Marine Corps Intermediate-Level Supply Chain Management Analysis

1. PER REF A, THIS MARADMIN ANNOUNCES THE INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL
SCM ANALYSIS TO ASSESS AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDED COURSES OF ACTION TO
IMPROVE GARRISON INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL SCM. 
2. THE MARINE CORPS INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL SCM ANALYSIS IS A PHASED
ANALYSIS. 
 A. PHASE I IS A BASELINING EFFORT TO ESTABLISH, QUANTIFY, AND
DOCUMENT INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL SCM ACROSS THE MARINE CORPS' SUPPORTING
ESTABLISHMENT (SE). IT WILL PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION, AND
RECOMMENDED COAS FOR IMPROVED EFFECTIVENESS 
AND EFFICIENCIES. ONGOING SCM INITIATIVES WILL BE APPRAISED 
AND INCORPORATED IN THE RECOMMENDED COAS. TO SUPPORT THE
POSSIBILITY OF A-76 COMPETITIONS, ACTIONS CONSISTENT WITH REFS 
B AND C WILL BE CONDUCTED. DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A-76 ACTIONS,
CONGRESS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ANALYSIS. REF A SPECIFIED A
DELIVERABLE NLT 28 APRIL 06, AND SUBSEQUENTLY PHASE 
I CLOSURE NLT MAY 06.
 B. SUBSEQUENT PHASES WILL INVOLVE THE DETAILED ANALYSIS 
AND REFINEMENT OF THE COAS WITH THE GREATEST POTENTIAL AS WELL AS
PROVIDE A POA&M FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE COAS. 
3. ACTION: 
 A. MARCORLOGCOM IS DESIGNATED AS THE SINGLE LEAD AGENCY TO
CONDUCT THIS ANALYSIS. 
 (1) NLT 10 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS MARADMIN, MARCORLOGCOM
WILL FORM AN OPERATIONAL PLANNING TEAM (OPT) COMPRISED OF
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE MARFORS, HQMC, AND THE 
SE TO SERVE IN AN ADVISORY CAPACITY. 
 (2) MARCORLOGCOM WILL PROVIDE A POA&M TO HQMC (LR) NLT 
45 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS MARADMIN FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIS PHASE
OF THE ANALYSIS. 
 B. THE MARFORS, HQMC, AND SE WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT AS REQUIRED. 
DIRECT REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION FROM MARCORLOGCOM 
ARE AUTHORIZED AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED.
4. THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS TO THIS ANALYSIS. FIRST, THE
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL PROVIDE THE WAY AHEAD FOR PROVIDING BETTER
INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SUPPORT. SECOND, IT 
WILL HELP SUPPORT ONGOING INITIATIVES (E.G., BASE PROCESS
IMPROVEMENTS, DOD EMALL, REGIONALIZATION, LOGISTICS MODERNIZATION,
MILITARY TO CIVILIAN CONVERSION, BRAC, AND STRATEGIC PURCHASING) BY
PROVIDING A SYNERGISTIC PLAN FOR THESE EFFORTS TO
UTILIZE DURING IMPLEMENTATION. FINALLY, RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE
FINANCIALLY SUPPORTABLE AND FREE UP ASSETS NEEDED FOR MORE DIRECT
SUPPORT TO OUR OPERATING FORCES.
