Their monthly analysis of breach, pick, manifest and delivery times ensured the timely delivery of over 110,000 lower priority routine stock replenishments to over 20 DLA Aviation Retail Air Force shop service centers.

These results were validated by on-site temporary duty headquarters inventory subject matter experts.

Packing and crating significantly increased output by seven and a half percent compared to the previous year output. The operational packing and crating work plan executed by 140 personnel resulted in the quality completion of over 264,000 work orders and generated revenue of over $10.5 million.
