Simple and efficient plans
Logistical plans should be simple, adaptable, and efficient to remain effective under changing conditions.
Key considerations:
- Use available assets effectively
- Match vehicle type and load to the task
- Avoid overloading or underutilising key assets
- Maintain flexibility
- Allow for changes in routes, objectives, or availability
- Improve resilience
- Mix supply types across vehicles to reduce losses
- Include spare parts, vehicles, and contingency supplies
- Reduce reliance on long routes
- Use staging points or distributed supplies to shorten travel distances
