Summary:
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF
ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made
available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form
available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather
assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming
Media report number is A578224. The abstract provided by the Pentagon
follows: Performance measurement has long been a matter of debate in
logistics. However, in the recent past, there has been a renewed
emphasis as AF leaders continue to seek funding for weapon system
spares despite marginal improvements in mission capability. The
Chief's Logistics Review, Logistics Transformation Program, AFMC
Constraints Assessment Program, the Spares Requirement Review Board,
the Spares Campaign, and the Depot Maintenance Reengineering and
Transformation all represent efforts to find and implement effective
answers (RAND, 2003:ix). And, while there appears to be a consensus
that better performance measures are needed, there is little
agreement on exactly what should be measured, and how. Many
performance management plans have been developed and recommended. In
1999, the Logistics Management Institute (LMI) published Supply Chain
Management: A Recommended Performance Measurement Scorecard to guide
senior DoD logistics managers. Then, in 2001, the AF logistics
Management Agency developed a set of aggregate or strategic level
metrics, Measuring The Health of USAF Supply, at the request of
AF/ILS. Most recently, in November of 2003, the Supply Management
Division published the AFMC Supply Chain Metrics Guide. However, each
of these performance measurement plans each is distinctly different.
This research seeks to determine how and why these performance
measurements plans differ, and to examine what such differences might
reveal about the nature of performance measurement in AF logistics
systems.
