C.5.2.  Progress of the Defence Logistics Transformation Programme

According to the MoD Annual Report, the impact of the DLTP has been positive, unifying several acquisition processes and concepts164:

"Its success has produced a sound understanding across the logistic community of the benefits achieved by an end-to-end support concept. Accordingly during 2006-07 there was a staged transfer and delegation of responsibility for delivering and managing further logistics transformation from the core DLTP team into the wider Defence Logistics Organisation, the Defence Procurement Agency and the Front Line Commands. The DLTP also prepared the ground for the recognition of the importance of through-life management in the Defence Industrial Strategy and the work to implement that in the Defence Acquisition Change Programme. "
