Logistics Engineering Perspective

Global military operations, rising costs, resource constraints, and a future of strategic uncertainty demand that logistics deliver higher weapon-system availability while simultaneously reducing costs.

A logistics engineering approach is the most effective method for enabling logistics transformation and achieving these goals. Logistics engineering brings science to the art of logistics and optimizes difficult, programmatic decisions in a resource-constrained environment throughout a weapon system’s entire life cycle.

Booz Allen’s logistics engineering capability brings the analytic rigor and precision needed to support logistics transformation through timeless knowledge-based decision making across the entire weapon-system life cycle. Our broad, in-depth understanding of the acquisition process and the Department of Defense logistics system, vast experience in the commercial sector, and tremendous organizational resources allow us to bring the required expertise to help each of our clients achieve optimal systems supportability. The foundation of such knowledge-based logistics decision making is logistics engineering.

Booz Allen's Dale Carpenter, Dean Fish, Russell Gimmi, and Anthony Kime are the authors of "Logistics Engineering Perspective."
