RMKS/1.  REF A ANNOUNCED THE SELECTION CRITERIA AND CATEGORIES FOR
THE SUBJECT AWARDS.  THE AWARDS RECOGNIZE 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 THIS YEAR'S WINNERS.
 
2.  THE 2002 MILITARY LOGISTICIAN OF THE YEAR IS COMMANDER  MICHELE
BURK, SC, USN, FROM NAVAL INVENTORY CONTROL POINT, MECHANICSBURG, PA.
CDR BURK DEVELOPED AN ADVANCED PLANNING, SCHEDULING, AND EXECUTION
SOFTWARE TOOL FOR THE EFFICIENT SUPPLY MANAGEMENT OF E-2C HAWKEYE
AIRCRAFT AND LM-2500 MARINE GAS TURBINE ENGINES.  FOR THESE SYSTEMS,
THIS NEW TOOL IS PROVIDING GREATER VISIBILITY INTO OVERDUE REPAIRS
AND PARTS VISIBILITY.  THE TOOL IMPROVES FORECASTING ABILITIES FOR
PROCUREMENT AND MAINTENANCE ACTIONS, BASED ON BUDGET-ORIENTED
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS.  AS A RESULT, INVENTORY INVESTMENT FOR THESE
SYSTEMS CAN BE REDUCED BY APPROXIMATELY 25% WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR
FLEET-SPECIFIED LEVELS OF READINESS.
 
3.  THE 2002 WINNER OF THE CIVILIAN LOGISTICIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD IS
MR. WILLIAM E. SLUPSKI, J52 ENGINE ASSISTANT PROGRAM MANAGER FOR
LOGISTICS, FROM COMNAVAIRSYSCOM, JACKSONVILLE, FL.  MR. SLUPSKI WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECOVERY OF EA-6B J52 ENGINES, FROM A HIGH OF 44
FLEET BARE FIREWALLS IN APRIL 2002 TO ZERO FLEET BARE FIREWALLS BY
DECEMBER 2002.  DECLINING READINESS HAD BEEN PREDICTED FOR 2002 DUE
TO ENGINE BEARING FAILURES IN LATE 2001, READINESS RECOVERY ACTUALLY
OCCURRED ONE YEAR AHEAD OF ESTIMATES, DUE IN LARGE PART TO MR.
SLUPSKI'S INNOVATIVE LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS.
 
4.  THE LOGISTICS TEAM OF THE YEAR IS THE INTEGRATED BATTLE FORCE
TRAINING TEAM, FROM COMSPAWARSYSCOM.  THIS TEAM HAS DEVELOPED THE
MEANS TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS, UP-TO-DATE C4I TRAINING TO THE FLEET,
AND THE ABILITY TO TRACK TRAINING AND TO CONSTANTLY UPGRADE C4I
TRAINING CURRICULA.  USE OF THIS PROGRAM IS NOW MANDATORY FOR ALL
C4I TRAINING ACROSS SPAWAR, AND THE TEAM IS EXPORTING THE PROGRAM
FOR COMNAVSEASYSCOM USE.
