question 

Consider your company's supply chain management team. What are some of the higher level positions and what are their responsibilities? If you came in as a consultant, discuss some recommendations for change including staffing, policy and anything else you can think of.

Students response

Some of the higher-level positions in our organization’s supply chain management works in Naval Supply headquarters that oversees Financial Improvement Audit Readiness support, inventory policy and accuracy, local requisition process, management and configuration of warehouses, receipt management, quality and deficiency management. Code N3, a sub function of NAVSUP is the Logistics Operation Center that works in conjunction with outside stakeholders on long-term supply chain projects to sustain and improve operational readiness. Due to the unique nature of our organization the Navy supply chain has many independent sections that has impactful influences on major decisions. Add to that the high turnover of leadership in higher level positions affecting changes and updates on major decisions. If I came in as a consultant, I would recommend a more transparent view of NAVSUP’s supply chain management to processes, responsibilities and its other elements down to the working. Having an understanding of our supply chain, the more working groups can support the mission and follow required processes.
