Logistics Analysts

Reconciling equipment inventories, validating fleet requirements, and reporting asset information through SEMS and LSEMS transfer directly to logistics data analysis.

How to prepare: Build an Excel work sample using fictional equipment inventory data to reconcile discrepancies and compare available assets with stated requirements.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain databases of logistics information.
  • Interpret data on logistics elements, such as availability, maintainability, reliability, supply chain management, strategic sourcing or distribution, supplier management, or transportation.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Power BI
  • Structured query language SQL

Procurement Clerks

Acquiring support equipment and validating asset requirements provide a foundation for requisition tracking and purchase-order support.

What the civilian work involves
  • Track the status of requisitions, contracts, and orders.
  • Prepare purchase orders and send copies to suppliers and to departments originating requests.
  • Compare prices, specifications, and delivery dates to determine the best bid among potential suppliers.
