Defense Transportation System (DTS)
The DTS represents a central part of USA's overall transportation network. It involves interrelationships, procedures, and resources of a number of federal, Department of Defense (DoD), non- U.S. and commercial activities supporting DoD's transportation requirements (Jankowski, 2003, p. 13). Foreign Military Sales or FMS constitutes a critical tool in the nation's security interests and in the promotion of its foreign policy. In the past ten years, FMS contracts have been steadily growing in number. The overall yearly FMS funding rose from eight to twenty- one billion dollars, between 1997 and 2006 (Yoo, Mallicoat, & Simpson, 2009, p. 307), proving that FMS growth necessitates a better DTS, in order for other countries to be backed through their security supports. This may be achieved through best practice integration into the System.
Literature Review
The business unit "Dynamic Transportation Systems" of the Mobility Department studies traffic system optimization for allowing individual motorized traffic, cyclists, pedestrians, and public transport to get from point A to point B in a quicker, safer, and a more environment- friendly manner. Concurrently, it ensures the overall transportation system carries on working optimally. Such a consideration of every mode of traffic forms the basis of effective mobility systems. These kinds of multifaceted research problems may be dealt with using the business entity's thorough experiences in the...

Information Systems (IS) and Technology Issues in Developing Countries Technology has changed society in a manner much like the Industrial Revolution of the 17th century. The technology revolution started in the U.S. And the countries of Western Europe, in a manner similar to the industrial revolutions. The benefits of this revolution were immediately obvious in the improvement of productivity and the quality of life in the countries. Realizing the benefits that
Logistics Management and Operations Systems Engineering Process The term systems engineering was coined in the early fifties within military circles. It denoted mega defense systems that were used by the United States military at that time. However, the field has grown into a major discipline that covers almost every form of project development. Whether one is constructing a house, developing an electronic device or initiating a complex transport logistics system, system engineering
Failing Business OD One of the most bewildering business phenomena is also one of the most common: whenever flourishing firms encounter large changes in their surrounding, they frequently fail to effectively respond. Incapable of defending themselves against competitors equipped with new strategies, products, or even technologies, they look at their best people go away, their sales and earnings erode, and their stock valuations drop. Others eventually manage to recover (normally after
