Measurement of USMC Logistics Processes: Creating a Baseline to Support Precision Logistics Implementation

This documented briefing lays down baseline measurements of current Marine repair cycle times, order and ship times from retail supplies, and order and ship times from wholesale supplies. The calendar year 1996 was selected as the baseline from which to judge future performance. Each of the three processes measured here suffers from delays and high variability, thus affecting each of the other processes. The briefing provides an initial diagnosis of the reasons for the baseline performance and suggests recommendations for improvement. Three appendices provide baseline performance for each process from the aggregate down to the unit level and for the overall process down to specific segments.

  • "This documented briefing provides a baseline measurement of current Marine repair cycle times (RCT) and order and ship times (OST), the latter including both retail and wholesale support. Its primary goal is to provide USMC leaders with the information they need to evaluate recent Marine logistics response times (LRT) and to assess the need for improvement. A secondary goal is to help the Marine Corps understand the capabilities and limitations of its current data systems. An early version of this briefing was originally presented to the quarterly meeting of the Marine Corps logistics generals, at Camp Lejeune, NC, on November 19, 1996. To measure logistics response times, it is important to define each logistics process and the subprocesses that comprise it. We measured logistics response times for three processes - on-base repair, order and ship from retail supplies, and order and ship from wholesale supplies."@en
  • "Marine Corps leaders recognize the need to improve support to expeditionary forces. To help explore options for improving logistics, the Marine Corps asked RAND to undertake a two-pronged research effort. One perspective explores options for improving the Marine Corps' logistics through a "top-down" analysis of the totality of logistics processes. The second, bottom-up, perspective evaluates options for improving Marine logistics by helping with the development, measurement, and assessment of specific initiatives. Bottom-up analyses are (1) measuring order and ship and repair cycle times and (2) examining outsourcing options. By analyzing improvement options from two perspectives, the research aims to achieve both a broad and integrated overview and detailed evaluations of selected initiatives undertaken in the field."@en
