In other words, it is very important to know what precisely is being sought, what precisely about that thing will be studied and how it will be studied. Some potential survey sites will be more target-rich than others and the leader of such a survey needs to keep that in mind when writing up the proverbial plan of attack (Loos et al
The form of the questions can range from scores along a number range, true/false or even open-ended questions. The last of those three are the hardest to analyze but they can fetter out feelings and details that more quantitative methods would not be able to garner (Majid et al
At the very least, there are those that bring certain methods and tactics into question. Even so, many would hold that there are indeed some methods and approaches that are "transferrable" in nature (Markofsky, 2014)
Indeed, there are some surveys where little differences are not something that needs to be worried about to any high amount of detail. That being said, there are other field surveys where minimal differences and variances are of major importance (Schultz & Lance, 2015)
, 2008). The CAS approach gathers aspects for understanding the contradiction between supply network emergency and control (Choi et al
Organizations need to be ready to share their assets (transportation, factory, distribution centers, etc.), even with rivals (Christopher & Holweg, 2011), when it comes to competitive relationships
3. Discussion of the problem A logical framework centered on a complex and comprehensive perspective can aid this goal (Dagnino et al
Subsequent tasks include war fighting, nonessential evacuation plans, peacekeeping and peace enforcement, as well as humanitarian tasks like disaster relief and humanitarian aid. According to German constitutional law (Article 87 a Grundgesetz (GG)), this complex range of responsibilities is mandatory upon militaries, and may be considered a service obligation in the purview of defense portfolios (Essig, Mohr & Tandler, 2014)
, respectively. Further, it has been noted that companies emphasizing solely on profits develop different supply relationships and sourcing patterns (Fleischmann et al
Considerable data on closed-loop supply chains arises from military practices which require stocking aircraft-related items. Some are repairable on field itself whereas others have to be forwarded to the central military depot where they are either disposed or repaired (Guide and Srivastava, 1997)

Towards simultaneously safeguarding operational effectiveness and ensuring efficiency, defense forces must focus on their respective core competencies, whilst employing contemporary forms of financing and cooperation. The above trend is manifested through realization of a number of PPPs (private-public partnerships) or Public Finance programs, which have grown in number in the past few years (Hartley, 2002)
CAS is a complex system theory. A complex comprises of systems having multiple interactions between agents or entities (Humphrey & Schmitz, 2001)
Moreover, the ability of locating product inventories aids in shortening time between conveyance points from the factory floor, warehousing unit and showroom. RFID proves valuable in clustering small consignment data from multiple sources guided along the same path in the initial distribution stages, or even automating rerouting despite change in travel-condition data (Liqin, 2014)
Project teams may be instituted, having representatives of downstream and upstream firms, for addressing common issues or answering other demands. These capabilities facilitate continuous supply chain adaptation (Marchi, Erdmann & Rodriguez, 2014)
Hence, it may be useful to learn historical information, which normally does not possess optimum important information. The environments characteristically display variables in product demand, product characteristics, existing machine characteristics, production plans, and supply levels (Velasquez et al
These companies produce an atmosphere of deep interaction inspired by exchange of information, knowledge, material, and funds. These exchanges emerge from pursuing individual companies' goals (Wycisk, McKelvey, & Hulsmann, 2008)
The current Air Force Secretary, Deborah Lee James, has announced a commitment to increasing USAF diversity, outlining nine proposals to help with this objective. She notes that the junior enlisted force is diverse, but that there are few opportunities going forward for women and minorities (Losey, 2015)
Diversity at USAF Many human resources practitioners have argued that increasing diversity in an organization can contribute to adding value to the organization and in some cases improving the competitive advantage of that organization (Richard, 2000)
Strategic roles would include demand management, commodity strategies, contract management, cost management, procure-to-pay improvement and supplier relationship management. Lastly, tactical responsibilities would include forecasting and plan requirements, requisitioning, supplier identification and selection, contract/PO preparation, receipt and inspection, invoice settlement/payment, records maintenance, the measurement of supplier performance and the improving of the P2P process (Monczka et al
