Abstract cut-off date was FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 2008!

The objective of DMSMS 2008 is to focus on the need for proactive DMSMS management to support the warfighter, and includes activities required to attain this goal such as Value Engineering, Total Life Cycle Management, or Parts Management. To meet this objective our approaches to managing the ever-present obsolescence problem must be examined. Logistics Management of the foreseeable future will require current force support, reset of today’s major systems, and development of the future force. This situation requires technical initiatives throughout the Total Life Cycle, preparing for constant changes in industrial base capabilities. As the military seeks a quicker, more lethal warfighting capability, we must also implement business practices that respond to non-availability issues rapidly and efficiently. Utilization of modern information technology to anticipate problems and share solutions becomes a requirement to support the warfighter. This conference will present an opportunity to hear the views of military and industrial leaders on what will be required to support the modern warfighter and a forum to discuss the best programmatic, technical and logistics approaches.

You are invited to submit an abstract for your proposed presentation. Submitted abstracts should enhance the discussion of the various initiatives and technology supporting the modern warfighter as well as programmatic and logistics approaches. The general rules for submitting abstracts are listed on the general rules page.

Please make sure you read and understand the rules before submission.
