With a rich history and background in supply chain, transportation, distribution and third-party logistics (3PL) (in which an organization procures logistics services from external companies) MAT has deep subject matter expertise and a pedigree second to none. MAT understands the dynamics of 3PL in a DOD environment specifically for the transportation of military equipment and freight in deployed environments. Implementing a 3PL raises a range of issues that MAT can help address. We redesign supply chains using complex models of 3PL scenarios, build rock-solid business cases to show cost savings and other benefits, and provide strategic sourcing and acquisition support. Advanced tracking technologies offer governments a way to reduce operating costs and manage assets more efficiently. For sensitive cargos that present a security risk, tracking technologies are essential. MAT can help its clients stay abreast of options and emerging technologies such as next-generation wireless, Unique Identification (UID), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and bar codes.
