SITUATION
Logistics communities with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) had developed along distinct paths, each with their own management processes and information systems, creating an inefficient situation
that resulted in excess cost and presented barriers to enterprise level decision making. d/ap was brought in to support USCG's large-scale transformation effort to develop a single, unified logistics and finance
system.
APPROACH
d/ap provides long-term support to the USCG's Logistics Transformation using best practices and industry standards to combine a clear vision of future logistics with a recognition of the
realities and constraints specific to the USCG. d/ap identified and currently supports four components essential to the project's success:
- 1. Logistics Operational Requirements & Capabilities
- 3. Marketing & Communications
- 4. Organizational Change Management
d/ap deliverables include:
- Concept of Operations (CONOPS)
- Many of the core components of the overall logistics transformation program.
- Business case development (OMB 300)
- Capability and requirements definition
- Change management activities
- Marketing and communications activities,
- Risk management planning, and
- Facilitation and analytical support activities.
RESULTS
d/ap improves efficiency & effectiveness by aligning all logistics and procurement models, resulting in potential 24% ROI with $70 M in recurring savings.
The USCG has identified d/ap as a key architect of its transformation and has relied on its support since the inception of the program in 2005.
