The Materiel Supply and Service Management Core Business Mission covers DoD's supply chain, responsible for ensuring enterprise business
capabilities to maintain readiness for the warfighter and sustain the force at a level of performance that meets or exceeds Combatant Commander's requirements. The
key elements of MSSM include the planning, sourcing, procurement, contract management and oversight, operational contract support (OCS), making and manufacturing,
maintenance and repairing, performing logistics and field services, sustainment operations, delivery of property and forces, retail sales, and the return or retrograde
of all classes of supply (materiel), and forces (deployments).
Leveraging an End to End Framework for Strategic Alignment
Based on the DBSMC decision to embrace the E2E business lifecycle as a viewpoint to frame and understand our business environment, MSSM is creating a strategic
alignment to better support the BMA's move from a function-centered approach to one that looks at DoD business functions across the enterprise from an end-to-end
process perspective. The outcome includes optimizing the value chain and increase the DoD Strategic Goals for Alignment, Accountability, and Efficiency. Further,
the E2E Framework will guide the transition from the current segregated, inefficient business, processes, and data within and among Component and functional areas
to an environment that supports optimized decision-making across the Enterprise.
Six Strategic Priorities that MSSM is focused on achieving are:
- 1. Supporting forces who are engaged in overseas contingency operations.
- 2. Achieving affordable programs.
- 3. Improving efficiency.
- 4. Strengthening the industrial base.
- 5. Strengthening the acquisition workforce.
- 6. Protecting the future.
