The Department of Defense (DoD) has a very large, complex distribution and supply system. The current systems and processes used to manage these distribution and supply systems are inefficient and often inaccurate regarding the location of items within the systems. The Auto-ID Center has developed a Networked Physical World system that enables the accurate, real-time identification and location of all physical items throughout distribution and supply systems. This paper characterizes the DoD distribution and supply systems, and identifies several significant problems within these systems. The paper also analyzes how the Auto-ID Center's system can be used to eliminate these problems and improve the overall DoD distribution and supply systems.
