Why are we doing this? • Over 600 CONUS shipping locations • More receiving locations • No enterprise-wide vision, collaboration or direction • 3PLs are particularly effective in the commercial world • So why not DoD? • Our SE region “pilot program” gave OSD confidence to press ahead • We can garner efficiencies as well as cost savings…. • Improve operational effectiveness • Support strong small business participation • Improve customer confidence • Reduce cycle times (defined as time from request for movement to delivery) • Increase efficiencies • Develop a partnership to integrate commercial best practices • Enable process improvements • Achieve cost savings • Integrate seamlessly with the DoD Strategic Distribution System • Protect operational capability like a DoD critical infrastructure asset DTCI Goals

Market Research and Industry discussions indicate thresholds are achievable Performance Thresholds • On-time pickup – 98% • On-time delivery – 98% • Loss and damage-free shipments – 98% • Process loss and damage claims in a timely manner – 99% within 120 days • IT systems available for use – 99% • Small business subcontracting – 20% first year
How will we measure performance? • Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) • Performance Objectives and Thresholds • Surveillance responsibilities of the government • Procedures for evaluating performance and resolving issues • Program Management Review (PMR) • Comparison of contractors monthly report against Transportation Officer (TO) shipper system/hard copy data • QA Representative on site forwards to DTCI PMO quarterly • If sub-standard performance, a % of management services will be reduced • Random Inspections • Web-based Process Change Request System / Customer Feedback
