AS SERIAL NUMBER TRACKING OFFICER, HAS REDUCED AVIATION READINESS
COSTS BY REVISING THE SYSTEM OF TRACKING AVIATION COMPONENTS
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESSES OF SUPPLY, MAINTENANCE, AND TRANSPORTATION.
THE NEW SERIAL NUMBER TRACKING METHODOLOGY MERGES AUTOMATIC
IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY, WITH RE-ENGINEERED BUSINESS PROCESSES

HAYES HAS TESTED THE MODIFICATION WITH SHIPBOARD, DEPOT, AND
CONTRACT MAINTAINERS TO SHOW ITS UTILITY FOR NAVYWIDE ADOPTION.

WARFIGHTER READINESS AND SUPPORT MADE BY THIS YEAR'S ARTHUR
AWARD NOMINEES.  I AM EQUALLY APPRECIATIVE OF INITIATIVES BY ALL
LOGISTICIANS TO ENHANCE WARFIGHTER SUPPORTABILITY.  THIS KIND OF
INITIATIVE AND OUT OF THE BOX THINKING SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED,
AND SUPPORTED BOTH THROUGH LOCAL COMMAND RECOGNITION AND THROUGH
PROGRAMS LIKE THE ARTHUR AWARDS PROGRAM.
