육군 야전군수활동의 통합운영방안에 관한 연구-군수지원사령부 기능별 지원과 통합운영 성과 비교를 중심으로-

Abstract

Developing aspects have been noticed in the area of supply, maintenance and transportation through the activities of Army field logistics legacy systems. The combat troops, however, have recognized relatively low grade regarding effectiveness of logistics support. We assume that positive impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of logistics support could come true by integrating logistics activities at the contact area. New policy and guidelines were sat up for integrating activities and pilot test was began below corps level. Small warehouses were merged into mid and big size warehouse with priority of demand. Quantity oriented inventory management was replaced by quantity and location basis. Using multi-story loading, equipment and machine for handling were utilized. Weekly supply was changed into daily supply directed to the end user. Transportation was upgraded from back and forth to the milk run. We have proposed the input, process and output key performance indicators for the measurement of the logistics activities. Comparison between the functional support based upon the legacy system and integration support was expected that clear answer for the future direction of Army logistics development. Input indicators showed declining trend of engaged personnel and facilities while process indicators explained steady growth of efficiency. Futhermore, the output indicators represented growing curves of effectiveness and efficiency at the same time. Integrating options have been evaluated for cutting off input activities with growing the effectiveness and efficiency at the field level logistics support area. Both policy making level and field support level can get some lessons and insights with this thesis.
