HANDS-ON TRAINING WORKSHOP Save This Date ! Join us in Charleston, September 16, 2007, as we explore how DOD Meets Lean Supply Chain Management (SCM)

In response to your requests for valueadded training, make plans to attend a full day, hands-on, interactive Workshop, “DOD Meets Lean Supply Chain Management (SCM),” when you attend the 2007 NDTA Forum in Charleston. How many of these issues is your organization wrestling with today? • How can SCM best practices be applied to military and civilian government environments? • How can DOD’s Transportation Management, Logistics, Readiness and Distribution Officers appropriately deploy these practices? • How to ascertain which solutions offer your organization the most promising results? The objective of this Workshop is to find Lean process solutions for these chronic issues. Participants will return with a rich set of Workbook resources, goto references, and the following skills: • Develop front-end strategies for choosing supply chain partners • Implement metrics for collaborative savings and risk pooling • Achieve IT visibility for inventory reductions • Apply Lean principles for rapid customer response Lean SCM is rapidly becoming a commercial best practice. Using this integrated tool, private sector companies are slashing inventories and cycle times across distribution channels by 60 to 70 percent.

DOD’s challenge is to integrate the best attributes from commercial contractors with its mission to support the warfighter. The Defense Transportation CoordinaBy Joni White and Irvin Varkonyi Brought to you by NDTA and the DC Metro Chapter #127 of APICS

NEW PROGRAM FOR ATTENDEES Table Top Emergency Preparedness Simulation

>> How will your organization react to maintain business continuity disruptions that negatively impact the transportation infrastructure? How well are you prepared? Join Irvin Varkonyi, Chair of the DC Chapter NDTA Emergency Preparedness Committee, as he conducts a table top emergency preparedness simulation. This will be of great interest to all NDTA members who are stakeholders in protecting our national security. We especially invite members of NDTA chapters’ Emergency Preparedness Committees, one of the key components of NDTA Chapter Recognition Awards. The exercise’s objectives will be based on Keith Helferich’s five steps in disaster planning, in his book, Securing the Supply Chain.

Planning • Mitigation • Detection Response • Recovery

Training objectives for attendees, based on these 5 steps, will focus on minimizing organizational vulnerabilities while maximizing cross functional collaboration, information sharing among stakeholders, agile asset utilization, and supplier integration. Attendees will work the scenarios to be provided by ARA Services, Orlando, Florida and Anthony Saenz, US Army Test Center at Aberdeen.

tion Initiative (DTCI) is an example. The key to successfully meeting this challenge will be a function of the knowledge and skill sets of DOD personnel.
