First-Destination Freight (FDT) and Packaging (FDP)

Upcoming FDTPI Webinar in December 12th @ 11:00-12:00 EST (Urgent) The United States Women's Chamber of Commerce Margot Dorfman (Host) along with Janet Hern of SME ll Transportation of DLA Land and Maritime Columbus will sponsor a First Destination Transportation Packaging Initiative (F.D.T.P.I) Webinar. The FDTPI project entails the implementation of transportation and packaging concepts approved by DLA leadership that will transform the DLA business model in the manner in which supplies are transported and packaged. First destination shipments from suppliers to DLA include transportation and military standard (MIL-STD) packaging costs which are "bundled" into the acquisition price of the materiel, obscuring the real cost of the products. FDTPI will unbundle first-destination freight (FDT) and packaging (FDP) costs from the acquisition price of new-procurement materiel and utilize government personnel or contracted services to provide freight and/or MIL-STD packaging more efficiently than is possible by many DLA suppliers. FDTPI is one of DLA's "Big Ideas" designed to generate substantial savings over the five-year Fiscal Year Defense Plan.
