7 Principles of Logistics
Sustainability Survivability Simplicity Attainability Flexibility Economy Responsiveness
[Principle of Logistics]
the ability to provide adequate supply support at the right time and place in order that a staged operation is effectively carried out and sustained.
Responsiveness
[Principle of Logistics]
the complexity of procedures and policies are minimized by standardization of procedures and establishing clear and explicit priorities.
Simplicity
[Principle of Logistics]
the adaptability of logistics structures and procedures to changing situations, missions and concept of operation. Plans and operations should be flexible enough so that adequate support is delivered at the right place and at the right time.
Flexibility
[Principle of Logistics]
it is a given fact that a substantial amount of natural resource is poured into every military campaign. The ability to deliver requirements at the most strategic time and place at the least possible cost.
Economy
[Principle of Logistics]
ability of the organization to supply and equip its forces with essential war fighting requirements all throughout the duration of a military operation. This can be achieved through effective short term and long term planning.
Attainability
[Principle of Logistics]
All military campaigns bring with it the inherent risk of damaging military resources. Bases and installations are likely targets of attacks from the enemy, thus, the AFP employs effective measures to protect its own force and war fighting resources.
Survivability
