JMC faced long-standing challenges of efficiently managing a stockpile of munitions and equipment, along with balancing workforce size and other factors across an extensive network of storage and production facilities. Individual depots and installations, which were operating with a large degree of independence, had incentives to maximize their own workloads rather than operate for optimal efficiency across the entire command.
Limited by such systemic supply chain-constraints, JMC sought help from the George Group, a leader in process, operational and business transformation, which Accenture acquired. The consulting company could help JMC improve efficiency, military readiness and achieve high performance.
