DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
 

Total Asset Visibility Government-Industry Conference

AGENCY: Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, Logistics.

ACTION: Notice of conference.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Logistics) (DUSD/L) is 
sponsoring a Total Asset Visibility (TAV) Government-Industry 
Conference on March 9-10, 1994 in Springfield, Virginia. TAV is DoD's 
program for implementing comprehensive improvements to its logistics 
processes and systems to track material throughout the pipeline, from 
procurement to disposal. The lack of asset visibility has hampered 
support of military operations during all previous conflicts. DUSD/L 
has established TAV as one of DoD's highest priority tasks. DUSD/L 
recognizes that the commercial sector has been aggressively 
streamlining inventory, eliminating obsolescence, utilizing new 
technologies and reducing support costs; DUSD/L wants to capitalize on 
the most successful practices in government and commercial sectors. 
This conference will feature five panels made up of government and 
industry executives who will evaluate and recommend most successful TAV 
practices. Their discussions will focus on: (1) TAV technologies, (2) 
industry practices, (3) overall DOD practices, (4) management/tracking 
by commodity/class and (5) management/tracking by weapon system. This 
event is part of a continuing process to develop and deploy a road map 
for downsizing and improving management of logistics. Prospective 
government and industry panel participants and conference attendees are 
encouraged to quickly contact Sam Baker or Mary Claire Murphy at the 
American Defense Preparedness Association in Arlington, Virginia. 
Phone: (703) 522-1820. Please refer to ADPA Event # 478. Those in 
Industry with relevant table-top demonstrations/exhibits are strongly 
encouraged to present their displays.

DATES: March 9-10, 1994.
