Cross-fertilization of skill sets and various capacities enhances individual efficiency in various areas of logistics but specifically in the performance of inter-related tasks such as:
Traditional companies tend to offer these services employing several individuals with singular skills sets drawing from the pool of skills displayed (as seen in figure 1) here increasing the number of personnel required to complete several inter-related logistical actions.
The operational approach of A2A hinges upon the principle of total quality management (TQM) and enables real time demand analysis which provides accurate and proper forecasts of critical inventory usage. Other continuous process improvement methods such as Just-In-Time (JIT) sequencing are also employed to prevent overstocking and synchronize a positive flow of required components while reducing storage space which in of itself is waste if not managed accurately.
A2A’s new equipment fielding programs in support of the Department of Defense are dedicated to preserving soldiers’ lives by fielding technology and recently developed or engineer-enhanced equipment within hours of arriving in theatre. Through collaborative efforts with numerous government agencies utilizing prioritized distribution plans and strategic battle field coordination A2A has a proven track record of being able to deliver life-saving equipment directly to the warfighter all over the world under the most geographically and physically austere conditions imaginable.
