Supply Chain Illumination in the Department of Defense : Defense Business Board , January 13 , 2025
From the report: “Geopolitical disruptions, evolving threats, and the complexities of modern supply chains underscore the urgent need to enhance visibility, mitigate risks, and build resilience across supply chain networks. The Department of Defense (DoD or “the Department”) requires robust supply chain illumination (SCI) – i.e., an analytical process that provides transparency and visibility into supply chain entities, products, parts and/or raw materials to identify risks and enable proactive mitigation and assured supply -- to maintain national security and operational readiness in an era of increasing uncertainty.
To inform initiatives aimed at strengthening DoD supply chain illumination, the Defense Business Board (DBB) was tasked to complete a study assessing the Department’s current state, identifying private-sector best practices, and providing actionable recommendations. This Study (or Report), Supply Chain Illumination in the Department of Defense, examines how private-sector innovations can enhance DoD’s efforts. It identifies areas for improvement, highlights solutions, and articulates recommendations to improve supply chain transparency, risk management, and resilience.”
