This annual event showcases the research projects funded through the Acquisition Research Program at the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School.  Featuring keynote speakers, plenary panels, multiple panel sessions, a student research poster show and social events, the Annual Acquisition Research Symposium offers a candid environment where high-ranking Department of Defense (DoD) officials, industry officials, accomplished faculty and military students are encouraged to collaborate on finding applicable solutions to the challenges facing acquisition policies and processes within the DoD today.  By jointly and publicly questioning the norms of industry and academia, the resulting research benefits from myriad perspectives and collaborations which can identify better solutions and practices in acquisition, contract, financial, logistics and program management.

Gansler, former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, is the University of Maryland’s Vice President for Research and the Roger C. Lipitz Chair in Public Policy and Private Enterprise.  As the third-ranking civilian at the Pentagon from 1997 to 2001, Professor Gansler was responsible for all research and development, acquisition reform, logistics, advance technology, environmental security, defense industry, and numerous other security programs.  Before joining the Clinton Administration, Dr. Gansler held a variety of positions in government and the private sector, including Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Materiel Acquisition), assistant director of defense research and engineering (electronics), executive vice president at TASC, vice president of ITT, and engineering and management positions with Singer and Raytheon Corporations.  Throughout his career, Dr. Gansler has written, published, and taught on subjects related to his work.  He is a Member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration.  Additionally, he is the Glenn L. Martin Institute Fellow of Engineering at the A. James Clarke School of Engineering, an Affiliate Faculty member at the Robert H. Smith School of Business and a Senior Fellow at the James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership (all three at the University of Maryland).  During 2003–2004, he served as Interim Dean of the School of Public Policy at that institution. Presenter:  Kenneth A. Gabriel, is Senior Research Scholar and Program Manager at the Center for Public Policy and Private Enterprise, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, where he leads research and pilot demonstration of focused and efficient logistics.  He is also Professor of Strategy and New Venture Creation at the RH Smith School of Business, University of Maryland.

Abstract  Commercial and military logistics continue to evolve from amassing supplies, through supply chain management, to (more recently) sense-and-respond networks.  The realization that “demand-pull” is inherently more efficient than a “supply-push” strategy propels the migration from supply chains to demand networks.  Major commercial enterprises in the United States and abroad have already transformed their supply chains to include Sense-and-Respond Logistics (SRL) elements.  Likewise, military planners and leaders have recently recognized the need to adopt SRL to transform military logistics to significantly enhance military readiness while reducing costs. Military supply-chain modernization has recently been the subject of increasing interest as a result of publicized logistics challenges in Iraq and other fronts in the global war on terror.  In response to the need for highly maneuverable, flexible, decentralized logistics, planners have  =====================^Åèìáëáíáçå=oÉëÉ~êÅÜW=íÜÉ=ÑçìåÇ~íáçå=Ñçê=áååçî~íáçå======== - 171 - ==sought to transform military logistics from “legacy” government-provided logistics support to Contractor Logistics Support (CLS).  This, in turn, has brought about the need to retain multiple support strategies to satisfy both complex supply-chain issues and, as may be expected, the need to overcome much institutional resistance to this logistics transformation. This paper presents the successful migration of logistics support of a modern weapon system from a traditional “legacy” approach to an efficient supply-chain management portal that begins to incorporate a SRL strategy.  The demonstrated web-based portal was the first of its kind to integrate Government logistics assets with CLS assets in real time.  This study will review ongoing research and demonstration pilot projects to further migrate logistics from the supply-chain portal to sense-and-respond logistics (or Demand Network Logistics) through intelligent agents, fused sense-and-respond functionalities, Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).  Obstacles to logistics transformation within and between the nodes of the supply-chain network—as well as network security and availability—will be discussed along with prescriptions to overcome these hurdles.  Strategies to implement these technologies within the military services—and ultimately across coalition forces—will be presented.    =====================^Åèìáëáíáçå=oÉëÉ~êÅÜW=íÜÉ=ÑçìåÇ~íáçå=Ñçê=áååçî~íáçå========  ==            THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK  =====================^Åèìáëáíáçå=oÉëÉ~êÅÜW=íÜÉ=ÑçìåÇ~íáçå=Ñçê=áååçî~íáçå ==2003 - 2006 Sponsored Acquisition Research Topics Acquisition Management  Software Requirements for OA  Managing Services Supply Chain  Acquiring Combat Capability via Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)  Knowledge Value Added (KVA) + Real Options (RO) Applied to Shipyard Planning Processes   Portfolio Optimization via KVA + RO  MOSA Contracting Implications  Strategy for Defense Acquisition Research  Spiral Development  BCA: Contractor vs. Organic Growth Contract Management  USAF IT Commodity Council  Contractors in 21st Century Combat Zone  Joint Contingency Contracting  Navy Contract Writing Guide  Commodity Sourcing Strategies  Past Performance in Source Selection  USMC Contingency Contracting  Transforming DoD Contract Closeout  Model for Optimizing Contingency Contracting Planning and Execution Financial Management  PPPs and Government Financing  Energy Saving Contracts/DoD Mobile Assets  Capital Budgeting for DoD  Financing DoD Budget via PPPs  ROI of Information Warfare Systems  Acquisitions via leasing: MPS case  Special Termination Liability in MDAPs Logistics Management  R-TOC Aegis Microwave Power Tubes  =====================^Åèìáëáíáçå=oÉëÉ~êÅÜW=íÜÉ=ÑçìåÇ~íáçå=Ñçê=áååçî~íáçå == Privatization-NOSL/NAWCI  Army LOG MOD  PBL (4)  Contractors Supporting Military Operations  RFID (4)  Strategic Sourcing  ASDS Product Support Analysis  Analysis of LAV Depot Maintenance  Diffusion/Variability on Vendor Performance Evaluation  Optimizing CIWS Life Cycle Support (LCS) Program Management  Building Collaborative Capacity  Knowledge, Responsibilities and Decision Rights in MDAPs  KVA Applied to Aegis and SSDS  Business Process Reengineering (BPR) for LCS Mission Module Acquisition  Terminating Your Own Program  Collaborative IT Tools Leveraging Competence  A complete listing and electronic copies of published research within the Acquisition Research Program are available on our website: www.acquisitionresearch.org             ^Åèìáëáíáçå=êÉëÉ~êÅÜ=mêçÖê~ã=dê~Çì~íÉ=ëÅÜççä=çÑ=ÄìëáåÉëë=C=éìÄäáÅ=éçäáÅó=k~î~ä=éçëíÖê~Çì~íÉ=ëÅÜççä=RRR=avbo=ol^aI=fkdboplii=e^ii=jlkqbobvI=`^ifclokf^=VPVQP=www.acquisitionresearch.org
