Supply Chain Fuels

Supply Chain Special Handling

• Expertise with keep frozen, do not freeze, target temperature, and live samples

• Transfers between modes and handling groups

• Redundant and contingency provisions

• Legal and regulatory challenges

• Tracking & monitoring tools• Export controlled items

Supply Chain Population Management

• Forecasting/Actual Populations all stations

• Screen deployment qualifications before ticketing

• Ticketing for 2,500 non-military ($6M)

• Airline ticket concessions• NAVCHAPS movement

PH/MCM• Orientations for RPSC/NANA• Technical Event processing• Major events planning

Constraints• Must be PQ’d to ticket• Advanced ticketing minimum 3

weeks• Redeployments from Ice always

changing• Hotel rooms in CHC after

earthquake• Deployment software (manual

Excel) is inefficient• Emergency assistance (mass

communications)

Recommended Deployment Dates

Supply ChainLegacy Infrastructure & Systems

•27 warehouses MCM - manpower intensive to manage, inventory, issue, order, replace - need consolidation of bldgs & cover for outside matl’s & new freezer warehouse•Must support equipment from 1954 to present (excessive range of parts)•Legacy purchasing and tracking software (circa 1990) hampers innovation and evolution•No bar coding & no RFID for tracking or inventory•Insufficient Do Not Freeze storage•Material handling equipment old – inefficient & safety issues•Fuel storage capacity at McMurdo insufficient for even single missed delivery•Fuel storage capacity at South Pole insufficient to last 12 months
