•Case Study: DMLSS
The United States Department of Defense runs a program called Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS). DMLSS' mission essentially is twofold: make medical logistics support more effective and lower its costs. DMLSS is designed to be the standard system to support all military medical activities for medical supply, equipment and facility management functions.
In all, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps were operatingon 13 different medical logistics systems worldwide. Sharing information between branches was difficult, if not impossible. Smaller computer programs within each branch system further entangled communication.
What would most benefit the military would be one standard system, one efficient, cost-effective, secure and easy-to-use system. To that end, when the DoD built its new system, it included major functions supported by a wireless mobile computer from Intermec Technologies.
