I am just looking for new/fresh ideas on how to improve logistical support at a Company and Battalion level. I am trying to learn how to leverage outside resources, such as the FSC, other support avenues, and also utilize organic assets to build a stronger logistics and supply identity and performance. 

At my Company, we have a great Supply Sergeant, but we seem to run into some silly issues. I am looking for ways to manage this at a Company leadership level so that I can support him, but also find better ways to plan for our needs and address short-comings that are systemic and not performance based. 

What has worked for you when you have needed to plan and manage the logistics piece of operations?

Lean Six Sigma, Airspeed methods. These approaches to logistical problem solving in the work place are the best. Also these methods are industry standard, and available to the military.

Sometimes I learn by making flow charts, SOPs, or interviewing supported units.

First question I would pose, what does your YTB look like? Does your/commander have the intent to do the same? Have you held a discussion with the BSB commander as he is the senior log guy in that chain? I run into this all the time and falling under a logistics chain of command, I have superiors lack this understanding also. Hope this helps.
