The complexity of modern Air Force equipment requires current supply systems to provide continual control and timely support, particularly during surge periods such as a war or an increased defense alert. Warehouses must support the entire spectrum of equipment ranging from World War II vintage to the most complex, modern systems and costs of maintaining a responsive supply system under these conditions have continuously increased. The new system is designed to help ensure combat readiness and capability, while reducing the costs of mamtaining a responsive supply system. It will help maximize combat readiness and reduce the operating costs by: Increasing logistics centers' responsiveness to spares and parts requisitions, particularly those urgent requests from depot maintenance or field By Richard Hansen out-of-servi- Directorate of Distribution The Ogden Air Logistics Center will record another first in 1986 when the Automated Warehouse System becomes operational Construction on the new system has already begun. As the mission of the directorate is to maximize Air Force combat readiness by providing rapid and timely delivery of critical parts and spares to operational combat organizations throughout the world, an improved warehouse system was considered necessary. The directorate here was selected to write system specifications for all Air Force Logistics Command centers and will be the first center to receive the system which will ensure the command's ability to rapidly and effectively deploy sophisticated, weapons and maintain the units in a ready condition. Supply functions here support the mission by providing rapid delivery of parts and spares to both depot and field maintenance and repair activities. Parts shortages and delivery delays must be avoided since they can severely hamper the Air Force's ability to maintain peacetime deterrence or react to combat emergencies. Readiness is maintained when high-performan- ce . commands Increase efficiency to reduce pipeline time and therefore decrease number of assets needed to be purchased Improve warehouse space utilization to increase inventory capacity Increase productivity and accuracy of invento ry to reduce costs and reduce delivery times of critical parts Provide system capability to meet surges of supply demands The new system will affect every warehouse. Material tracking and accounting for all storage fa- cilities will be automated and in certain warehouses, storage and retrieval vehicles will be directed through computer control to aid operators in performing custody, storage and issuance of material. An interface of onboard hardware supported by a progressive software approach will provide a most method of material visibility and processing. Bar code labeling and portable inventory terminals will also aid in realizing the maximum benefit from' the system. According to Larry Dorius, project engineer, the project is on schedule with actual construction of related facilities progressing. Application software is under review and hardware and software testing should begin before the end of the year. The new system, which utilizes Raymond vehicles and Sperry 110062 computers, will cost approximately $10 million but will provide sufficient sav-ings to the government to pay for the system in less than five years. up-to-da- te 1985 DODGE J Radio Litton Saudi Arabia Limited is a multinational systems engineering company.
