MISSION-SPECIFIC DOMAIN EXPERTISE

Technical Services

SRA combines the latest data collection technology with business process reengineering to unlock the maximum value of supply chain management for the Warfighter. We provide automated, event-driven and standardized supply chain solutions to meet the complex needs of the Department of Defense (DoD). Our decade-long leadership has helped transform the DoD supply chain into a modernized, streamlined system built on a foundation of public/private information sharing and automated data collection.

New standards-based technologies combined with process and policy changes can measurably increase the speed, accuracy and transparency of supply chain events. SRA is a leader in devising business policies and technical standards for the deployment of Automatic Identification Technology (AIT). We created a standard for storing data on high-capacity AIT in the supply chain. This solution ultimately led to greater coordination and interoperability between the DoD supply chain and commercial partners.

SRA’s long history of supporting DoD supply chain initiatives gives us unique perspective and extensive experience matching products to requirements and updating businesses processes and policies to reflect changing technologies.
