Imagine being on the flight deck of a ship at night —
the wind is blowing, visibility is limited and you’re
desperately trying to replace an aircraft component.
You’re starting to make progress, only to find out your
last six hours were pointless because the replacement
part doesn’t work or fit right. Being frustrated is an
understatement.
Experiences like these are what have shaped the work
ethic of Don Carter, Defense Contract Management Agency
San Diego quality assurance specialist.
Throughout the country, small Defense Contract
Management Agency offices perform work to keep the
agency humming. Their geographic location and personal
service allow them to develop essential relationships
with customers and contractors.
Supply
Chain Predictability - making the vision a reality
Defense Contract Management Agency team of
cross-functional and Lean Six Sigma experts took the
agency’s vision of striving to be the Department of
Defense’s leading expert in supply chain predictability
and made it a reality.
“The team’s work moves the agency to the next level in
providing our customers with consistent, reliable and
timely supply chain intelligence across all agency
functions so they can make smart decisions at the right
time to improve their program outcomes,” said Charlie E.
Williams, Jr., DCMA director.
The Defense Contract Management Agency
supports the strategic goals and initiatives of the
Department of Defense and the office of the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and
Logistics. At the core of these goals is the intent to
strengthen acquisition processes and create agile
business operations.
