Guthrie Commanding General Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command &)Pao Dear General Guthrie: Subject: Intransit Visibility and Performance valuation tystems Need Improvement (DtIH8OHER) y 2oT Pb SO This report discusses the need to improve the quality of data going into the Army's Logistic Intelligence File (LIF), a supply and transportation information system. The report also comments on the need to combine the LIF performance reporting system with the Military Supply and Transportation Evaluation Procedures (MILSTEP) performance reporting system. Our findings are summarized below and are discussed in greater detail in the enclosure. LIF does not receive complete, accurate, and timely in- formation on the movement of material through the supply and transportation pipeline. This has reduced the effec- tiveness of LIF in responding to inquiries on the status of material requisitions and reporting on logistical performance. We tracked 115 requisitions into LIF and found one or more problems with 89 of the requisitions. The problems involved; (1) 52 requisitions with delays of 7 or more days in notifying LIF that actions had occurred, (2) 30 requisitions where erroneous dates were furnished, and (3) 50 requisitions where some required information was not submitted. In order to improve the effectiveness of LIF, we believe that you should --emphasize the need to provide accurate, complete, and timely information on the handling of requisitions, --train personnel responsible for preparing and processing required data and assure that there are adequate numbers of trained personnel, A ~ (943056) / ou I ,,~' .j( ; Z , I
