  1. The Changing Nature of Warfare Demands Changes in Supply Chain Support. Network-Centric Warfare Global Information Grid Focused and Agile Just Enough Inventory-Based Yesterday: Desert Storm Today: OIF Tomorrow More is better Large amounts of material measured in days of supply Use massive inventory to overcome uncertainty in demand and supply Mass inventories slow down operational flexibility and are unaffordable Adaptive system Inventory is dynamically positioned throughout Uses transportation flexibility and modern IT to handle demand uncertainty Supports distributed, uncertain operations On-time is better Inventory is reduced to a minimum and kept moving Use demand prediction and static optimization to purge uncertainty Higher Risk Prime Metric: Speed / Time Definite Delivery Prime Metric: Days of Supply Prime Metric: Flow Time
