Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page paper discussing in general terms changes in logistics management in the electronic environment and how that environment as affected the supply chain operation of the Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR), an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. As is the case with supply organizations in the private sector, DSCR increasingly relies on the electronic environment to accomplish its mission of supplying hundreds of thousands of items to military installations around the world. The electronic environment has enabled DSCR to operate more like a business and less like "government," reducing the negative connotations that were common in the past with the goal of eliminating them.

private-sector considerations apply to DSCR operation, though those pressures may be manifested in different ways. Increasing standards of operation require that government agencies
