Supply Chain Special Handling
• Expertise with keep frozen, do not freeze, target temperature, and live samples
• Transfers between modes and handling groups
• Redundant and contingency provisions
• Legal and regulatory challenges
• Tracking & monitoring tools• Export controlled items
Supply Chain Population Management
• Forecasting/Actual Populations all stations
• Screen deployment qualifications before ticketing
• Ticketing for 2,500 non-military ($6M)
• Airline ticket concessions• NAVCHAPS movement
PH/MCM• Orientations for RPSC/NANA• Technical Event processing• Major events planning
Constraints• Must be PQ’d to ticket• Advanced ticketing minimum 3
weeks• Redeployments from Ice always
changing• Hotel rooms in CHC after
earthquake• Deployment software (manual
Excel) is inefficient• Emergency assistance (mass
communications)

Recommended Deployment Dates
Supply ChainLegacy Infrastructure & Systems
•27 warehouses MCM - manpower intensive to manage, inventory, issue, order, replace - need consolidation of bldgs & cover for outside matl’s & new freezer warehouse•Must support equipment from 1954 to present (excessive range of parts)•Legacy purchasing and tracking software (circa 1990) hampers innovation and evolution•No bar coding & no RFID for tracking or inventory•Insufficient Do Not Freeze storage•Material handling equipment old – inefficient & safety issues•Fuel storage capacity at McMurdo insufficient for even single missed delivery•Fuel storage capacity at South Pole insufficient to last 12 months
