Force-centric Logistics Enterprise (FLE) (2002-04)

Topic
Long Description
The Force-centric Logistics Enterprise (FLE) was DoD's logistics transformation vision in the 2002-04 timeframe. It's focus was to accelerate logistics improvement, enhance support to the warfighter, and align logistics processes with the operational demands of the 21st Century.  It is being retained on this website as a historical artifact for reference purposes. At the time, FLE encompassed six initiatives:
  • Depot maintenance partnership. This initiative is designed to increase the use of public-and-private partnerships in the operation of DOD's depots. While DOD will continue to have a depot maintenance capability, the partnership initiative should increase private-sector investment in depot infrastructure, foster better, more efficient management of depot workers and facilities, and improve depot business practices.
  • Condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+). The CBM+ initiative covers a variety of technological and business changes designed to create a new maintenance environment in DOD. Projected changes include "enhanced prognosis [and] diagnosis techniques, failure trend analysis, electronic portable or point of maintenance aids, serial item management, [AIT], and data-driven interactive maintenance training." The goal is to improve the operational availability and readiness of weapon systems throughout their life cycles and at reduced cost.
  • Total life cycle systems management (TLCSM).  This initiative primarily targets DOD program managers. It seeks to establish the accountability of program managers to acquire systems in a timely fashion, meet warfighter requirements for system performance throughout a system's life cycle, and integrate sustainability, maintainability and disposal/demilitarization considerations into the acquisition process.
  • End-to-end distribution.  The goal of this initiative is to improve the flow of materiel to the user and synchronize deployment and sustainment efforts. It will produce an integrated, streamlined system of distribution that will provide warfighters with the materiel, and the information about that materiel, that they need. End-to-end distribution will be achieved by instituting new or improved mechanisms that span function and organization boundaries.
  • Executive Agents (EA). This initiative will create a formal process for aligning the designation of executive agents with warfighter requirements identified from the National Defense Strategy. It will produce executive agent assignments that will support the warfighter "across the full spectrum of operations, including support on an end-to-end basis and rapid response to all deployments."
  • Enterprise Integration (EI). As its name indicates, this initiative will bring together information technologies needed to implement new logistics business practices. Building on activities within the military services, Combatant Commands and the Defense Logistics Agency, enterprise integration will use "commercial off-the-shelf tools [to develop] modern, integrated solutions to complex information requirements across the DOD logistics enterprise." Enterprise integration will provide access to the near-real-time, actionable information required for achieving focused logistics.
