GSA has announced that it established a partnership with the U.S. Transportation Command, and Defense Logistics Agency to improve military supply chain management.
The agreement establishes an executive steering committee made up of executives from all three organizations to oversee initiatives to align performance with mutually shared expectations.
The committee will also establish and direct joint working groups to ensure goals and objectives for the overall initiatives are followed, GSA said.
It said the partnership also establishes methods for each agency to combine performance measurements, collaborate across organizational boundaries and, most importantly, achieve the operational effect of adopting shared efficiencies in delivering goods and services to the warfighter.
"The cooperative agreement extends our commitment to achieve supply chain excellence with our national partners," said Army Lt. Gen. Robert T. Dail, director, DLA.
"This guides us – as partners – to further improve operations, information sharing and integrated supply chain planning," he added.
Goals for the partnership include improving operations, information sharing and integrated supply chain operations planning, adopting shared processes to gain efficiencies, determining IT requirements, and developing shared customer relationship activities and initiatives.
