Integrated Logistics Support

• ALC provides Integrated Logistics Support to our clients, including developing Total Life Cycle Management strategies that assesses the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics processes against goals and provides visibility into process facilitators and constraints.

• To support agile initiatives, we develop Integrated Logistics Support Plans, Life Cycle Sustainment Plans, Independent Logistics Assessments (ILAs), Logistics Readiness Reviews (LRRs), and Life Cycle Cost Estimates (LCCEs).

Distribution Planning

• ALC develops distribution strategies to facilitate the flow of materials from the sources of supply to the ultimate end point by minimizing constraints, improving pipeline velocity, and maintaining accountability.

• We develop strategic staging plans to preposition materials based on demand patterns and transportation capabilities to meet critical mission requirements.

• ALC establishes, implements, and maintains Provisioning Programs, including identifying items for supply management, establishing data for cataloging, preparing allowance lists, and ensuring efficient outfitting.

• We define the processes necessary to acquire, catalog, receive, store, transfer, issue and dispose of spares, repair parts, and supplies.

Provisioning

• ALC prepares Procurement Technical Data, Engineering Data for Provisioning, Provisioning Parts Lists, Tools and Equipment Lists, Repairable Item Lists, and configuration control documentation.

• ALC evaluates supply demand data, ensuring that tools, spares and expendables are sufficient to meet demands.

• We develop process flows and master schedules to summarize key provisioning events and milestones.

Sustainment

• ALC develops Life Cycle Support strategies as an integral part of the acquisition process and performs Integrated Logistics Support management to continually account for operational requirement changes, technology updates, and budget constraints.

• ALC assists with oversight of the supplier agreements such as Prime Vendor Agreements, improving asset visibility, operational readiness, cost mitigation, and reporting.

• We develop Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) Plans to identify potential instances of DMSMS, assess the negative impacts to readiness, analyze potential mitigation strategies, and implement cost-effective strategies to ameliorate negative outcomes.

Storage and Inventory Management

• ALC plans and organizes warehouse management functions to optimize order fulfillment, reduce inventory discrepancies, and minimize operating costs.

• We also perform stock control to maintain the accuracy of inventory records, reconcile transactions, and validate shipment confirmation.

• ALC has operated warehouse facilities in support of our civilian and military clients at multiple worldwide locations.

   

Product Support Requests

• ALC assists clients with Product Quality and Supply Discrepancy issues by collecting pertinent information, conducting causative research, and recommending corrective actions.

Cataloging Action Requests

• ALC performs cataloging actions in conjunction with system provisioning, the acquisition of new assets, design changes, and configuration updates.

• For US Government-owned assets, we coordinate with the Defense Logistics Agency’s Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) to obtain a National Stock Number and to specify item record information.

Technical Data Management

• ALC prepares technical data to describe an asset in terms of its function, organization, parts, and details to allow for the proper identification of the item to facilitate the manufacturing and supply process.

• Our technical data descriptions include all engineering drawings, blueprints, and military specifications.

Configuration Management

• ALC manages the configuration of military equipment and major systems in accordance with MIL-HDBK-61 and ANSI/EIA-649.

• ALC collects and uploads configuration documentation that defines the performance, functional and physical attributes of the item, including specifications, equipment functional description, drawings, identification numbers, parts listings, operational and maintenance manuals, vendor cage, serial number, hierarchical sequence code, reference identification code, and assigned NSNs.

• ALC develops Item Unique Identification Plans (IUIPs) for DoD clients to distinguish one item from another like item to allow individual record management for the life cycle of the asset.

• We assist with accountability and configuration management, protection against counterfeit parts, and maintenance continuity.

• ALC initiates, manages, and submits engineering change documentation to address design changes and configuration updates.

Disposal

• ALC manages the disposal process, including the reuse, transfer, donation, selling, or destruction of excess surplus property.

Training

• Our Training Specialists provide the full spectrum of training—from curriculum development to delivery and training evaluation.

• We offer clients logistics and supply chain management classroom and on-the-job training utilizing industry, military, and ALC-developed materials.

• ALC’s training support includes New Equipment Training as part of the provisioning process.
