility and operational efficiency and to cut costs. There is no “silver bullet,” but a better understanding of how AIT is being deployed within the DOD supply chain will help them to better position their organization to build upon the lessons learned and prepare for further process improvement.

In late 2007, XIO Strategies (XIO) conducted an AIT-oriented survey across the DOD and supplier community to determine the prevalence, deployment needs, and future spending priorities in the supply chain arena. AIT refers to a suite of enabling technologies used by the DOD, commercial enterprises, and other organizations to facilitate streamlined data processes through electronic data capture. Some of these technologies, like barcodes, have been around for 30 years or more; others, such as passive RFID, are relatively new. For this survey, XIO defined AIT to include:

• Active RFID (aRFID)

• Contact Memory Buttons (CMB)

• Item Unique Identification (IUID/ UID)

• Optical Memory Cards (OMC)

• Passive RFID (pRFID)

• Smart Cards

Each has been defined by DOD as being either a primary or supporting AIT in the DOD supply chain. Traditional linear barcodes are well established and the survey did not include them in order to highlight newer technologies.

SURVEY DEMOGRAPHICS

Once results were tallied, 42% of the survey respondents were from within the DOD or its direct contractor or supplier organizations, with an additional 29% from related Manufacturing or Transportation/Logistics industries. Remaining respondents generally identified themselves as Systems Integrators or Consultants. Additionally, 77% are currently in executiveor management-level positions, and more than half were from organizations with more than 2500 employees.

In order to structure the questions and the resulting data, XIO divided the supply chain into the following distinct operational nodes or functions: Receiving, Manufacturing/Production, Inventory Management, Shipping/Transportation, Customer Delivery, Retail, and Maintenance/Repair.

AIT MEDIA IN USE

Respondents were first asked to identify which of the technologies were currently in use in their organizational supply chain (See Figure 1). IUID, pRFID, and aRFID were the most often used AIT media in this survey; XIO believes this is due, at least in part, to the following factors:

• RFID and IUID mandates requiring RFID tags on shipments and IUID

Data Matrix barcodes on serially managed assets.

• Dissemination of newer contracts with DFARS clauses requiring pRFID and IUID marking.

Further, no single technology is being used by more than half of the respondents, and 37% selected “No AIT.”

Taking a closer look at AIT adoption in the supply chain, XIO found that more than half of the respondents (63%) have deployed some form of AIT. Of those that have, 60% have adopted more than one. This may be due to:

• Current technology data constraints, eg, the current EPC pRFID construct does not yet adequately address the data requirements of IUID.

• Some technologies, eg, the Data Matrix barcode (IUID) and the Contact Memory Button, are more “ruggedized” and therefore better suited to permanent identification of an asset.

• Organizations have not generally assessed the supply chain holistically from an AIT perspective, but rather addressed specific problems with specific technologies.

• Those organizations that have completed an AIT implementation may be

better prepared to adopt other types of AIT to further improve supply chain processes.

THIRD PARTY VENDOR SERVICES

XIO next sought to identify how organizations proceed with their deployments, by assessing the use of 3rd party vendor services. The majority that used third party vendors for AIT implementation had chosen providers for their hardware, software, and data integration services, as well as training support (See Figure 2).

Fifteen percent of respondents have not used a 3rd party vendor, possibly associated with large companies that have inhouse services or small companies that have not begun adoption.

Coupled with the follow-on question, which identified the top two factors guiding vendor selection as Technical Expertise and Implementation Experience, it is clear vendors with a proven technical ability to manage or support AIT deployment have a marketing advantage. And, with Cost ranking as the fourth selection criteria, organizations are indicating their pref-

erence for experienced providers that can get the job done at a reasonable value.

AIT SPENDING PRIORITIES

In order to demonstrate market needs and priorities, respondents were asked to indicate how their AIT budget will be allocated in the coming year. For those placing a Major or Moderate priority on AIT-related spending over the next year, the top three business areas expected to receive priority were Staff/User Training, Infrastructure, and Business Planning.

These priorities align with the earlier findings that identified the resource capabilities that organizations are seeking in potential 3rd party vendors and points to potential qualifiers and discriminators in vendor selection.

To further clarify spending priorities, respondents were asked to rank their priorities against the previously defined points in the supply chain (See Figure 3). For those respondents making a Major or Moderate investment over the next year, the top three spending priorities are in Customer Delivery, Shipping/Transportation, and Maintenance/Repair.

Data indicate that Customer Delivery will be one of the next supply chain processes examined for business process improvements and AIT insertion. It also suggests that the high usage areas of Shipping/ Transportation and Maintenance/Repair will continue to be a high priority by either sustaining or expanding current projects.

CONCLUSIONS

Automatic Identification Technology has and will continue to make its mark on targeted areas of the DOD supply chain, particularly those that have been mandated. However, no one technology will solve all challenges, and AIT should be aligned to fit the affected processes. As AIT capabilities continue to mature and as organizations continue to explore possibilities, the impact of AIT will be even more significant. XIO believes there are several initiatives that can improve the probability of successful deployment, including:

Leveraging the benefits of lessons learned, both from within the organization and from the outside community

An increasing pool of knowledge and talent can only serve to benefit those deploying AIT in the DOD supply chain.

Embracing the benefits of a formalized change management program

Change Management is a structured approach to address the “human side” of organizational transformation. By proactively managing changes in technology, process, or business objectives that affect staff behavior, organizations will be better prepared to deploy AIT, and will meet with greater success.

Incorporating a relevant training program into the deployment plan to ensure staff is ready to maximize the benefits from AIT. By underestimating the importance of this crucial step, organizations may undermine their own programs, and reduce or negate the ROI from these strategic initiatives. DTJ

ORGANIZATION AND MISSION

USTRANSCOM’s core competencies are evolving beyond planning and executing inter-theater transportation. Since 2003, USTRANSCOM has been responsible for the synchronization and interoperability of distribution-related activities supporting force projection, sustainment, and redeployment/retrograde of military forces and materiel.

USTRANSCOM’s assigned responsibilities are to:

www.transcom.mil

Gen Norton A. Schwartz, USAF Commander

• Provide common-user and commercial air, land, and sea transportation, terminal management, and aerial refueling

• Develop and implement global joint mobility sourcing solutions from all mobility forces and capabilities

• Serve as the Distribution Process Owner (DPO) for the DOD, overseeing the overall effectiveness, efficiency, and alignment of DODwide distribution activities

• Serve as the Mobility Joint Force Provider by identifying and recommending global joint sourcing solutions in coordination with the services and other combatant commanders

• Provide global patient movement for DOD through the Defense Transportation System

USTRANSCOM, located at Scott AFB, IL, is one of nine combatant commands. In 2003, when the Secretary of Defense assigned the DPO mission to the commander, USTRANSCOM, DOD acquired a single deployment and distribution entity to work with the Services and combatant commanders from origin or any point of supply to any Joint Force Commander-designated point of need. In May 2006, the Deputy Secretary of Defense redesignated USTRANSCOM as the DOD DPO, expanding upon USTRANSCOM’s mission of being the chief architect of the DOD’s global transportation enterprise. In accomplishing this expanded mission, USTRANSCOM will continue to innovate and use world-class

technology and commercial practices to support the warfighter while being a prudent steward of taxpayer dollars.

This new way of doing business calls for partnering with world-class transportation service providers to improve reliability, predictability, and efficiency of moving DOD materiel to anywhere in the world where there is a need.

The consolidation of responsibility under one process owner is aimed at realizing logistics efficiencies: eliminating existing seams between current distribution processes and standardizing the policies, vision, and performance goals in DOD’s supply chain; driving interoperable information technology solutions and enhancing total asset visibility to distribution customers; institutionalizing sustainment planning into our contingency response processes; and streamlining distribution accountability (providing an accountable person for the supported combatant commander to contact for their distribution needs). The DPO works with the Services and combatant commanders, using the best transformational concepts and ideas available.

USTRANSCOM executes its mission through three component commands. The US Army’s SDDC manages military land transportation and commonuser ocean terminals. The US Navy’s MSC is responsible for strategic sealift in support of worldwide deployment and sustainment of military forces. The US Air Force’s AMC provides global airlift, aerial refueling, and aeromedical evacuation support for peacetime and wartime military movement requirements.

USTRANSCOM is responsible for distribution aspects of worldwide mobility planning and centralized global distribution management. Included in global distribution management is the responsibility of the command to support rapid execution planning, deployment, employment, and sustainment of US forces throughout the world.

USTRANSCOM’s excellent relationship with the US commercial transportation industry allows DOD to augment organic capability and leverage significant capacity to meet both peacetime and wartime requirements. DTJ

The Air Mobility Command provides rapid global mobility and sustainment for our military and plays a crucial role in providing humanitarian support at home and around the world. The men and women of AMC active duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and civilians provide airlift and aerial refueling. Special duty and operational support aircraft and stateside aeromedical evacuation missions are also assigned to AMC.

United States forces must provide a rapid, tailored response with a capability to intervene against a well-equipped foe, hit hard, and terminate quickly. Rapid global mobility lies at the heart of this strategy—without capability to project forces, there is no conventional deterrent. As forces stationed overseas continue to decline, global interests remain, making the unique capabilities of AMC even more vital.

As US Transportation Command’s air component, AMC is the single manager for air mobility with one numbered air force, the 18th Air Force, headquartered at Scott AFB, Illinois; two expeditionary mobility task forces (EMTF), the 15th EMTF at Travis AFB, California, and the 21st EMTF at McGuire AFB, New Jersey; twelve active duty wings; and three active duty groups. Other units are the 618th Tanker Airlift Con-

trol Center and the Air Mobility Warfare USAF Expeditionary Center. Airlifters provide the capability to deploy our armed forces options.

National Command Authorities have called upon AMC to support major contingencies and humanitarian operations. From providing fuel, supplies, and aeromedical support to troops on the frontlines, to providing supplies to victims of natural disaster at home and abroad, AMC has been engaged almost nonstop since its inception. Additionally, AMC has supported peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Cambodia, Somalia, Rwanda, and Haiti and continues to play a vital role in the Global War on Terrorism.

As the Air Force transitions to an expeditionary mindset, AMC will remain crucial to the Expeditionary Aerospace Force as a force enabler and force provider—primarily because of the expanding need for centralized command and control of a highly expeditionary force. The reactivation of the 18th AF and the creation of the Expeditionary Mobility Task Forces (EMTF) fulfill a vision that began with the creation of AMC. Under the new structure, a cleaner reporting chain puts the 18th AF in operational control of the 618th Tanker Airlift Control Center (TACC), two EMTFs and their subordinate air mobility operations groups, 12 wings, three groups, and the global en route air mobility system. The 18th AF is responsible for the presentation of air mobility and support forces to combatant commanders. Realignment also clarifies the delineation of mission execution through the 18th AF, responsible for war fighting and mission execution, and the AMC staff responsible for the functions of organizing, training and equipping mobility forces, as well as creating policy for the command.

The Navy’s Military Sealift Command provides ocean transportation for DOD cargo to sustain US forces worldwide during peacetime and in war. More than 90 percent of all the equipment and supplies needed to sustain the US military are carried by sea. MSC also operates Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force ships that replenish and support the Navy fleet at sea as well as Special Mission ships that serve as atsea platforms for various federal government agencies.

MSC operates approximately 110 ships on a daily basis and has access to more than 60 additional ships either kept in reduced operating status by MSC or maintained by the US Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration in the Ready Reserve Force. Headquartered in Washington, DC, MSC has a workforce of more than 9000 people and six major subordinate commands worldwide. Military Sealift Fleet Support Command in Norfolk, VA, crews, trains, equips, and maintains MSC’s government-owned, government-operated ships around the globe. In addition, five operational commands support the operations of all MSC ships within their area of respon-

sibility: Sealift Logistics Command Atlantic in Norfolk, VA; Sealift Logistics Command Pacific in San Diego, CA; Sealift Logistics Command Europe in Naples, Italy; Sealift Logistics Command Central in Manama, Bahrain; and Sealift Logistics Command Far East in Singapore.

MSC reports to US Transportation Command at Scott Air Force Base, IL, for Department of Defense transportation matters, providing sealift for combat equipment and humanitarian aid cargo as required.

MSC also reports to United States Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, VA, for Navy-unique matters. In this capacity, MSC’s Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force ships and Special Mission ships support the Navy’s fleet operations worldwide.

Lastly, MSC reports to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition as a contracting authority and for procurement policy and oversight matters.

MAJOR INITIATIVES

MSC continues to move military cargo and supplies used by deployed US and coalition forces, strategically preposition combat cargo at sea around the world, conduct specialized missions and replenish US ships at sea. The command just began operating a new platform—MV VADM K.R. Wheeler—for an innovative offshore petroleum distribution system that can pump fuel to troops from up to eight miles offshore. Soon, the command will operate the Navy’s submarine tenders, requiring the recruitment of additional civilian mariners, returning sailors to their warfighting duties and saving money. Military Sealift Command and her maritime industry partners deliver. DTJ

the tailored support they require. The Agency continues its close collaboration with the Office of Secretary of Defense, USTRANSCOM, and the services’ logistical commands on several Joint Logistics initiatives:

• RFID technology implementation is enabling hands-off processing of materiel transactions, allowing DLA to re-allocate critical manpower resources and streamline business processes.

• One of DLA’s most significant information technology and business process re-engineering efforts was the replacement of legacy materiel management systems with commercial-off-the-shelf software. DLA’s Business Systems Modernization (BSM) program introduced an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) supply chain management system that replaced legacy systems with state-of-the-art business processes and technology linking the entire supply chain from customer to supplier. This major transformational effort was completed July 2007. Future enhancements to the system, now referred to as the Enterprise Business System (EBS), will allow DLA to extend supply chain support further across the retail (consumer) level, in DOD, enhance financial processing, and begin an initiative to bring the EBS to the energy support supply chain. Deployment of DLA’s ERP this past year also allows the Agency to begin an initiative to replace its legacy

procurement system with an ERP module called eProcurement. All these initiatives will bring additional capabilities to the foundational EBS and will enable DLA to continue to enhance demand/supply planning, order fulfillment, procurement, and financial management.

• DLA’s Defense Distribution Center (DDC) is the leading provider of distribution support to America’s military including receiving, storing, and issuing supplies as well as other tailored services to increase warfighter readiness. The organization’s priorities include enhancing optimization, efficiency, and visibility throughout the distribution process. DDC operates 26 distribution centers around the world.

• DLA’s primary transformation goals include:

- Extending the agency’s capabilities forward—closer to the warfighter, at industrial sites and key military Service and Combatant Commander facilities around the world.

- Developing world-class Supply Chain Excellence to complement the agency’s wholesale excellence— connecting warfighter demand to the ultimate source of supply, the American industrial base.

- Enhancing resource stewardship—equal or better support to the warfighter with no net growth in the size of the agency, every business process scrubbed and a leaned-out business model.

- Completion of the portfolio existing transformational initiatives, eg, executing the BRAC 2005 decisions, the National Inventory Management Strategy, and Integrated Data Environment/Global Transportation Network Convergence effort, to name just a few.

Add these initiatives to ongoing endto-end services offered by the Defense Logistics Agency supply centers, service centers, and worldwide distributions depots, and it’s obvious that DLA is a busy place. DTJ

GEN Benjamin S. Griffin, USA Commanding General

The US Army Materiel Command (AMC) mission is to provide superior technology, acquisition support, and logistics to ensure dominant land force capability for Soldiers, the United States, and our Allies. The AMC mission supports the Army G-4 Focus Area to Connect Army Logisticians; to modernize theater distribution; to improve force reception; and to integrate the supply chain. Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, the AMC mission is accomplished through Life Cycle Management Commands, Major Subordinate Commands and staff agencies that direct the work of Army depots, arsenals, ammunition plants, laboratories, procurement operations and AMC-deployed personnel. Support is also provided to HQDA, PEO/PM, and, via contracts, to vendors worldwide. There are more than 53,000 dedicated AMC military, civilian, and contractor personnel who work at 149 locations worldwide, including 45 states and 38 countries.

The transportation mission includes directing and coordinating use of Department of Defense organic air and sealift, contracting vendors, and commercial transportation companies to move materiel to and from units, depots, and forward repair activities

world-wide. In addition, AMC has a Department of the Army charter for Army cargo-related transportation policy and procedures. AMC is directly supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) both in the theater of operations as well as in CONUS.

The transportation policy and procedures are formalized in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Federal and Defense Acquisition Regulations (F/ DAR), DOD Directives and Memorandums, Joint Department of Defense Component Regulations, Department of Army and Army Materiel Command Regulations, and formal agreements. All of this requires routine contact with the AMC community of transporters at Life Cycle Management Commands, Major Subordinate Commands, the Logistics Support Activity, the Army Staff, Army Major Commands (MACOMs), DLA, USTRANSCOM, Defense Contract Management Agency, and Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC). AMC transporters forecast requirements, defend, justify, budget, allocate, enforce, and verify resources to move weapon systems and supplies to and from Soldiers worldwide.

ORGANIZATION AND MISSION

US Fleet Forces Command (USFF) was originally established as Commander In Chief, US Atlantic Fleet (CINCLANTFLT) in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Located in Norfolk, Virginia, USFF fulfills a vital role in executing our nation’s commitment to security through a capable and ready Navy.

The command’s mission encompasses four major areas of responsibility:

1. Generate ready Navy forces for global employment, anytime and anywhere.

2. Provide operational planning and support to Combatant Commanders, to include executing missions assigned by Commander, US Northern Command; Commander, US Strategic Command; and Commander, US Joint Forces Command.

3. Determine future and current needs of the Fleet, advise the Chief of Naval Operations accordingly, and

Within the context of these missions, USFF directs and enables the safe and effective operation of Atlantic Fleet forces, defends the homeland from maritime threats, conducts disaster relief and recovery, and provides for defense support of civil authorities. A ready Fleet provides Navy Component Commanders the capability to establish global maritime superiority and the ability to deploy ashore for a spectrum of missions, if and when needed.

USFF performs Joint and Interagency Assignments, supports Navy Component Commands, and is made up of two Operational Fleets, six Force Providers, and five Service Providers.

JOINT AND INTERAGENCY ASSIGNMENTS

USFF is the Navy Component Commander to USJFCOM and the supporting Navy Commander to USNORTHCOM and USSTRATCOM. In supporting USNORTHCOM, USFF is the Joint Force Maritime Component Commander North (JFMCC NORTH). Additionally, USFF is assigned as the supporting Navy Component Commander to the National Security Agency, providing

services through Commander, Naval Network Warfare Command (NETWARCOM).

NAVY COMPONENT COMMANDS

USFF develops recommended global sourcing solutions to Combatant Commander requirements for general purpose forces, ad hoc forces, and individual augmentees in coordination with the four Navy Component Commands—Pacific Fleet, Naval Forces Europe, Naval Forces Central Command, and Naval Forces Southern Command—and other Navy Echelon II commands.

OPERATIONAL FLEETS

Commander, Second Fleet, and Commander, Third Fleet, are responsible for training integrated strike groups, developing concepts of operation (CONOPS) for current and near-term capabilities, and planning and operation of forces in support of USFF’s Maritime Homeland Defense mission. They also lead the Fleet Training Domain to manage the continuum of training—individual to unit to force—within USFF.

FORCE PROVIDERS

Force Commanders for surface, air, submarine, network warfare, and expeditionary combat forces report to USFF. They are responsible for manning, unitlevel training and equipping; long-term wholeness of platforms; and leadership of their communities. Military Sealift Command (MSC) is responsible for operating Fleet support ships and executing Fleet combat logistics support functions. MSC retains direct responsibility to UNTRANSCOM for DOD strategic sealift support.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

In addition to the force providers, subordinate USFF commands also provide key support services: assessment and inspection, meteorology and oceanography, ordnance management, warfighting doctrine, and maintenance. DTJ

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), headquartered in Mechanicsburg, PA, has primary responsibility for providing supply support to US Navy forces worldwide. With a worldwide civilian and military work force of over 25,500 people, NAVSUP meets this responsibility by performing a variety of logistics services including supply operations, contracting, resale, information systems, fuel, conventional ordnance, transportation, support services, and security assistance. NAVSUP sets the policies, prescribes the procedures, and evaluates performance in each of these areas. NAVSUP’s most important responsibility is the worldwide integrated Navy supply system, which gets the fleet what it needs, where and when it needs it. The Naval Inventory Control Point (NAVICP), with headquarters in Philadelphia, PA, and consisting of two sites (Mechanicsburg, PA, and Philadelphia, PA), along with six Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers (FISCs) aligned under Commander, Fleet and Industrial Supply Center, are the major activities in this system.

NAVICP exercises centralized control over 403,080 different line items

www.navsup.navy.mil

RADM Alan S. Thompson, SC, USN Commander and Chief of Supply Corps

of repair parts, components, and assemblies that keep ships, aircraft, and weapons operating. NAVICP also provides logistics and supply assistance to friendly and allied nations through the Foreign Military Sales program.

The FISCs provide a variety of logistics support services and products to Navy and other military customers in their respective regions. These products and services include material management, contracting, transportation, fuel services, customer service, hazardous materials management, household goods movement support, consolidated mail services, and supply consultation.

NAVSUP’s global warfighting capability support is focused in the areas of Navy-owned spare parts and component management, waterfront support coordination, ammunition management, petroleum, transportation support coordination, ship outfitting, and central design of supporting automated systems. NAVSUP provides support services for the management of several family-oriented support functions including the Navy Exchange and Navy Lodge management, Navy clothing and textile research, food service support, household goods support, and postal services.

NAVSUP is also one of the designated Navy Heads of Contracting Activities and is responsible for management of the Navy Field Contracting System, which includes more than 38 contracting activities and oversight of more than 800 purchase card programs. With contracting authority and technical policy

guidance from the command, these activities annually contract for more than $8.6 billion in supplies and services, while executing more than 135,000 individual contract actions.

The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM), headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA, oversees 107 Navy Exchange facilities and its 344 stores worldwide; 45 Navy Lodges; Ship’s Stores; Uniform Program Management Office; and Navy Family Support Programs. Revenues generated are used to support Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs. $2.5 billion in sales were generated in FY’06 with more than $40 million in profits provided to Navy MWR programs. Since its establishment in 1946, more than $2.2 billion in profits has been provided to Navy MWR programs.

NAVSUP provides information systems support through its Navy Supply Information Systems Activity (NAVSISA). NAVSISA is the Navy’s premier Central Design Agency with responsibility to design, develop, and maintain information systems supporting numerous shore activities in the functional areas of logistics, transportation, finance and accounting, and inventory math modeling.

DOT ADMINISTRATIONS

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees the safety of civil aviation. The safety mission of the FAA is first and foremost and includes the issuance and enforcement of regulations and standards related to the manufacture, operation, certification, and maintenance of aircraft. The agency is responsible for the rating and certification of airmen and for certification of airports serving air carriers. It also regulates a program to protect the security of civil aviation and enforces regulations under the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act for shipments by air. The FAA, which operates a network of airport towers, air route traffic control centers, and flight service stations, develops air traffic rules, allocates the use of airspace, and provides for the security control of air traffic to meet national defense requirements. Other responsibilities include the construction or installation of visual and electronic aids to air navigation and promotion of aviation safety internationally. The FAA, which regulates and encourages the US commercial space transportation industry, also licenses commercial space launch facilities and private sector launches.

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) coordinates highway transportation programs in cooperation with states and other partners to

enhance the country’s safety, economic vitality, quality of life, and the environment. Major program areas include the Federal-Aid Highway Program, which provides federal financial assistance to the States to construct and improve the National Highway System, urban and rural roads, and bridges. This program provides funds for general improvements and development of safe highways and roads. The Federal Lands Highway Program provides access to and within national forests, national parks, Indian reservations, and other public lands by preparing plans and contracts, supervising construction facilities, and conducting bridge inspections and surveys. The FHWA also manages a comprehensive research, development, and technology program.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration was established within the DOT on January 1, 2000, pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (Public Law No. 106-159, 113 Stat. 1748 [December 9, 1999]). Formerly a part of the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s primary mission is to prevent commercial motor vehicle–related fatalities and injuries. Administration activities contribute to ensuring safety in motor carrier operations through strong enforcement of safety regulations, targeting high-risk carriers and commercial motor vehicle drivers; improving safety information systems and commercial motor vehicle technologies; strengthening commercial motor vehicle equipment and operating standards; and increasing safety awareness. To accomplish these activities, the Administration works with Federal, state, and local enforcement agencies, the motor carrier industry, labor safety interest groups, and others.

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) promotes safe and environmentally sound rail transportation. With the responsibility of ensuring railroad

safety throughout the nation, the FRA employs safety inspectors to monitor railroad compliance with federally mandated safety standards including track maintenance, inspection standards, and operating practices. The FRA conducts research and development tests to evaluate projects in support of its safety mission and to enhance the railroad system as a national transportation resource. Public education campaigns on highway-rail grade crossing safety and the danger of trespassing on rail property are also administered by FRA.

Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) assists in developing improved mass transportation systems for cities and communities nationwide. Through its grant programs, FTA helps plan, build, and operate transit systems with convenience, cost, and accessibility in mind. Though buses and rail vehicles are the most common type of public transportation, other kinds include commuter ferryboats, trolleys, inclined railways, subways, and people movers. In providing financial, technical, and planning assistance, the agency provides leadership and resources for safe and technologically advanced local transit systems while assisting in the development of local and regional traffic reduction. The FTA maintains the National Transit library (NTL), a repository of reports, documents, and data generated by professionals and others from around the country. The NTL is designed to facilitate document sharing among people interested in transit and transit related topics.

Maritime Administration (MARAD)

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) promotes development and maintenance of an adequate, well-balanced United States merchant marine, sufficient to carry the Nation’s domestic waterborne commerce and a substantial portion of its waterborne foreign commerce and capable of serving as a naval and military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency. MARAD also seeks to ensure that the United States

enjoys adequate shipbuilding and repair service, efficient ports, effective intermodal water and land transportation systems, and reserve shipping capacity in time of national emergency.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is responsible for reducing deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA sets and enforces safety performance standards for motor vehicles and equipment and through grants to state and local governments enables them to conduct effective local highway safety programs. NHTSA investigates safety defects in motor vehicles, sets and enforces fuel economy standards, helps states and local communities reduce the threat of drunk drivers, promotes the use of safety belts, child safety seats, and air bags, investigates odometer fraud, establishes and enforces vehicle anti-theft regulations, and provides consumer information on motor vehicle safety topics. Research on driver behavior and traffic safety is conducted by NHTSA to develop the most efficient and effective means of bringing about safety improvements. A toll-free Auto Safety Hotline, 1-888-DASH-2-DOT, furnishes consumers with a wide range of auto safety information. Callers also can help identify safety problems in motor vehicles, tires, and automotive equipment such as child safety seats.

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration oversees the safety of more than 800,000 daily shipments of hazardous materials in the US and 64 percent of the nation’s energy that is transported by pipelines. PHMSA is dedicated solely to safety by working toward the elimination of transportationrelated deaths and injuries in hazardous materials and pipeline transportation and by promoting transportation solutions that enhance communities and protect the natural environment.

Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC)

The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) operates and maintains a safe, reliable, and efficient waterway for commercial and noncommercial vessels between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The SLSDC, in tandem with the Saint Lawrence Seaway Authority of Canada, oversees operations safety, vessel inspections, traffic control, and navigation aids on the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Important to the economic development of the Great Lakes region, SLSDC works to develop trade opportunities to benefit port communities, shippers and receivers, and related industries in the area.

Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA)

The Research & Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) is an agency whose mission is to identify and facilitate solutions to the challenges and opportunities facing America’s transportation system. RITA’s focus is to promote transportation research that will foster the use of innovative technology. RITA includes the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, an organization dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and responsiveness of other Federal organizations with critical transportation-related functions and missions. With responsibility for research policy and technology sharing, the agency partners with national and international organizations and universities. RITA also includes the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Transportation Safety Institute, the Office of Intermodalism, and the University Transportation Centers program.

Surface Transportation Board (STB)

The Surface Transportation Board is an

independent, bipartisan, adjudicatory body organizationally housed within the DOT. It is responsible for the economic regulation of interstate surface transportation, primarily railroads, within the United States. The STB’s mission is to ensure that competitive, efficient, and safe transportation services are provided to meet the needs of shippers, receivers, and consumers. The Board is charged with promoting, where appropriate, substantive and procedural regulatory reform in the economic regulation of surface transportation and with providing an efficient and effective forum for the resolution of disputes. The Board continues to strive to develop, through rulemakings and case disposition, new and better ways to analyze unique and complex problems, to reach fully justified decisions more quickly, to reduce the costs associated with regulatory oversight, and to encourage privatesector negotiations and resolutions to problems where appropriate

John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VOLPE)

We serve as a federal bridge for transportation expertise between industry, academia, and other government agencies so as to enhance the na-

tion’s capabilities to meet future transportation requirements.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS)

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) was born as a statistical agency in 1992. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 established BTS for data collection, analysis, and reporting and to ensure the most cost-effective use of transportationmonitoring resources. BTS brings a greater degree of coordination, comparability, and quality standards to transportation data, filling important gaps.

The Office of Intermodalism

The Office of Intermodalism was established in 1992 and is responsible for coordinating DOT projects, programs, and policies involving more than one mode of transportation. Intermodalism covers all of the issues and activities that may affect or involve more than one mode of transportation. It has several aspects:

• Connections: the convenient, rapid, efficient, and safe transfer of people or goods from one mode to another (including end-point pick-up and delivery) during a single journey to provide the highest quality and most comprehensive transportation service for its cost.

• Choices: the provision of transportation options through the fair and healthy competition for transportation business between different modes, independently or in combination.

• Coordination and Cooperation: collaboration among transportation organizations for the purpose of improving transportation services, quality, safety, and economy for all modes or combinations of modes in an environmentally sound manner. DTJ

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the central point of contact within the federal government for a wide range of emergency planning and response activities. It works closely with all levels of government and the emergency management community to improve the nation’s state of civil preparedness and ability to respond effectively to crises of all kinds. On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the new Department of Homeland Security, comprising the majority of the Emergency Preparedness and Response Directorate. FEMA has more than 2600 full time employees. They work at FEMA headquarters in Washington, DC, at regional and area offices across the country, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations

Center, and the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, MD. FEMA also has nearly 4000 standby disaster assistance employees who are available for deployment after disasters. Often FEMA works in partnership with other organizations that are part of the nation’s emergency management system. These partners include state and local emergency management agencies, 27 federal agencies, and the American Red Cross.

As it has for more than 20 years, FEMA’s mission remains: to lead America to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters with a vision of “A Nation Prepared.” At no time in its history has this vision been more important to the country than in the aftermath of September 11th. DTJ

Our logistics community faces change and challenge in the air, on land and at sea—and not only at home but beyond our borders as well. How do we balance infrastructure needs? How do we maintain our competitive edge in the global arena? What’s the best bet when it comes to ensuring visibility, security, service and savings for our stakeholders? These are just some of the issues that will be addressed at the annual NDTA Forum & Expo.

GSA, a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government, manages more than one-fourth of the government’s total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8300 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA also acts as steward to more than 420 historic properties and manages USA.gov, the official portal. GSA’s mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions, and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), created in 2007 by consolidating the Federal Technology Service (FTS) and the Federal Supply Service (FSS), provides the best value services, products, and solutions to customers and increases overall government effectiveness and efficiency. FAS has 4 business portfolios:

• Integrated Technology Services

• Assisted Acquisition Services

• General Supplies and Services

• Travel, Motor Vehicles, and Card Services

Benefits of FAS include a deeper understanding by GSA of customer requirements; stronger management of the agency’s acquisition processes and programs; and greater integration of GSA business lines to provide multiple channels for customers to acquire the products, services, and solutions needed. FAS makes it possible for GSA to deliver excellent acquisition services efficiently and effectively while providing value to federal customers and the taxpayer.

GSA’s E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) is a Government-wide, web-based service that applies world-class travel management practices to consolidate and aggregate Federal travel. ETS is commercially hosted to minimize technology costs to the Government and to guarantee refreshed functionality. This end-to-end service streamlines travel management and enables the Government to embed real time visibility into the travel choices so that agencies can optimize their

travel budgets. ETS is used by executive branch agencies that are subject to the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR). Visit www.gsa.gov/egovtravel for more information. GSA accommodates Lodging Needs for Federal travelers, at home and abroad.

• Transient Lodging – the FedRooms program provides more than 5000 quality hotels worldwide, all approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Rates are at or below per diem, travelers can cancel up to 4pm the day of arrival without penalty, there are no hidden costs, and there is no charge for early check-out. For these benefits, you must ask for the FedRooms rate by name or by booking through a travel management service.

• Emergency Lodging – temporary lodging accommodations in support of emergency relief that can be used by all Government agencies.

• Corporate Housing – lodging accommodations for 30-plus days, including temporary or permanent employee relocation, extended training, and travel.

• Conference, Events, and Tradeshow Planning Services – includes the management of all necessary meeting arrangements. For more information, visit www.gsa.gov/lodging.

GSA’s FY08 City Pair Program contracts provide flexibility and choice. The program’s responsive approach to changing travel patterns combined with a 2 tier pricing structure in selected markets expands savings, with an average 63% to 77% below commercial full fares available in more than 300 markets. The difference between the fares is that the lower fare requires advanced planning. The expected savings to the government is $4.5 billion across 5002 domestic and international routes. Fares are unrestricted with no advance purchase or length-of-stay requirement and are fully refundable, with no cancellation charges, last seat availability, or blackout dates.

International Business Machines—IBM—is a global company with more than 360,000 employees in 126 countries. During the 1980s and early 1990s, IBM was thrown into turmoil by back-to-back revolutions. The PC revolution placed computers directly in the hands of millions of people. And then, the client/server revolution sought to link all of those PCs (the “clients”) with larger computers that labored in the background. Both revolutions transformed the way customers viewed, used, and bought technology. And both fundamentally rocked IBM.

As the decade drew to a close, IBM stood on the threshold of the new century having reestablished itself as a leading information technology innovator. Its leadership helped create the e-business revolution. And it had successfully transformed itself, achieving an impressive business turnaround. IBM helped pioneer information technology over the years and it stands today at the forefront of a worldwide industry that is revolutionizing the way in which enterprises, organizations, and people operate and thrive.

Supply Chain

Although IBM got its start as a computer hardware and software maker, today it ranks as the world’s largest supply chain consulting organization and technology firm with more than 60,000 professionals and the worlds 4th largest supply chain.

Global Operations

In the Public Sector, IBM offers a variety of capabilities, bringing global operations supporting Business Solutions, Business Consulting, Technology Services, and Innovation to bear on our clients problems. IBM spends more than $6B in scientific research earning 3,125 US patents in 2007, committing several innovative, environmentally responsible patents to the public domain. Our IBM Center for the Business of Government and Institute for Electronic Government (IEG) are only the beginning of IBM’s commitment to our Government and the Department of Defense.

Government Commitment

Agencies face many obstacles to innovation, including internal politics, limited resources and external forces. To overcome these challenges, government leaders are pursuing private sector approaches—soliciting greater citizen involvement and collaboration with key stakeholders. Read the IBM Center for the Business of Government study: Market-based government through innovation, found on http://www-03.ibm.com/industries/government/index.jsp.

Tomorrow/Today

Bringing state-of-the-art capabilities in areas such as Network Centric Operations, Service Oriented Architectures, Public Safety and Homeland Security, Social Services, Finance and Administration, and Enterprise Portfolio Management, IBM provides all US Government, State, and Local Governments with innovative, cost efficient solutions to a myriad of problems.

IBM is firmly anchored in corporate citizenship as well, assisting communities around the globe on a daily basis. Whether it is providing support to victims of natural disasters and the humanitarian responders around the globe or contributing critical technology to our fighting forces, IBM is recognized as a global corporate citizen.

IBM – Distinguished by the values its own employees developed:

• Dedication to every client’s success

• Innovation that matters—for our company and for the world

• Trust and personal responsibility in all relationships

NDTA CHAPTERS in Review

There is a Native American saying, “Many feet, one heart.” It suggests that great things can be accomplished by those who share the same goal. This definitely applies to NDTA Chapters from coast to coast and overseas. They are a diverse group, but with similarities that far outweigh the differences of mode or mission. Throughout the year, Chapter members work hard to plan monthly meetings, fundraising events, and community outreach. They educate us. They keep us informed. They provide the platform that keeps us in touch and on target. They are our strength. Following is a sampling of program topics featured during the past year (April ’07-April ’08). They may prompt ideas in your neck of the woods. We regret that space prevents a complete listing.

Bernd Homann, General Manager, Marketing & Sales, BLG Automobile Logistics “Operations in support of the US Military at the port of Bremerhaven, German” (Atlanta Chapter)

Earl Boyanton, Deputy, Under Secretary of Defense, Transportation Policy “DOD Logistics Transformation” (Baltimore Chapter)

Capt Rik Verhaegen, Verhagen Management “Security in the Port of Antwerp” (Benelux Chapter)

Julie Wilsey, Deputy Director for the Airport Authority, Wilmington Int’l Airport “Future Operations and the Infrastructure” (Cape Fear Chapter)

COL Ed Visker, USA (Ret .), Deputy Cmdr., Defense Depot Susquehanna, PA and Mr Craig Valle, LMI Gov’t Consulting “Post Conflict Logistics” (Central PA Chapter)

NDTA members volunteer their time and talents at home and on front lines. They share lessons learned with others to foster professional growth. Captain Scott Delius told members of the Atlanta Chapter how his experiences at Camp Alamo, Afghanistan, opened his eyes to the logistics of maneuvering through battle zones to assist humanitarian efforts like “Operation Backpack.” PHOTO: Captain Scott Delius, Camp Alamo, Afghanistan.

Tommy Pruitt, Gov’t Communications and PR Director, Force Protection, Inc. Facility Tour and Introduction to the Manufacture of MRAPs (Charleston Chapter)

Gregg Zody, Dir. Marketing & Sales, Expedited Truckload lntermodal, BNSF Railroad “Railroads and Intermodal Shipping –in the World of Transportation” (Dallas / Ft Worth Chapter)

SGT Allison Justice Florida Army National Guard “Experiences of a Flight Medic in Iraq” (Jacksonville Chapter)

Rivers Edge Educational Tour –Tri-City Regional Port District “Epicenter – Intermodal Freight Transportation Systems of River/Rail/Interstate” (Scott / St Louis Chapter)

Throughout the year, NDTA Chapters present educational programs and participate in community good will projects. Some Chapters champion a specific charity or natural disaster recovery effort. Photo: Cape Fear NDTA Chapter distributing donations on behalf of the Wounded Warrior Program.

NDTA Chapter Programs cover a wide range of topics—from the latest trends and military initiatives like the Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) and alternative fuels. JPADS, a new global positioning system allowing accurate air drop from high altitudes, was on the Charleston Chapter agenda with Major Christopher J. Henslee, (USAF) 437th Airlift Wing. The Dallas/Ft Worth Chapter introduced Col Robert Dubek, USAF (Ret.), COO Earth Biofuels Technology, who spoke on “Renewable Energy and Energy Independence.” DOD Photo by Senior Airman Brian Ferguson, USAF .

The Atlanta Chapter of NDTA held its February meeting on the north side of Atlanta (north of the 285 perimeter). Meetings usually are held in south Atlanta, but in an effort to attract participation, the location was changed. Guest speaker was Lois

Wilson, Vice President of Military Sales for World Airways. World Airways has a long and proud tradition of partnership and support for the DOD. The company’s mission is to provide specialized air transportation solutions through innovative people committed to delivering the highest levels of safety, reliability, customer satisfaction, and overall value. Lois gave a terrific rundown on the World Airway fleet and capabilities, highlighting some of the direct support to the deployed forces, and a discussion of the air bridge linking CONUS and Southwest Asia via Leipzig, Germany. Members

were fascinated by a video presentation commemorating the 30th Anniversary of Operation Babylift, the famous air lift of orphans out of Vietnam in the final days of the war. The March chapter meeting moved back to the south side of Atlanta on March 19. Lockheed Martin led a discussion on In Transit Visibility systems.

NDTA BENELUX CHAPTER

Chapter members, friends, and family visited the International Car Operators at their Antwerp Terminal on February 21 for a briefing and tour. The day also included keynote speaker, Captain Rik Verhaegen from the Antwerp Port Authority, and a special presentation to past Chapter President and European Region VP (Northern Region) Wim van der Stek. van der Stek was awarded the Belgian Knighthood “Officer in the Order of King Leopold I,” an honor of distinction that was recommended by the Belgian Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Karel De Gucht, and awarded by His Majesty Albert II, King of Belgium. Antwerp Port Alderman Marc van Peel presented the prestigious order on behalf of King Albert II and officials representing Belgian and US military forces and commercial business were in attendance. van der Stek was recognized because of his contribution to the friendly relations between Belgium and the Netherlands in the economic and military fields and for his noble dedication to the Port of Rotterdam and the Port of Antwerp for the transit of American Military Equipment through Benelux Ports. The “Officer in the Order

of King Leopold I” is Belgium’s oldest and most prestigious order, having been presented by King Leopold I for the first time in 1832. Sincere Best Wishes to Wim van der Stek in recognition of this Honor.

SCOTT ST LOUIS CHAPTER AND NATIONAL NDTA SPONSOR RECREATION ROOM

The Scott St Louis Chapter and National NDTA headquarters sponsored a Recreation Room at the Scott AFB Aeromedical Staging Facility (ASF) to make life a little more comfortable for transiting injured military members. The “Adopt a Room” Program began as an opportunity to bring the comforts of home into a bland hospital environment, but when funding for upgrade fell short, private organizations joined in to help the facility.

Military members, who were injured while in action in Kuwait, Iraq, or Afghanistan, come to ASF following stabilization and re-entry back to the states for recuperation. The Scott AFB ASF is a necessary stopping point on a long journey back to recovery.

GOVERNMENT NEWS*

USTRANSCOM / DLA / GSA

USTRANSCOM, DLA, and GSA have established a formal partnership designed to improve supply chain management for US armed forces. The agreement establishes an Executive Steering Committee (ESC), made up of executives from all three organizations, that will direct Joint Working Groups to oversee initiatives that assure each organization’s performance aligns with

Most stay just a day, but for those who stay longer, the comfortable surroundings are our way to say thanks and help make things better during the wait before going home. Currently, 13 rooms are sponsored for returnees; they are individually theme-decorated with sports memorabilia or regional accents from the beach or the Texas plains.

NDTA became aware of the program during the 20th Anniversary celebration at USTRANSCOM, where Mary Wykle, wife of LTG Ken Wykle, NDTA President, received a tour of the facility and an introduction to the ASF Adopt a Room program at the base clinic. Discussions following that visit between Ken Wavering, Chapter President, and Ken Wykle set the project in motion. Lt Col Terry Prizer, ASF Flight Commander, and TSgt Deniece McCormick-Daniels assisted the effort to ensure guidelines were met. The result: a warm and inviting recreation room.

A-35ers from the Chapter led the effort with Mike Klopfenstein and Tara Feilmeier taking charge of design and donations (games, equipment, decorations, and funds). The completed room features more than $4500 worth of equipment and supplies including a Samsung LCD TV, fireplace with mantle, bar tables and chairs, air hockey table, and additional pool table equipment.

Special thanks to NDTA Headquarters, Chapter volunteers, A-35 members, Newbold Toyota—BMW, the Anesthesia Associates of Southern Illinois, and Ms Sheri Dixon. We have already had the pleasure of seeing the room used by some of the returning military members. DTJ

shared expectations. The agreement, which outlines specific responsibilities for each agency, identifies the partnership’s goals as:

• improve operations, information sharing, and integrated supply chain operations planning;

• adopt shared processes to gain efficiencies in the delivery of goods and services to the warfighter;

• determine information technology requirements to enhance warfighter support capabilities and implement solutions approved by the ESC;

• develop shared customer relationship activities and initiatives;

• share supply chain and distribution business intelligence and current events information regarding ongoing or potential initiatives and innovations;

• collaborate across boundaries of the organizations; and

• seek partnering opportunities whenever the opportunity arises.

Transforming Inventory Into A Competitive Advantage:

Best Practices and Productivity Tools

Kaye Cee McKay, CFPIM, CSCP

There is no question that Inventory Management plays an essential role in a company’s success, not to mention its impact on profit margins. After all, inventories either support our plans or they are a result of them. The question is, do WE manage our inventory, or does IT manage US?

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Transform your inventory from a liability into a secret weapon that gives you a competitive advantage.

• Identify good trends and best practices.

DEFINITIONS

Inventory Management

The branch of business management concerned with planning and controlling inventories.

Material Requirements

Planning (MRP)

A set of techniques that uses bill of material data, inventory data, and the master production schedule to calculate requirements for materials. It makes recommendations to release replenishment orders for material.

Automated Data Capture (ADC)

Refers to the methods of automatically identifying objects, collecting data about them, and entering that data directly into computer systems (ie, without human involvement).

Collaboration

A structured, recursive process where two or more people work together toward a common goal— typically an intellectual endeavor that is creative in nature—by sharing knowledge, learning, and building consensus.

(APICS Dictionary, 12th edition, 2007)

• How to determine cost and investment justification.

To get started, let’s do a quick temperature check:

 Do you have obsolescence on your shelves for more than 18 months?

 Are you constantly expediting (both to and from the plant)?

 Do you conduct physical inventory, cycle counting, or all of the above?

 Has your company gone through the annual inventory reduction program?

(Reduce – reduce – reduce)

 Do you know which inventories to reduce, and what it’s REALLY costing you?

These are all symptoms of an inventory program in dire need of overhaul, so let’s start with the obvious—accurate records. The first step must be to build confidence in your overall inventory records. One popular method is through some sort of audit program, usually a yearly/monthly physical inventory or cycle count process. But what is the real goal? Now let’s be honest with ourselves, inventory is an asset on the financial statement, and management (finance in particular) wants to ensure that their inventory dollars are valid and true. MRP, on the other hand, doesn’t give a hoot how much the part cost, it only cares whether you have it or not. This “Catch 22” has sabotaged more than one unwary victim.

The best way to satisfy BOTH worlds is through an effective cycle count program. Everyone knows (at least on paper), that the true purpose of cycle counting is to find and eliminate the problem that created the error in the first place, a process called “root cause analysis.”

Another area of concern has been that of data integrity, or introducing data entry errors. The good news is that thanks to bar coding, this issue is now almost non-existent. Real time production and inventory reporting has become a necessity in today’s world of e-Business, Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma.

BAR CODING

Implementing an Automated Data Capture (ADC) solution provides your enterprise an opportunity to redesign inventory and production reporting processes to become leaner and more agile.

Barcodes have infiltrated every aspect of our lives. You’ll find them in grocery stores, libraries, hospitals, farms, even in your own home. Think of barcodes as a way to replace keyboard data entry. Barcode solutions reduce inefficiencies and improve a company’s productivity, thereby growing their bottom line. Basically, barcodes are a fast, easy, and accurate way of entering data.

Selecting the proper data capture solution requires defining the application(s) that you plan to scan. Specific uses for these real-time tools depend upon your industry segment. Examples include:

• Executing point-of-sale transactions within a retail store

• Reporting time and materials for a light assembly operation

• Shipping and receiving goods in highvolume Distribution Centers operating 24/7

• Cycle counting materials within a stockroom on a military ship at sea

RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID)

RFID is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. Readers convert radio waves reflected back from RFID tags into digital information which can then be passed on for computers to use.

RFID is attracting considerable attention as a complement (in some cases a replacement) for bar coding. This is due to the significant range, speed and unattended reading advantages it provides. Tiny tags containing radio chips will be affixed to pallets and cartons or individual items such as clothes, appliances, and bottles of milk.

RFID tags hold much more data than traditional UPC symbols. The tag can be programmed to hold information such as an item’s serial number, color, size, manufacture date, and current price, as well as a list of all distribution points the item touched before arriving at a store. The RFID technology will allow manufacturing companies and retailers to closely track their inventories. Unlike barcodebased tracking systems, an RFID system can read the information on multiple tags without requiring line of sight and without the need for a particular orientation. That means RFID systems can be largely automated, greatly reducing the need for manual scanning.

BIN LOCATION ACCURACY

An often overlooked but equally important aspect of inventory management is bin location accuracy. Bar coding not only helps us “mistake proof” our put away, but it also increases our shipping accuracy. As a result, we’re better, faster,

and ultimately cheaper because our accurate inventory and shipping records have allowed us to reduce inventory via our safety stock levels. Sounds like a winning proposition—as our customer service levels increase, our inventory levels decrease, and you know that is going to make management happy!

It’s important to note that we must also manage inventory at the aggregate level. Management is typically concerned with the percentage of raw materials, work in process (WIP), and finished goods. What type of environment we’re in should dictate where we keep the majority of our inventory. We should also look at our inventory by classification (A, B, Cs).

GOVERNMENT SECURITY DEMANDS

As if all these considerations weren’t enough, a new challenge has emerged for those subject to government regulations— TRACEABILITY.

The Bio-Terrorism Preparedness Act of 2002 is one of the highest-impact and yet least talked-about challenges to those in the food and beverage industry. The purpose of the act is to enable the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent and respond to intentional and unintentional outbreaks of food-borne illnesses. The list of food subject to the FDA’s jurisdiction under this act includes dietary supplements and dietary ingredients; in-

fant formula; beverages; fruits and vegetables; fish and seafood; diary products and shell eggs; raw agricultural commodities for use as food; canned and frozen foods; live food animals; bakery goods, snack foods, candy, chewing gum, and animal feeds and pet food.

The Bio-Terrorism Act requires all Food & Beverage companies to have the capability to perform a four-to-eight hour trace backward and trace forward throughout the entire supply chain of a product. Tracking must not only be performed within enterprises, but also across enterprises. This requires an unprecedented level of collaboration, speed, accuracy, and detail that most firms cannot currently deliver.

JUSTIFYING COSTLY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS AND TOOLS

A vital step in the hardware selection process is preparing the cost justification. The equipment and technology may “sizzle” and be state-of-the-industry, but without a solid Return-On-Investment (ROI), your project will never be approved. There are a significant number of benefits that can be realized from implementing real-time tools such as bar coding, RFID, and traceability tools. The keys to attaining success will be finding a balance technology combined with sound Inventory Management disciplines.

Listed below are examples of some of the most common measurable benefits that help to justify the implementation of real-time tools:

• Validates data electronically to ensure that the proper products are being shipped, received, or issued.

• Eliminates bottlenecks in areas with high transaction volume (Shipping, Receiving, etc.) through increased processing speed.

• Provides real-time updates to the host system required for e-Commerce, Warehouse Management, Traceability, and Advanced Planning Systems.

• Empowers your company to become “compliant,” which may be imposed by customers such as Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, etc.

• Significantly improves inventory management processes and procedures.

• Reduces labor costs by reducing the clerical workforce needed for tracking and inventory management.

PEOPLE

One more consideration is the skill sets and performance behaviors of your enterprise’s most valuable asset: its people. Do they understand why “days on hand” is a better measurement then inventory turns? Is a system in place so that obsolete inventories have a reserve against them and that ALL items are reviewed on a regular basis? Is there a closed loop system so excess inventories are tied back to the reason they became obsolete in the first place?

JOINT DISTRIBUTION AND DEPLOYMENT ENTERPRISE’S INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

The management of Supply is one of the nine key functions in USTRANSCOM’s JDDE. The elements of JDDE include:

• Supplier Selection and Negotiation

• Supplier Relationship Management

• Sourcing and Procurement Strategy

• Inventory Planning

• Inventory Management

• Material Disposition (Disposal, Reclamation, Recycling, Repair)

• Return/Retrograde

USTRANSCOM, as the Distribution Process Owner (DPO), must effectively guide its stakeholders and train inventory managers to optimize inventory while minimizing its cost.

TURNING LEMONS INTO LEMONADE

So whose problem is it? The answer, of course, is that inventory accuracy belongs to anyone who touches the inventory, so let’s see some metrics to back that up! For example, Management and/ or team leaders in each key area (Receiving, Stockroom, Manufacturing and Shipping) should all have accuracy goals with measurements tied to them. Anyone who has ever gone on a weight loss program knows that you must celebrate the small victories before achieving the final goal. Inventory Management is no different, and data integrity is a daily habit (discipline). Positive reinforcement is the best way to change behavior, so why not transform the culture from a dreary, negative “nagging” into daily games and contests? As you achieve your goals, even the small ones, take the time to celebrate your accomplishments. By

making it fun, involving the team, and creating a vision with pride in the outcome, your employees can’t help but rise to the challenge! DTJ

Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets: How to Fix America’s Trillion-Dollar Construction Industry

Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets: How to Fix America’s Trillion-Dollar Construction Industry by Barry B. LePatner, Robert E. Wright, and Timothy C. Jacobson (University of Chicago Press, October 2007), ISBN-13: 978-0-226-47267-6, ISBN-10: 0-226-47267-1, $25.00.

Boston’s Big Dig broke ground in the mid-1980s, and ten years later broke records as the most expensive highway project in US history, running nearly $10 billion over budget. But it’s only the most visible example of an increasingly common trend. Across the nation, construction projects large

and small—from hospitals to schools to simple home improvements—are spiraling out of control with delays and cost overruns. Clearly, the construction industry is in urgent need of reform. In Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets, prominent construction attorney Barry B. LePatner builds a powerful case for change in America’s sole remaining “mom and pop” industry—an industry that consumes $1.23 trillion and wastes at least $120 billion each year. With three decades of experience representing clients that include eminent architects and engineers, as well as corporations, institutions, and developers, LePatner has seen firsthand how

this risk-averse industry is plagued by bad management, ineffective supervision, and insufficient investment in technology. In an engaging and direct style, he here pinpoints the issues that underlie the industry’s woes while providing practical tips for anyone in the business of building, including advice on the precise language owners should use during contract negotiations. As a recent Brookings Institution report highlights, the US will spend $25 trillion on construction by 2030. A full $3 trillion of that will be wasted if the system continues unchecked, and we will all pay the price. Now, armed with Broken Buildings, Busted Budgets, everyone involved in the purchase of building— from homeowners seeking to remodel to civic developers embarking on large-scale projects—has the information they need to change this antiquated industry, one project at a time. This book is a slightly different take on the transportation infrastructure issue, but a very interesting one nonetheless. DTJ

TBonus Event!

Denise A . Bailey Director, Government Sales Yellow Transportation

he next few months should be busy ones for NDTA on the educational and conference fronts. Three major events are scheduled that will involve our industry members. First is the SDDC Training Symposium and NDTA Training Symposium Expo in Orlando (28-30 April); Expo dates are 29 and 30 April. Most of our corporate members have already signed up to attend and exhibit, but if you haven’t done so yet, there is still some limited booth space available. You can register for the Symposium on site once you arrive.

During the third week of May, all of the National Transportation Week (NTW) activities are planned, leading up to National Defense Transportation Day on 16 May. The national NTW observance will be in Detroit this year. Full details are at www.ntweek.org.

For the folks in the Midwest, our Scott/ St. Louis Chapter is partnering with the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) to be a co-sponsor of the “Technet Mid-America Conference,” which runs from 21-23 July, 2008, in Collinsville, Illinois. Further details are available at the chapter’s website: www.ndtascottstlouis.org.

And, on the breaking news front, we are excited about a new initiative NDTA has planned for 2008—the re-establishment of the Regional Forums concept. In the 70s and 80s this was a very popular way of getting more members involved in the Association who might not be able to attend national meetings because of time or money. To bring the Forum to the members, the concept of regional meetings was established, and at its peak the Association was scheduling 10 to 12 events per year throughout the US and overseas.

A one-and-a-half–day format seemed to be the most popular. A modest table top Expo along with greatly reduced registration fees proved to be just the ticket to incentivize NDTAers, individual and

corporate, to participate. Most regional events were held within a two- to threehour drive of the member’s home, and when scheduled on a Friday and combined with a desirable location, many attendees remained over the weekend, which added a mini vacation to the business event.

NDTA’s corporate members should especially welcome the return of this concept because it will provide them with several new opportunities throughout the year to network with their military and government counterparts, at very minimal expense. The low cost of a table top display (versus a full sized booth), plus the ease and convenience of transporting, setting up, and dismantling should be a real plus for our exhibitors. Combine that with a low registration fee, all within easy driving range, and it should make the Regional Forum a welcome and popular addition to NDTA’s list of corporate member benefits.

The Atlantic Region was chosen as the pilot region to test the concept, and Hershey, Pennsylvania, as the first location. The Washington, DC, and Central Pennsylvania Chapters will host the event, which has been set for 26-27 June, 2008. According to NDTA Vice President for Education, Greg Reid, the intention is to hold other Regional Forums in different parts of the country if the Hershey event is well received. These regional meetings would be in addition to the Annual Forum, which this year will take place in Reno-Tahoe, Nevada (20-24 September).

Impetus for the concept lies with NDTA’s desire to support USTRANSCOM’s goal of providing additional education and training opportunities for military and government employees and NDTA members. According to Reid, the theme of the Hershey event will be centered primarily on education and professional development, although other timely topics will also be addressed. NDTA Education Chairman

Professor Irvin Varkonyi is working with NDTA and USTRANSCOM to development programs to meet USTRANSCOM’s specific needs. Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) will be awarded to participants, according to Dr. Rich Young of Pennsylvania State University.

NDTA corporate members have several excellent opportunities to participate and influence the final product. NDTA, as a government/industry partnership, wants to hear from industry about our needs. If your company has issues or would like to participate on the planning committee for the first Regional Forum this summer, please contact me for more details (Office: 215-630-8498). This is an additional way for corporate members to make their voice heard in the Association. I encourage all of our corporate members to attend, exhibit, and participate to the fullest. DTJ

SAVE THE DATE—Thursday and Friday, 26, 27 June, 2008, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, for the Atlantic Regional Forum and Expo. Look for more detailed information in the next issue of the DTJ

Learn from the Past

COL Denny Edwards, USA (Ret .) VP of Marketing and Corporate Development NDTA

We all know that we can learn from our past. And NDTA is no exception. Even though most of us lead very busy lives to day, just look at the March/April 1972 DTJ cover below and see how busy your Association was 36 years ago.

There were no less than 10 separate NDTA meetings and events per year in the early 1970s—most of them Regional Conferences dispersed throughout the US and over seas. That fact was not lost on NDTA’s Forum and Education Committee when they met in Washington recently and decided unanimously to bring back the Regional Forum concept. The idea is to have a 1 1/2 day event with an educational theme in keeping with USTRANSCOM’s goal to provide more education and training oriented events. NDTA’s Atlantic Region was chosen to host the first pilot regional event. There will be more details in the next DTJ, but for right now, SAVE THE DATE—26-27 June, 2008 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Check our website [www. ndtahq.com] often for more information— and plan on attending NDTA’s first Regional Forum in the new millennium. DTJ

exchange of ideas between the artist and the representative usually takes place during the design phase so that when a suggested design is delivered, it is accepted. There are often comments or requests for modification of the original suggested design, and as long they do not duplicate existing insignia or fall into the category of ”politically incorrect,” we do our best to incorporate them into the design.

Heller: Are certain colors preferred over others? Are there colors or images that are simply forbidden?

Mugno: Heraldry is based on a small basic set of tinctures: azure (dark blue), gules (red), celeste (light blue), vert (green), sable (black), sanguine (brown/maroon) and tenne (orange). The two metals, gold and silver, are identified as or and argent respectively, and would be depicted in cloth as yellow and white.

Due to historical events, there are symbols that would not be used, such as the red star which is associated with the former Soviet Union, the “stars and bars” of the confederacy, or the swastika which is identified with Hitler and the Nazis of World War II. Religious symbols are not used, except in items for the chaplains or religious offices of the military. Any image that could be considered in poor taste, anything suggestive, and specific weapons and machinery are not used. Weapons and machinery are depicted in a general manner—a sword, a helicopter blade, a bi-plane—are all nonspecific and stand the test of time to depict weapons and aircraft.

Heller: What is the training like for the members of your design team? What rigors must they have before becoming a designer of such charged images?

Mugno: Heraldry can be a solitary pursuit. Those who forge ahead with a disciplined,

self-taught program are the most successful in producing heraldically correct and engaging designs. With that said, the artistic staff of the Institute has a varied educational background from art school, design school, interior design, bachelor of arts, to masters of fine arts. In the area of heraldry, it is on-the-job training and the self discipline to read and work independently studying existing coats of arms, military history and symbolism. The Institute is a one of a kind organization within the government and the work is so unique and interesting that we have a very low turnover, which is fortunate. Newly hired illustrators start off working on revisions to existing drawings because of unit re-designations or the need for additional specific color information. They move on to more challenging work, including designs for the ROTC programs, Air Force badges, group and squadron patches, and ultimately designing medals, decorations, ribbons, badges, seals, plaques, distinctive unit insignia, shouldersleeve insignia, and coats of arms.

Heller: You also design medals and awards. What determines the symbolic make up of such things? What is the different design component for campaign medals versus bravery citations?

Mugno: The type of award is the key to the design. A campaign medal is limited to a standard shape and size. There are separate designs for the obverse, reverse, and ribbon pattern that combine to make up the complete decoration. These elements come together to define the award. The obverse is designed with reference to the theater of operation, usually incorporating a symbol common to the region, while the reverse often contains a appropriate symbol (such as a wreath, torch, or laurel) or nationally recognized emblem. Ribbon colors may represent the area of operation, such as the national colors of the region or those associated with allied forces. A medal for valor, heroism, or meritorious service is

limited only by the designer’s imagination. These awards follow a similar process as a campaign medal; however, they are rarely circular in shape. The reverse usually has an area to engrave the name of the recipient as well a symbol and/or inscription relative to the type of award.

Heller: Are there any signs, symbols, medals, or seals that are in the deep freeze waiting to be unveiled?

Mugno: There are always new and interesting projects. Most recently, we were contacted by the Army Historical Foundation to assist with the design of a one dollar US coin to commemorate the 235th anniversary of the US Army. It is our policy, however, not to discuss specific issues or design recommendations until formally approved by the client. DTJ
