Logistics planning is the process of optimising resources to support operational deployments. Data is a fundamental input to this process to ensure the finite set of available supplies, facilities and personnel are maximised through the supply chain. Logistics planning in the military context is critical to ensure our warfighters are provided and sustained with the right supplies at the right time to support operational success.
Vast amounts of data are required to be assembled and structured to support logistics decision-making. The availability, integrity and ongoing management of data are crucial factors and if not considered, cause ongoing problems for the warfighter. A cultural shift focusing on data as a fundamental input to capability will support solving these problems to enable high confidence and trust in the outcome for the warfighter to make timely decisions.
