Introduction to the Department of Defense / Defense Logistics Agency / Defense Logistics Information Service Business Impact Analysis (BIA) The purpose of the DLIS BIA will be to provide a Business Impact Analysis based on information previously submitted and authorized in the DLIS Risk Analysis (RA) and Risk Mitigation (RM) plan. The BIA will identify CBFs, MAO for each CBF, costs and requirements for each CBF A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a methodology used to determine the effect of an interruption of services to DLIS and its total impact on the DLIS mission within the DLA. The analysis provides valuable information on the short- and long-term effects of a disaster. DLIS operations are comprised of a variety of interconnected tasks and process that are focused on providing vital logistical information to the DLA and therefore DOD. The first order of business is development of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) it is vital to first understand the business processes and its impact on the DLA and DOD. While not all tasks and processes are deemed critical, all of the inter-related operations of the DLIS are requisite to service the mission. Services that directly impact the ability of the DLIS to meet its operational exigencies such as DOD Readiness Command, DOD Joint Military Combat Operations Task Force Support, international or national coordinated activities are considered mission critical. While other services, although important, must be made available in a

As discussed in lesson 5, the concept of DSCA is a complex provision that authorizes DOD assistance based on DOD Directive 3025.18 in the event federal, state, and local resources are exhausted. In order to improve DSCA and the domestic relationships between federal, state, and local partnerships, the DOD introduced initiatives to clarify the framework for providing military support. This includes the creation of the Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer (EPLO) to facilitate the allocation of DOD resources in support of civil authorities upon a declared disaster/emergency. Moreover, ambiguity found within the IRA provision undermines the ability for commanders to provide assistance in lieu of DSCA approval methods. Thus, Hurricane Katrina sparked the DOD’s review of the IRA provision, in order to close the federal response gap for providing immediate disaster support by identifying current legislative barriers. For instance, military leadership did not fully comprehend the authority obtained under the IRA provision, which delayed military aid and assistance during Hurricane Katrina (Leshinsky, 2006). For example, the military responded under the provision of the National Response Plan (NRP), which required the formal DSCA requests from FEMA. This delayed the response of the surrounding military units and is one of the aforementioned barriers that spawned from the bureaucratic nature of requesting military

This figure illustrates the future of BI for CTC. Independent data sources have been incorporated into a single BI system, within a global data model. All data will be loaded into corporate EDW via ETL. The EDW will feed the financial data mart for enterprise performance management, so business users will be able to conduct planning and budgeting functions. On the right side of the EDW, BI specialists will assist in organizing data marts into four categories: Supply Chain, Vendor,
