Model of integrated logistics requirements of defense organizations

This research was conducted with the aim of identifying and prioritizing the integrated logistics requirements of defense organizations in 1402 and seeks to provide a solution for the implementation of integrated logistics at the level of the armed forces.

This research is applied and descriptive-survey and exploratory in nature. After reviewing the study sources as well as valid and relevant research backgrounds, different areas of logistics integration and their requirements were identified, and then through semi-structured interviews and a survey of a number of experts, while confirming the reduction of requirements from 37 to 29, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed and compiled. The statistical sample of this research is the number of 20 managers, commanders and professors in the field of logistics, who were selected purposefully and based on their experience and expertise in the scientific field. In the quantitative phase of the research, the data, obtained from 13 experts' responses, were evaluated and prioritized by Dimtel Solver and Excel software.

Based on the obtained information, 6 areas and 29 requirements were identified for the implementation of integrated logistics, which were prioritized as 1- intelligent transformation 2- virtualization, 3- networking, 4- agility, 5- cleanliness, and 6- dynamism. In order to have an integrated logistics, a combination of logistics types should be used and implemented.

According to the obtained results, the first priority is to cause intelligence transformation, which should be done by creating a working group regarding the design, construction and preparation of the required program and infrastructure before anything else, and then regarding the virtualization of actions, control, monitoring, the creation of a network, and communication between all dimensions should be made. In the next step, it is necessary to redesign the instructions, plans, and upgrade the trainings and make more use of them.
