To give customers a firsthand view of their items in
DLA’s care, Defense Logistics Agency Distribution hosted a visit from members of
TACOM’s Integrated Logistics Support Center
May 27.
The group kicked off its visit with a command overview to
gain a better understanding of how DLA Distribution’s supply pipeline provides
global distribution support through its 24 distribution centers.
The brief also explained how through the organization’s standard
processes and performance metrics ensure efficient and effective support to its
customers.
Following the brief, the visitors toured DLA Distribution
Susquehanna’s central warehouse, where they witnessed the magnitude and scope of
the mission at DLA’s largest distribution center. They also toured the
distribution center’s Aerial Delivery operation where employees store a wide
variety of parachutes, elastic cord, and repair parts. This
