Improvement in the Army’s Support Storage Activity

Abstract

The lack of efficiency in the turn-in and shipping sections are some of the issues that are affecting the fiscal budget of the Army’s Support Storage Activity (SSA) in Ft. Buchanan. The main causes of these problems are the lack of key personnel willing to understand the importance of complying with the regulations and procedures, while also including many unit supply members throughout the entire process or workflow that ultimately is affecting the SSA and the organization. The procedure for each section of the SSA was identified and analyzed to improve the errors, time, and cost. After the initial meeting, the SSA manager estimated that through direct communication between crucial personnel commanders and periodic orientations to all sections, the SSA improved by 60% weekly. To this date after implementing the improvement, the SSA has managed to have zero error. Key Terms ⎯ Government, Logistics, Storage facilities, Warfare.
