However, the majority of strides have been made within functions and processes. The authors build a case that opportunities remain for improvement through end-to-end supply chain integration -- spanning all DoD organizations and its suppliers -- of processes jointly affecting total supply chain costs and performance. They define supply chain integration, provide illustrative evidence of DoD supply chain integration shortfalls, and describe why such shortfalls exist. They then provide a framework for an integrated DoD supply chain, associated recommendations for DoD supply chain policy, and a framework for developing management practices that drive people to take actions that lead to supply chain integration. In the course of the project, the Office of the Secretary of Defense adopted many of the policy recommendations put forth in this volume; these changes are described in this report. Building on all of this, the authors turn to potential opportunities to further improve DoD supply chain efficiency and performance, several of which DoD supply chain organizations have already begun pursuing as mentioned in the report. These opportunities also provide further indication that there is room to improve supply chain integration. 651 0 $a United States $x Supplies and stores. $x Supplies and stores. 650 0 $a Logistics. 610 10 $a United States. $b Defense Logistics Agency. 610 10 $a United States. $b Department of Defense $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 700 1 $a Robbins, Marc. 700 1 $a McGovern, Geoffrey. 710 1 $a United States. $b Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics and Materiel Readiness) 830 0 $a Technical report (Rand Corporation) ; $v TR-1274-OSD. 856 41 $z Related Electronic Version: Web page with scanned depiction of full text and images: $u http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/technical_reports/2012/RAND_TR1274.pdf 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103062315.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826064006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4D406DC6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
