New business realities
System Dynamics – Transformative Change
In observing different wars of the past, the technologies and weapons have changed in each one. We have to adapt and overcome challenges of different circumstances. As I work in Military Logistics, I have gotten to know the process as it is today. As I try to learn more about my profession, I talk and work with some of the older statesman. They tell me stories of much harder and time consuming processes. Back in the earlier days wars were fought by hand to hand combat. Today we use a lot more technology. I recently worked on a drone that could be sent in the air, over the desert and into warzones instead of the soldier to inform them of what is to come. Unfortunately, some would rather retire instead of continuing to adapt to the forever changing world of technology.
This attitude hurts our country because these men and women have much knowledge to offer. They have experience of battle, have been many places and have seen things that the younger man or woman has not. If we could combine the modern tech-savvy young man or woman with the old and knowledgeable, we may be able to build a very proficient logistics system to ensure the warfighter receives what they need in the field. So they are not waiting on parts for systems, or trying to cut corners get the job completed, so they can get the mission up and running. These old timers can help save time and money, but most importantly save lives.
E-Business Systems – The New Infrastructure
In addition to the weapon change, every avenue that surrounds the weapon has also changed. Provisioning military parts went from hard copies to electronic. Certain requests or parts to be ordered are now being done through a military electronic system call LMP instead of relying on the mailman. Provisioning of parts for systems is all organized on a computer. We can communicate through email instead of typing up letters using paper and stamps. We have meetings using webcam saving
