Logistics Management
The Federal Government’s acquisition and logistics communities, and in particular the defense community, are faced with four interrelated challenges.
These interrelated challenges are modernization / recapitalization; deploying and sustaining people and assets; developing and acquiring advanced technology; and developing improved processes to rebalance and reset organizations for future operations. Improved logistics systems management is a key enabler to address all four challenges in an environment of accelerating pressure to reduce costs.
CALIBRE’s Offerings
CALIBRE’s value to the logistics community is evidenced by cost-effective, tailored, integrated, adaptable solutions that contribute to higher-performing logistics operations at all levels. We offer acquisition logistics support, advanced logistics analytics, distribution management, integrated information systems, logistics business information management, logistics training, and value / supply chain integration and modeling.
Acquisition Logistics Support
CALIBRE offers solutions bringing field logistics experience and understanding of readiness and weapon system cost drivers into acquisition programs and management of Performance-Based Logistics. This experience and fact-based insight assists in meeting milestones, improving weapon system performance, and meeting readiness goals at lower lifecycle costs. Our offerings also include configuration management applications such as our innovative Modification Management Information System (MMIS) which is designed to assist managers at all levels from unit maintenance activities to Department headquarters. We also offer Product Lifecycle Management implementation services to speed deployment and guide organizations through the assessment, migration, and implementation processes.
Advanced Logistics Analytics
Today’s agency managers need easy access to data and an easy way to extract meaningful insights from that data. CALIBRE offers high performance logistics analysis with an experienced view of the management context and decision support requirements. Our functional and multifunctional dominance, combined with advanced data access techniques and state-of-the-market tools, provide for unsurpassed information fusion and analysis of policy, procedure, and compliance implications. We help drive logistics effectiveness and efficiency, readiness management, and cost reduction through process metrics, detailed identification of readiness and cost drivers, and support to inventory optimization. Using advanced analytics, CALIBRE produces Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) spanning the value chain enabling managers to quickly consolidate, view, and understand both the critical linkages and disparities in a vast and diverse set of information sources. Our proven logistics KPIs are exportable to value chains worldwide.
Distribution Management
CALIBRE recognizes that the success of any logistics operation depends on timely, efficient, and assured satisfaction of requirements - bridging the gap between requirements and sources. CALIBRE offers state-of-the-art solutions for distribution the management process and cost control. We provide requirements visibility, identification of sources and in-transit assets, and situational understanding of the entire distribution environment. These fundamentals enable the dynamic control and synchronization of the flow of materiel through distribution pipelines to satisfy requirements at the lowest cost.
Integrated Information Systems
CALIBRE offers logistics business intelligence and dashboard development services, large-scale data integration and information fusion, as well as cutting-edge applications for today’s logisticians. Our innovative and proven process enables speed to market, provides for lower risk, and minimizes costs compared to traditional development and deployment models. CALIBRE’s leading-edge logistics information technology capabilities and solutions include the ARCENT Theater Common Operating Picture (A-TCOP), the Integrated Logistics Analysis Program (ILAP), and 360 Degree Logistics Readiness Dashboards. These three applications demonstrate CALIBRE’s abilities to provide cost-effective and rapidly deployed logistics information systems. We also offer the capabilities and proven performance required to support large-scale logistics data integration and information fusion. CALIBRE designs, sustains, and operates the largest Windows-based integrated logistics system operating on Oracle. We implement data access procedures, data integration, and high-speed reporting and worldwide ubiquitous systems access. Logisticians need information while on the move; we have developed mobile browser applications providing logisticians direct worldwide links to critical and authoritative logistics information. Since transactional information systems supporting value chains are typically in flux during protracted deployment periods, CALIBRE offers services to integrate enterprise resource planning (ERP) and legacy information to enable a timely response to both enduring and emerging management challenges. Our ability to integrate force structure, readiness, maintenance, supply, finance, distribution, ammunition, and other information into a common information warehouse with easy-to-use interfaces makes CALIBRE an ideal partner for logistics systems development.
