DST - Decision Support Tool for Army Materiel Command

Product Summary
Background
The Army is faced with the continuous challenge of getting the right equipment (materiel supply) to the right place at the
right time (demand). To locate, prepare the equipment and get it to the units to meet requirements, the Secretary of the
Army gave Army Materiel Command (AMC )the mission of being the Lead Materiel Integrator (LMI) – the manager of Army
materiel redistribution.
AMC, as well as a number of additional stakeholders, provide high-level documents that direct what equipment soldiers
need and in what priority. Knowing who has what equipment and knowing its readiness state is critical. Therefore, these
stakeholders and documents drive the equipment demand.
In turn, the Secretary of the Army also directed that all of the supply data would come from one place: Logistics Support
Activity (LOGSA) Information Warehouse (LIW). To help organize this supply and prepare it to source against the demand
provided by the stakeholders, LOGSA created the LMI DST-SM tool (Lead Materiel Integrator Decision Support ToolSourcing Module.
DST-SM is the unclassified, web-based, collaborative tool the LMI uses to lead the Army Materiel stakeholders through
the planning and execution of Army materiel distribution/redistribution. DST-SM matches validated, prioritized equipment
demands with available Army inventory in depots, non-deployed units, and other sources. It can also provide different
scenarios for solving tough equipping distribution problems. The options will help equipment managers consider the impact
of delivery times and transportation costs and the long term effects of any decisions.

The User Interface (UI) consists of the DST-SM Web
Application. Screens for Materiel Sourcing, Dashboard/Reports,
Administration and Filter Sets are identified through a navigation
menu on the DST-SM home page.
•
•
•
Provide an enterprise view of total Army materiel
supply and demand over time.
Match validated, prioritized equipment demands
with available Army inventory in depots, nondeployed units, and other sources to create
proposed sourcing decisions to fill any shortages.
Improve overall Army readiness by more effectively
redistributing materiel.
Dashboards/Reports
Dashboards and Reports provide
a high level view of supply
transactions for graphical analysis.
Dashboards leverage LINs, Units
and Unit cycle data from the
LOGSA Logistics Information
Warehouse
(LIW).
Reports
display a graphical and animated
representation of how the supplies
are sourced against requirements
during a particular cycle.
Filter Sets
Filter Sets allow the user to
build customized Unit, LIN,
Location and Supply filter sets.
These predefined filter sets will
increase workflow efficiency
and personalize the user’s
view throughout the different
modules within DST-SM.
