A case is the controlling support system and utillistion document. A case is defined as “A reasoned, auditable argument created to support the contention (proposition) that a defined system will satisfy the logistics support requirements.” (DSTAN00-42)
Our focus on the logistics case is to plan for productivity and operations outcomes, and their subordinate plans.
Undertake the necessary analysis to develop the logistics case to achieve planned outcomes. That is a closed loop analysis to describe the competitive advantage through productivity and operations.
Understanding logistics underpins outcomes such as productivity and operations and leads to the proper accounting for operations and utilization of productive resources.
The point of origin is the document, usually the business case, which sets out the competitive advantage of the organization. To achieve the competitive advantage will need a body of work generally known as operations or productivity plans. Productivity and operations planning includes two key plans: material plans and capacity plans. Material plans describe where the input resource will come from, its grade and the overall state of the resource. The resource can be either tangible or intangible. Capacity plans describe the ability to do the operations work. The two plans are the Foundation of Productivity and Operations and determine the technology plan required to meet the competitive advantage. Once the material plans, capacity plans and technology plans are in place this sets the baseline for the capability plan.
Tooling is a critical aspect of logistics systems. Tools are needed to design, make and maintian machines.
We work with you to develop these key plans to achieve the case for productivity or operations goals.
