Logistics Master Plan
D.
Doctrine
The Coast Guard is committed to the concept of integrated
logistics. Coast Guard logistics policy will be based on the
following principles:
Total logistics support is bigger than any one program.
It requires an integrated effort from all elements of the
logistics system (e.g., maintenance planning, supply
support, training, etc.).
Responsiveness is the primary measure of effectiveness for
the logistics system. An effective system delivers
required materials to the customer/user within established
time frames. Reasonable cost is an important
consideration in measuring the efficiency of the system.
Together, they measure the success of meeting the overall
logistics program objective.
Logistics policies must be developed through a consensus
process involving Support Programs, Operating Programs,
and field commands.
Logistics information management systems must be modernized
and merged to facilitate an integrated, response oriented
Coast Guard logistics system and allow for
interoperability with DOD logistics networks.
