Since LMP went live in 2003, the Army has exceeded industry standards in the following key areas:
- System Availability
- System Response Time
- Interface Transaction Flow
- Security Access
- Moving Change Requests to Production
- Automated Processing
LMP leverages SAP’s industry-leading ERP technology to address all business practices associated with moving goods from factory to foxhole. LMP fully supports sourcing and acquisition, production scheduling, order processing, inventory management, transportation, warehousing and customer service. Today, U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and other occupied hotspots around the world reap the benefit of this technology.
As the linchpin of DoD’s Single Army Logistics Enterprise (SALE) program, LMP makes it possible for logistics systems to interact with acquisition and financial systems. This allows soldiers to get need supplies faster, while also equipping DoD leaders and Army commanders with the real-time visibility into inventory, requisition and distribution checkpoints.
As prime contractor for this effort, CSC has led one of the first ERP projects in the U.S. Department of Defense. LMP also is the first U.S. government outsourcing of the entire modernization and operation of a major IT system. This pioneering effort has forged a unified team of CSC and Army staff working seamlessly to streamline the connection from the factory to foxhole. Learn more about this new kind of teamwork.
Winning Awards, Garnering Industry Credentials
International Data Group (IDG), publisher of InfoWorld, has recognized CSC with a 2007 InfoWorld 100 Award for its work on the LMP. These awards honor IT projects that demonstrate the most creative use of cutting-edge technologies to serve well-defined business goals. Read press release.
In September 2007, CSC’s support for LMP won an honorable mention from the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement (IDGA) in the category “Outstanding Industry Leader in Military Logistics.”
This followed another prestigious industry credential in July 2007: SAP Customer Competence Center (CCC) recertification. CCC certification signifies that an organization has met SAP standards for its practices, procedures and performance. Less than four percent of worldwide SAP implementations and fewer than one percent of SAP clients in North America have been awarded the certification, according to industry figures.
LMP has also achieved compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA). The designation means that the LMP substantially meets federal financial systems requirements, applicable federal accounting standards and the U.S. Government Standard General Ledger at the transaction level.
