Supply Chain Resilience

Supply chain resilience arms decision-makers with trusted data for faster, intelligent action. By integrating systems, approaches, and policy, supply chain resilience enables a holistic approach to ensuring material is available when and where it’s needed. Deliver actionable insight beyond a list of potential risks, provide threat prioritization, model impacts and mitigation options, and share related costs and return on investment with LMI’s supply chain resilience solutions.

To effectively tackle challenges like quality issues, increased cybersecurity threats, financial stress, and foreign ownership, modern supply chains must be resilient and have robust visibility into potential vulnerabilities. These issues are exacerbated by factors such as port congestion, labor shortages, and geopolitical instability, leading to significant risks of delays, increased costs, and potential mission failures. The need for proactive risk management and strategic planning has never been greater to ensure the secure, reliable, and efficient delivery of critical products, especially for federal agencies. Without these measures, supply chains remain vulnerable to disruptions that can severely impact operational security, public health, and national security.

LMI offers actionable insights with advanced analytics, and modeling and simulation to proactively identify risk, assess impacts, prioritize threats, and evaluate mitigation options. Our holistic solutions integrate your data and systems investments with cutting-edge technology and best practices to help you anticipate and prepare for potential disruptions. LMI arms decision-makers with trusted data for faster, intelligent action to ensure critical materials are available when and where they’re needed.

LogSmart™ Supply Use Cases 

  • DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO): LMI leverages LogSmart™ Supply for developing and maintaining the DoD CDAO’s Supply Chain Risk Evaluation Environment (SCREEn) tool. By using advanced data engineering and architecture, LMI ensures seamless data ingestion from various sources, including commercial and government databases, to provide a unified common operating picture and enable real-time risk identification and mitigation, projecting operational effects on critical supply chains like the F-35. With cutting-edge modeling techniques and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) tools, LMI is enhancing the accuracy and reliability of supply chain simulations for rapid scenario development and strategic planning. This comprehensive approach ensures that SCREEn remains a robust and flexible solution, supporting the DoD's mission-critical needs and compliance with regulations such as NDAA Section 856.
  • United States Agency for International Development (USAID): LMI was responsible for the development of an agency-wide Information and Communications Technology Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Strategy and a comprehensive Implementation Plan and Roadmap outlining steps to establish and mature an effective SCRM program.  LMI led efforts to implement the plan to identify and address supply chain risks and ensure compliance with evolving legislation, regulations, directives, and guidance related to SCRM to include Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 requirements and Government Accountability Office recommendations. LMI continues to provide critical leadership, subject matter expertise, and support to mature the SCRM program, including the development, updating, and implementation of SCRM policies and procedures, to include conducting supplier and supply chain risk analyses.
  • Defense Logistics Agency (DLA): LMI applied AI/ML technologies to develop a standard, repeatable process to illuminate supply chain risks within Tier 1 to Tier N suppliers. Risk information included foreign ownership, information technology software use and vulnerabilities, and NDAA Section 889 concerns. This data was integrated with other government data sources to help predict supplier failures or potential missed deliveries to help prioritize mitigation actions. LMI’s support enabled DLA to proactively make risk-informed decisions and identify leading indicators of risk during its post-award processes.
