• Define and support the development of logistics and maintenance training programs for end-users and support personnel.
• Track and report on key logistics metrics, including Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) data, Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), and logistics footprint.
• Utilize logistics modeling and simulation tools to forecast sustainment costs and recommend system or support architecture changes to improve life cycle cost (LCC).
• Designing and implementing supply chain networks to optimize resource use and reduce costs.
• Developing logistic plans and strategies to improve the efficiency of operations.
• Analyzing data to understand and improve the logistic processes.
• Evaluating vendor operations according to quality standards and delivery capacity.
• Coordinating and planning warehouse, distribution and transportation operations.
• Developing risk management programs to ensure continuity of supply in emergency scenarios.
• Collaborating with other departments to integrate logistics with business processes, such as customer sales, order management, accounting, and shipping.
• Developing procedures for logistics management to optimize product workflow and minimize cost.
