Abstract

The provisions of this Instruction encompass all logistics studies and related documentation containing logistics research, evaluation and management information, including logistics studies performed "in-house" or by contract, grant or study agreement. The system for collecting, storing, and disseminating logistics research and management information will provide: <br>A. A standardized bank of information regarding logistics studies performed in-house, on contract or under grant. <br>B. A means for avoiding duplication of study effort and attendant resources through ready access to current information concerning logistics studies and logistics research and management information that are planned, in-process and completed. <br>C. A basis for exchange of logistics research and management information, both current and historical. <br>D. A comprehensive collection of completed logistics studies for background research purposes. <br>E. A means for increased application of logistics studies and logistics research and management information in day-to-day operations, and for visibility toward standardization of logistics systems where appropriate. <br>F. Increased effectiveness of logistics research and management information flow with other U.S. Government agencies. <br>G. Active and continuing acquisition of all logistics studies and related documentation. This includes documents from outside DoD when they are considered pertinent to the logistics management efforts of the DoD. <br>H. Prompt and well-indexed announcements of currently significant logistics studies and related documentation. <br>I. In-depth custom bibliographic services about all logistic functional and sub-functional areas.
