Lean Thinking Comes to the Battlefield Beginning in the mid-1990s the Army and the Defence Logistics Agency, which manages its distribution centers began to apply lean thinking to logistics. They mapped processes, improved metrics, and formed process-improvement teams supported by leadership. Despite the military's earlier success in Desert Storm, the Army's logistics leaders realized that it was wasting a lot of time and manpower in its traditional approach to logistics. It took months to build up large stockpiles, which had to be moved when troops moved, which required large workforces, fleets of trucks, and soldiers to protect it all. In its new approach to logistics, the Army applied a systems approach to foreign and domestic logistics. (Published by Forbes, June 5, 2008.)
