Extensive research on the impact of shipping and packaging errors in the private sector finds numerous negative outcomes, including reduced customer satisfaction, reduced customer loyalty, and lower profitability. However, little research has been done examining the impact of order fulfillment errors on military operations. The purpose of this research is to quantify the impact of supply discrepancy reports (SDRs) on military aircraft readiness metrics, including cannibalizations, not mission capable supply (NMCS) hours, aircraft availability and MICAP hours. Results show SDRs significantly impact aircraft readiness metrics in seven of the fifteen analyses conducted. Additionally, a quasi-experimental study is implemented at DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pennsylvania (DDSP) aimed at reducing supply discrepancies using performance measurement and feedback over a seventeen-week period. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) control charts showed a decline in the number of reported SDRs for fifteen consecutive weeks, amounting to the lowest average in over six years. The results of this research suggest that aircraft readiness metrics across the Air Force could show measurable improvement if similar SDR reduction strategies are implemented throughout more DoD suppliers.

Spätestens mit der Reformierung des SGB XII durch das Bundesteilhabegesetz (BTHG) prägt der Begriff der Personenzentrierung verbunden mit der Erwartung eines Wirksamkeitsnachweises der Leistungen die fachöffentliche Diskussion. Diesen multiperspektivischen Diskurs wollen wir in der vorliegenden Publikation anhand zentraler Fragestellungen und aktueller Entwicklungen diskutieren. Darüber hinaus sollen die nachstehenden Beiträge ein wenig Licht in das Dickicht der Wirkungsdebatte und der Forderung nach Personenzentrierung bringen. Es sei allerdings schon an dieser Stelle darauf hingewiesen, dass Licht immer auch Schatten wirft und Wirkungen in der Regel nicht ohne Nebenwirkungen auskommen. Dies zeigen auch die sehr unterschiedlichen Beiträge aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis.

This volume considers the ethics of policing and imprisonment, focusing particularly on mass incarceration and police shootings in the United States. The contributors consider the ways in which non-ideal features of the criminal justice system--features such as the prevalence of guns in America, political pressures, considerations of race and gender, and the lived experiences of people in jails and prisons--impinge upon conclusions drawn from more idealized models of punishment and law enforcement. There are a number of common themes running throughout the chapters. One is the contrast between idealism and realism about justice. Another is the attention to harmful consequences, not only of prisons themselves, but to the events that often precede incarceration, including encounters with police and pre-trial detention. A third theme is the legacy of racism in the United States and the role that the criminal justice system plays in perpetuating racial oppression.

Contemporary political philosophers disagree about whether theories of justice should be utopian or realistic. Contributors to this volume largely deny that the choice between realism and idealism is binary. Their contributions represent a continuum between realism and idealism that best represents the contemporary state of the debate.

International organizations collect data from national authorities to create multivariate cross-sectional time series for their analyses. As data from countries with not yet well-established statistical systems may be incomplete, the bridging of data gaps is a crucial challenge. This paper investigates data structures and missing data patterns in the cross-sectional time series framework, reviews missing value imputation techniques used for micro data in official statistics, and discusses their applicability to cross-sectional time series. It presents statistical methods and quality indicators
