Purpose
The Joint Support Programme provides joint support
capabilities and services to the Department.
Measurable Objective
To support departmental activities by providing
joint logistic, technological and military policing
capabilities, services and facilities that meet
Government requirements.
Outputs
The Joint Support Programme provides common
support capabilities, facilities and services to the
Department. It establishes, provides training in,
and maintains the following areas: joint logistics,
Information Communication Technology and
Military Police.
The Logistics Agency met most of its STFE and
other requirements, namely logistic management,
supply support and services, facilities management,
engineering support services, and logistic training
and development. During the past year, the
Logistics Division made satisfactory progress, with
many noticeable achievements. The progress and
achievements are spread across the wide span of
responsibility of the Division, as highlighted in this
report.
Strategic Direction
The Division made significant progress,
notwithstanding the challenges, in terms of achieving
its core objective of delivering integrated logistic
services to the DOD. Top management established a
Logistics Intervention and Repositioning Programme
(LIRP) to address critical issues within SANDF
logistics that needed immediate intervention. The
LIRP is intended to reposition logistics and facilitate
a quantum improvement to achieve effective and
efficient logistic support in the DOD and set the basis
for continuous improvement. To this end, a LIRP
Steering Committee was established with 16 subworkgroups.
All workgroups made good progress
