RMKS/REF A ANNOUNCES THE ADMIRAL STAN ARTHUR AWARDS FOR LOGISTICS
EXCELLENCE.  THIS AWARD RECOGNIZES MILITARY AND CIVILIAN
LOGISTICIANS WHO EPITOMIZE EXCELLENCE IN LOGISTICS PLANNING AND
EXECUTION.  A FLAG/SES PANEL REVIEWED CANDIDATES AND SELECTED
WINNERS BASED ON INNOVATIONS WHICH MERIT SPECIAL RECOGNITION.  I AM
PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE FIVE WINNERS.
2.  THE 2001 MILITARY LOGISTICIAN OF THE YEAR IS LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER PETER G. STAMATOPOULOS, SC, USN, FROM COMMANDER, LOGISTICS
FORCES, US NAVAL CENTRAL COMMAND, COMMANDER TASK FORCE 53.  AS
OPERATIONS AIR/SEA REPLENISHMENT OFFICER, LCDR STAMATOPOULOS,
DESIGNED AN AUTOMATIC DATA BASE PROGRAM TO MANAGE AFLOAT AND SHORE
COMMODITY INVENTORIES AND AN ISSUE DIRECTIVE PROGRAM.  THESE EFFORTS
PROVIDED BATTLE FORCE LOGISTICS COORDINATORS WITH IMPROVED INVENTORY
SHARING, ASSET VISIBILITY, AND REQUISITION REFERRAL CAPABILITIES.
AS A RESULT, WORKLOAD WAS REMOVED FROM CLF SHIPS AND DISTRIBUTION OF
THEATER ASSETS WAS OPTIMIZED.
3.  THE 2001 WINNER OF THE CIVILIAN LOGISTICIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD IS
MR. BILLY W. BRUNER, JR., LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST, SHIP
MATERIAL AND READINESS DIVISION, COMNAVAIRPAC.  DURING 2001, MR.
BRUNER'S LOGISTICS PLANNING INNOVATIONS RESULTED IN A 40 PERCENT
REDUCTION IN WORK DOCUMENTATION ERRORS FOR POST DEPLOYMENT
AVAILABILITIES.  HIS INNOVATIVE TREND ANALYSES OF AIRCRAFT CARRIER
CONFIGURATION CHANGES ALLOWED THE UPGRADE OF ALLOWANCE LIST RECORDS
IN A MATTER OF DAYS VERSUS WEEKS.
4.  FOR YEAR 2001, LOGISTICS TEAMS WERE SELECTED IN EACH OF THREE
SUB-CATEGORIES:  OPERATIONAL, ACQUISITION, AND JOINT LOGISTICS.
    A.  THE OPERATIONAL LOGISTICS TEAM OF THE YEAR IS THE MARITIME
LOGISTICS DATA NETWORK (MLDN) FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT TEAM FROM USS HARRY
TRUMAN AND COMNAVAIRLANT.  THIS TEAM DEVISED THE MLDN TO PROVIDE
REAL TIME DATA TO SHORE BASED OPERATORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF VIEWING,
INTERPRETING, OR UPDATING A DEPLOYED SHIP'S LOGISTICS INVENTORY AND
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS.  MLDN WILL ALLOW LOGISTICS ASSESSMENT
AND ASSET VISIBILITY FROM ASHORE.  PROTOTYPE TESTS ON USS TRUMAN
SHOWED SAVINGS OF OVER 6,000 SAILOR HOURS DURING 2001.
    B.  THE ACQUISITION LOGISTICS TEAM OF THE YEAR IS THE SMART
TRANSPORTATION SOLUTION TEAM, FROM THE NAVAL TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT
CENTER AND NAVAL INVENTORY CONTROL POINT.  THIS TEAM DEVELOPED AN
ADVANCED PLANNING AND SCHEDULING SYSTEM (SMART TRANSPORTATION
SOLUTION) TO PERFORM TRANSPORTATION FUNCTIONS FOR LOGISTICS
CONTRACTS THAT ARE BEGINNING TO FEATURE THE NEW PERFORMANCE BASED
LOGISTICS SUPPORT STRATEGY.  THIS TEAM'S SYSTEM HAS RESULTED IN
IMPROVED SAME DAY SHIPPING SERVICE TO VENDORS AND NEAR 100%
IN-TRANSIT SHIPMENT VISIBILITY.  PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE A
REDUCTION IN MISROUTED SHIPMENTS, SHIPMENT LOSSES, AND COST SAVINGS
ASSOCIATED WITH DIRECT OVERSEAS SHIPPING.
    C.  THE JOINT LOGISTICS TEAM OF THE YEAR IS THE AUXILIARY POWER
UNIT (APU) TOTAL LOGISTICS SUPPORT TEAM, COMPRISED OF MEMBERS FROM
COMNAVAIRSYSCOM, NAVAL AVIATION DEPOT CHERRY POINT, AND NAVICP
PHILADELPHIA.  THE TEAM FORMED AND EXECUTED A PERFORMANCE BASED
LOGISTICS SUPPORT STRATEGY FOR THESE SYSTEMS WHICH RESULTED IN A

TEAM EFFORTS RESULTED IN A 30 PERCENT INCREASE (65 PERCENT TO 95
PERCENT) IN APU INVENTORY SUPPLY MATERIAL AVAILABILITY.
