Engineering Logistics CONOP
III. Logistics System Characteristics
________________________________________________________________________
The characteristics of the future engineering logistics system were
developed to provide greater definition of the end state. They have
been carefully written to avoid reference to any specific
organizational solution. They were also selected, from among many
possible characteristics, to be consistent will the principles
identified earlier. However, there is not a one-to-one match between
principles and characteristics. Several characteristics contribute
to or support more than one principle. Appendix II is a matrix that
shows the relationship between the characteristics and the
principles. A shaded box in the matrix indicates that the
characteristic on a given row supports the principle in the
intersecting column. To facilitate future planning,
characteristics have been grouped into the management functions of
planning, organizing, resourcing, evaluating/informing and
guiding/changing.
A.
Planning
Strategic Direction. The Logistics Advocate will set the
strategic direction, goals, and objectives of the Coast Guard
logistics program and make macro-level adjustments to the
distribution of logistics resources. The logistics system will
provide the information necessary for the Logistics Advocate and
other to evaluate the performance of the system with respect to
these objectives.
Logistics Planning. Cross-functional teams will do
integrated logistic system planning to support facility,
platform and equipment level maintenance and supply plans.
Maintenance and Supply Interdependence. Maintenance-related
supply requirements will emanate from maintenance and operations
plans. Likewise, the supply situation will be considered in
maintenance and operations plans.
Maintenance Planning. Maintenance will be centrally planned
and documented for each platform and for selected equipment
types. The resulting plans will address maintenance at all
levels (i.e., depot, intermediate, and organizational), for each
integrated logistics support (ILS) element, and trigger the
appropriate planning, programming, budgeting and evaluation.
Maintenance Standards. Maintenance standards will be
centrally planned and documented for selected shore logistics
services, structures and equipment types.
Centralized Planning for Inventory Management. The purchase
and inventory management of selected items, including the
placement and quantity of inventory at all levels, will be
centrally planned, based on responsiveness and cost
considerations. The support plan will be coordinated with
visible to the user community.
