Providing insight into the US Army ’ s multiple ERP system convergence , Frank Wilde , Multi-Functional Capabilities Team Advisor to the Director , explains views of operational excellence
A prestigious organisation built on operational excellence , centred around protecting the country and supporting troops on the ground . The US Army is more than just military ; it encompasses a number of facets that translate into prosperity for the nation .
At the heart of this is a core leadership that stems from centuries of pride and determination within the US Army and will continue to evolve as it meets one of its most complex yet stimulating operational challenges – digitalisation .
The US Army ’ s digital transformation has already begun . From finance to logistics , the US Army requires a whole host of services to ensure they are prepared for action at any given moment .
As complexities evolved , enterprise resource planning ( ERP ) systems were adopted to manage specific functions with their siloes ; financial planning solutions separated from those used to ensure logistics operations are carried out precisely – all to ensure that Soldiers are fueled and armed for every eventuality .
Fast-forward to today , and the US Army now uses a number of fragmented processes to meet its varying needs , including component and material sourcing , stocking ammunition for the infantry and spare parts for vehicles .
