ISDEFE

Operational Logistics refers to Isdefe's capabilities in the area of operations, be it in domestic or foreign soil (deployments). Operational Logistics involves specific demands and a fundamental component is Supply Chain Management, which also has its peculiarities when applied to Operational Logistics.

Operational Logistics involves planning, defining, and implementing the supply chain for a mission, which includes the material and information process flows that are generated in an organisation, both internally and externally through suppliers and clients.

For over 20 years Isdefe has been providing Supply Chain Management, primarily in logistics for Armament systems for the Defence Ministry, and for the past 10 years Isdefe has been supporting the Armed Forces in the definition of its Operational Logistics for deployment on peace missions (Afghanistan, Lebanon, Chad, etc.)

Four years ago Isdefe began supporting the UN with Operational Logistics in its peace missions and currently has, for the first time, personnel deployed (18 people) to an area of conflict (Darfur). For this deployment, Isdefe has also developed its own necessary Logistics.
