Military supply chains are unique because what is supplied to the end user is
routinely returned to the supply chain for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).
Offering a blueprint for transforming military depot workload and processes into
those of high-performance commercial facilities, Enterprise Sustainability:
Enhancing the Military.s Ability to Perform its Mission provides a powerful system
of concepts and tools for enhancing the ability of the military to perform MRO on
its weapon systems. These concepts and tools are applicable to any enterprise,
military or commercial, that is concerned about sustainability.

The text focuses on five abilities that must be considered to achieve efficient,
cost-saving operations:

Availability of required parts, facilities, tools, and manpower

Dependability of the weapon systems

Capability of the enterprise to perform the mission

Affordability and improving the life cycle cost (LCC) of a system or project

Marketability of concepts and motivating decision makers

Aging weapons systems, an aging workforce, limited financial resources, new
technologies, and an increased military operational tempo demand that the military
develop an aggressive transformation plan for its sustainability. This book follows
An Architecture for a Lean Transformation, the first in a series dedicated to the
sustainment of an enterprise. In this second volume, the authors continue to provide
an analysis of, and prescription for, the strategies, principles, and technologies
that are necessary to sustain an enterprise like the military and the weapons system
it develops and utilizes.
