- Metrics and how DLA officials will soon begin measuring how well the agency meets customers’ needs by using existing data to establish baseline goals for time, cost and performance.
- With DLA ready for an audit this year, agency planners are looking forward to the next phase in the agency’s progression: fine tuning its end-to-end processes.
- The Defense Logistics Agency is embracing change through a rejuvenated continuous process improvement program which encourages its employees to submit ideas to improve the process activities they participate in.
