PEOPLE PRECISION POSTURE PARTNERSHIPS
Big Picture The Need for Modernization
Paper Pick
Manual Labor
Human Verification
Stationary Terminal
1980s – 2000s
2000s – Future Picking inaccuracy Inefficient use of human resources Loss of time traveling between work floor and terminal.
Human errors Inefficient Processes Accurate picks / increase productivity Goods to person automation Conduct bin face transactions/limits travel Increase accuracy / Reduce human error Efficient Processes Design, Build, Automate & Equip around Simplified Processes & Leverage Technology
DSS
Outdated COBOL system Lacks automated recon Business process re-engineering needed Brains of network capabilities
Voice Pick Process
Automation Tablets & Printers/Wearables
SAP-WMS
COBOL to industry standard Significant cost savings Inherent commercial best practices Robust operating system / audit ready
Modernization Benchmarking – Develop partnerships and learn best practices from industry and government partners
Automated Inventory/ Drone
Modernization is a major Distribution focus which enables the 4 DLA Imperatives: People, Precision, Posture, and Partnerships
Modernization Distribution Network Transformation
EDC Modernization Benefits:
Increased throughput of 139% Increased surge capacity for contingencies
Hardened cyber secure order fulfillment center
Decreased FTE requirement (159 FTEs)
TENETS
Accuracy Efficiency
Visibility
Productivity
Modernizing Equipment & Infrastructure:
Enables Network Optimization Achieves an unmodified audit opinion Top 7 DCs will receive an automation modernization upgrade
Mobile Handhelds:
Incorporates wireless & mobile technologies, including voice technology Enables bin face transactions vs. fixed workstations Integrates with WMS seamlessly Simplify processes to reduce cost, improve productivity, performance and relevancy
Automated Inventory/Drones:
Reduces complexity through DoD & industry standardization Increases material visibility Reduces manual processes & inventory research
Augmented Reality (AR)/Optical Character Recognition (OCR):
Supports efficient, & user-friendly processes Reduces dual certification of serialized assets Conducted OCR pilot at DDAA to capture weapons serial numbers
New order fulfillment center Hardware connected to WMS Upgraded infrastructure

Transformational plan for largest and most impactful facility in the network A robust WES is key to achieving productivity & savings Rollout plan for ECS2.0 & MFS at additional sites New WMS that enables auditability New WES that enables modernization & improved efficiency at all DCs
R & D
Personnel/Production Management Increased Productivity Reduced Resource Requirements Improved Operational Performance
Benefits Improved connectivity and reduced latency for current and future technologies Improved inventory accuracy & reduced manual audit workload Reduced manual validation and increased accuracy for stow and inventory activities Increased workforce productivity & accountability Augmented Reality / OCR
Fast, effective, error-free and user-friendly picking processes.
Automated Inventory Reduce manual requirement to conduct warehouse inventory Leveraging Bluetooth tagging & drones to:
Increase throughput, save time, reduce costs & reduce worker fatigue Autonomous Warehouse Operations Planned FY25 projects
5G / Smart Warehouse
Automated Picking Solutions Indoor-outdoor mule-style AGV Reduce Leadtime Eliminate Human Error Reduce Labor hours & cost Increase Warehouse Operational Efficiency 5G backbone increases connectivity, information throughput, & reliability of systems enabling:
Commercial technology modernizing the logistics industry that enables:
Providing near real time workload visibility & personnel availability, personnel capability monitoring, etc to drive:
Ghost Dog and TZA ProTrack Reduce manual requirements for material movement Modernizing to remain relevant and to better support the Warfighter Meet audit requirements Improve workforce efficiency
Public Private Partnership Authorities Created a pilot (5) program for partnership for contractors of production, modification, maintenance, or repair of a weapon system
Sec 883 FY17 NDAA Sec 862 FY25 NDAA = Permanent PPP Program
The program to provide storage and distribution services to a contractor is made permanent and expanded
Sec 862 FY25 NDAA Removes the pilot status Authorizes PPP for any contractor Sec 883 was weapons systems only Number of PPPs is uncapped No sunset Annual report to Congress through 2029

1 Local Recontrol must be at least one (1) month in advance of WMS go-live to prevent problems at site when DSS is decommissioned
2 WMS Go-Live at ECS 2.0 or WES (DiQ) sites must be done jointly. Site can be ready for Go-Live in advance, but cannot depoy ECS 2.0 or WES (DiQ) without WMS.
★ Projected Go-Live schedule is based upon successful alignment of all Phase 1 elements (Local Recontrol, ECS 2.0, & WES). Any slip in critical path will affect target dates.
